Immigration Bureau to Deter Myanmar Migrant Protests in Thailand

 

 

CHIANG RAI (NNT) - The Immigration Bureau (IB) is in talks with Myanmar migrants to deter them from organizing protests in Thailand as such actions will worsen the local Covid-19 situation.

 

IB commissioner Pol Lt Gen Sompong Chingduang said the IB team is due to visit Chiang Rai, Chiang Mai, Mae Hong Son and non-border zones in Lamphun. They will work with local authorities to stem potential Covid-19 infections spilling over from the long border with Myanmar.

 

He said the IB has learnt that some Myanmar migrant workers in Chiang Rai and Chiang Mai may be organizing their own anti-junta protests in Thailand that could aggravate the Covid-19 outbreak situation.

 

Pol Lt Gen Sompong said he has instructed investigators from Immigration Division 5 and the IB to monitor the movements of migrants and get in touch with their leaders in the Northern provinces.

Hard to see this is Immigration Police jurisdiction.

Who knows anymore?

without border runs, visa scams and tourists they are really bored at their posts, so now they do take care about covid and protests.

Still, all borders are as porous as they always were - the human trade must go on, thailand needs more slaves in the fishing industry in samut sakhon, navy controlled fishing ports in eastern board and sexual slavery at pattaya and elsewhere
