Popular Post webfact Posted September 27, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted September 27, 2022 (FILES) This file handout photo taken on March 24, 2021 and released by the Miss Grand International beauty pageant on March 25, 2021 shows Miss Grand International contestant Han Lay taking part in the national costume part of the contest in Bangkok. Myanmar’s former beauty queen and an anti-junta activist, Thaw Nandar Aung, aka “Han Lay”, who has been stranded in Thailand due to immigration difficulties, has finally been granted asylum in Canada. Local and international media outlets, such as the BBC, cited sources saying that she will be leaving Thailand’s Suvarnabhumi on September 27th, heading to Incheon first and then on to Toronto, Canada. The 23-year-old has been stranded since September 21st, and attempts were reportedly made by Myanmar authorities to have her repatriated, but she was not forcibly sent back. While no confirmation has been provided by the military administration in Myanmar as to whether her passport has been revoked, spokesperson General Zaw Min Tun had said that cooperation of neighbouring countries and Interpol has been requested by arresting “fugitives” with warrants issued for them.

Agree with you partly. Hat's off to a great country, which currently is being controlled by pathetic leadership. At least they did something commendable. 12 1 3 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post HaoleBoy Posted September 27, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted September 27, 2022 Good to see Canada do this, BUT it might have meant more if one of the ASEAN nations had done this first! The collective ASEAN countries talk so much about how great they can be together (and in theory they can be), but with the various junta gov's in ASEAN they get little done. 16 2 2 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post spidermike007 Posted September 27, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted September 27, 2022 Always wonderful to see a nation stand up to oppression, savagery, or totalitarianism. In other words Burma, Russia or China. Very heroic of the Canadians to do so. One cannot but notice that no offers were forthcoming from any member of ASEAN. Scared of Burma and China are we? 8 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Decent leadership? That's the first time I've ever heard anyone accuse Justin "Castro Blackface" of being decent. He's a protégé of Klaus Schwab and is spear heading the shift into tyranny in the western world. He froze bank accounts of protesters and even those supporting the protesters!

Dogmatix Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 (edited) Well done Canada! But I wonder if she had been a 50 year bloke with nothing much to recommend him, would they have scooped him out of the airport or told him to wait in the queue which is several years long?

Canada under Trudeau is totalitarian. He stopped people from free travel and called them Nazis. He froze their bank accounts for simply protesting.
