Did you read the court report??Obviously I must have misinterpreted it did I or missed the holes in it some where with your accurate statistical account of 99% 'certain'He's legally entitled to be here to the 28th Febuary ...isn't he???Be careful using statistics and how you report things mate...leave that to the politians or journo's of the world to make things up !!

How can they appeal and expect to win???He has immigration documents (e.g. visa)that entitles him to legally work and live in Thailand...What grounds of appeal can the immigration department expect to win on??This is a lose,lose case for them and they know it!!!

No, he has not ANY legal paper and it is 99% certain. Nothing new, here are thousands of illegal workers from Burma or Laos, even Cambodia. Until the boss is paying to the policeman in his area, all will be ok. But, cases as this one give a light about human trafficking in Thailand so reaction of the court was quick, or was at all. No one want publicity about those things now after USA (H.Clinton initiated) put Thailand on watching list about human trafficking.

Why isn't there an arrest warrant out for the employer?

Yes, i ask the same question, however nothing about the employer has been said. Perhaps he is a policeman or other hi so official ?

I think it's best to read the article and use the information supplied by the OP. This person, according to the article, has a valid work permit. Many aliens apparently do not have work permits. Someone assumed, maybe, that because he was Burmese, he was illegal.

This was not the case.

Let's not belabor the point and end up with posts deleted and warnings issued.

Well said Scott, and thank you for other messages
