rooster59 Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 Six North Koreans arrested trying to enter Chiang Rai Image: 77kaoded Thai army rangers patrolling the Mekong River in the area of Chiang Khong, Chiang Rai picked up six suspects on Thursday. All six were North Korean women aged 32 to 44 from a variety of cities. They had paid a Laotian speedboat operator to whisk them across the river and like many of their compatriots hoped to apply for political asylum in Thailand and then be sent back to SOUTH Korea. 77kaoded reported that this business had gone quiet during the height of the pandemic but was now on the rise again with hundreds prepared to pay agents in Laos. The suspects are now in the hands of Chiang Mai immigration.

Do the right thing Thailand dont send them back you gain nothing by doing that 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They must be given sanctuary in Thailand or another country willing to take them 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
