Thai PM: Myanmar refugees won’t be forced back


Prime Minister Prayuth Chan-ocha promised a United Nations special envoy that he will not force back people fleeing violence in neighbouring Myanmar, where the military ousted a democratically elected government in February.

UN Special Envoy on Myanmar Christine Schraner Burgener told the Prime Minister in a meeting in Bangkok that she hopes Thailand will help find ways to work with Myanmar’s military to ease the crisis, the prime minister’s office said in a statement.
