Thailand criticised for returning Myanmar resistance members

BANGKOK, April 11 (AP): Human rights groups and opposition politicians in Thailand are criticising the government for forcibly repatriating three men who were reportedly members of an anti-government resistance movement in military-ruled Myanmar.

The Bangkok-based People’s Empowerment Foundation said the action violated universal human rights principles and Thailand’s own policy because the men were likely to be in danger as a result of their activities fighting against Myanmar's government.
