Rohingya camp abandoned before raid

Authorities raided a camp in a rubber plantation in Songkhla's Hat Yai district where about 200 illegal Royingya migrants were reported to be hiding on Thursday morning, but found it had been abandoned shortly before they arrived, reports said.

The camp was located in a rubber plantation near Ban Chalung in tambon Chalung of Hat Yai district.

It is believed the Rohingya were moved out of the camp by the smugglers only a few hours before the raid.

    Moving 200 hundred people in such a short time isn't easy task and to hide them even difficult. After catch and prosecute them the official should hire them as emergency evacuators.They will be good for disaster events such as fire in crowded nightclubs,bomb scare, fake or real. You see? sometimes good guys can learn things from the bad ones. life learning experience. No need to spend money to send them abroad for socalled "Doo Ngan".
