Some 70 Bangladeshi and Rohingya detainees staged a protest yesterday at Pibulmangsahan Immigration Police Office in Ubon Ratchathani province.
The 70 men, sent there by the Padang Besar Immigration Police in Songkhla province, said they wanted to go home after being detained in crowded conditions since April 4.
After border patrol police were sent to control the situation, office chief Pol Colonel Suthep Korpaibulkij negotiated with three representatives of the group and learned about their demand. The protest ended peacefully.
