Over Six hundred Myanmar migrants who are detained at the Immigration Detention Centre (IDC) in Ranong, Thailand, arrived back to Kawthoung township, Myanmar, from Ranong, Thailand, by motorboats on 2 February.
Although the Myanmar Embassy to Thailand stated on 30 January that detained migrants would be repatriated in three batches starting on 2 February after officials led by Myanmar Embassy Labour Attaché U Tin Aung and IDC officials negotiated with leaders of migrant workers who were detained at IDC, all detained Myanmar nationals were taken back on 2 February.
Kawthoung locals welcomed migrants, and health workers conducted health checks, took their body temperatures, and tested them for COVID-19. — TWA/MKKS
