But now they are at risk of extradition to Myanmar.

This is because they have been abroad and have been refused entry to Thailand.

According to foreign media, the Immigration Department of Thailand said that Miss Myanmar Han Ray 2020, who was denied entry, has been at Suvarnabhumi Airport in Bangkok since the 21st.

Han Lei arrived in Thailand from Da Nang, Vietnam, but was refused entry because a problem was found with her passport.

Sources said the Myanmar military may have invalidated Han Ray’s passport and he may have been denied entry.

The Myanmar military has issued an arrest warrant for him after making comments against the regime.

Thai immigration officials explained that he could be deported back to his home country or travel to another destination subject to the approval of the airline he flew on.

There were also reports that he was seeking asylum through the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR).

“He wants to live in Thailand,” said Han Ray, “We are waiting to find a way to stay in Thailand.”
