Halifax police investigating Monday morning Dartmouth death as suspicious | SaltWire #newsupdateBANGKOK - Thai civil society groups voiced concern on Tuesday about the fate of 19 stateless children taken into government custody this month, saying they could be deported to neighbouring Myanmar, although a minister denied any plan to do so.

She cited a similar incident last July when 126 children, mostly belonging to ethnic minorities, were sent to Myanmar by Thai authorities because they were undocumented, sparking an uproar by civil society groups. But Varawut Silpa-archa, Thailand's minister for social development and human security, denied there was any deportation plan in the current case.
