Thailand;Refugees Buried in Mass Graves

Migrant crisis: Rohingya refugees buried in mass graves near Thailand authorities, survivor says

As Thai and Malaysian authorities continue their hunt for hidden graves of refugees in a remote border jungle, the biggest gravesite of all may have been discovered hidden in plain sight.

Just 800 metres from the front door of the police centre in the Thai border town Padang Besar, and a five-minute stroll from the Thai immigration office, lie dozens of concealed graves of Rohingya refugees who have fled abject persecution in their homeland Myanmar.

More than 100 secret graves might lie in the smallcemetery, and overlooking the site just metres away is the house of the smuggler believed to have put them there.

He said the trafficker brought the bodies off the mountain jungles and buried them in the town  graveyard to avoid evidence of the dead being found at his jungle camps.

Whenever there was a load of two or three corpses, Buraq would be driven through the streets of Padang Besar at midnight towards the little-used cemetery.
