Thailand on Thursday said it will build more temporary shelters for Rohingya and other migrants even as the country described the irregular migration as clearly illegal. Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha said there were already nine such shelters that had accommodated nearly 500,000 illegal immigrants and the new facilities would be for temporary detention. Repatriation had reduced their number to about 100,000, Prayut said. “Stop talking about going to a third country. No one would accept them, but everyone tries to make a transit point, such as us, take responsibility. Is this fairIJ” Prayut said. Thailand could not avoid the responsibility of temporarily caring for migrants, including Rohingyas, but other countries and international organisations must also provide their support, he said, pending the repatriation.
