According to reliable sources the NSCN (IM) General Secretary Th. Muivah, chief negotiator in the current peace dialogue with the Government of India was stopped and detained by the Thai Immigration at the Thailand Airport on July 17 while he was on his way to Bangkok, Thailand for the crucial upcoming Indo-Naga political talks scheduled for July 28-29.
As per reliable information received at The Morung Express, Muivah was stopped by the Thai Immigration at the Thailand Airport and interrogated for almost 7 hours for no rhyme and reason. He was called bad names and the officers reportedly have called him a terrorist. The Thai Immigration Authorities have confiscated his passport.
The Immigration Officers treated him like a criminal and told him that according to Thai Law he cannot enter the Kingdom of Thailand for 100 Years.
Reacting to the incident, the Amsterdam based Naga International Support Center (NISC) in a press communiqué pointed out that it was not the policy of the Thai Government to ban Muivah from entering the Kingdom of Thailand, for he has a valid Visas issued by the Royal Thai Embassy, The Netherlands, after due clearance by Royal Foreign Ministry and National Security of Thailand.
As such, the NISC has called on the Thai Government to immediately return Muivah’s passport, to honor its own visa so that Mr. Muivah can participate in the peace talks to be held in Bangkok on July 28, July 29. “As Mr. Muivah is on a mission of peace, is duly endorsed by the Naga People, he is not to be branded a terrorist by the Thai Immigration”, the NISC stated.
“Since Mr. Muivah is due to negotiate with the Government of India to seek peace and to arrive at an honorable solution, please expedite the procedures of clearing him of all he has supposedly been accused of”, the NISC statement further said.
