The Thai music group #Faiyen is now in France and the members are applying for political asylum. I visited them three weeks ago in #Laos, where they had been hiding for four years -- afraid for their lives, threatened by unknown people. #srfnews #srfglobal https://t.co/SVL57lGLlf— Lukas Messmer (@messmerlukas) August 2, 2019
Congratulations to #FaiYen , a Thai dissident band who have just been granted asylum in France.— Andrew Johnson (@manusyadrew) August 2, 2019
They had been hiding in Laos but were at risk after other dissidents in exile there were found murdered. Bonne chance! #SaveFaiYen
While @SecPompeo lauds Thailand’s democracy, the protest band Faiyen, which feared they would be targeted in a crackdown against dissidents abroad, was granted asylum in France today, reports @zenjournalist.
