Rights groups called on Tuesday for an independent investigation into the fatal shooting of a Rohingya Muslim from Myanmar who was involved in a dramatic mass breakout from a detention centre in southern Thailand.
Twenty-one Rohingya men escaped from the Phang Nga Immigration Detention Centre in the early hours of Monday after sawing through an iron bar in their communal cell.
One was shot dead and three caught after they kicked, pushed and threw stones at police and immigration officers who chased them up a nearby mountain, police said.
Eleven more Rohingya were arrested on Tuesday and will be charged with fleeing detention, police said. Another four are still missing. (Courtesy of news.trust.org)
