Bangkok (TIP) : A fashion model from Myanmar who feared being arrested by the country’s military government if she was forced back home from exile has arrived in Canada, which she says has granted her asylum. Thaw Nandar Aung, also known as Han Lay, left on a flight from Bangkok’s Suvarnabhumi Airport early on September 28 morning, according to ArchayonKraithong, a deputy commissioner of Thailand’s Immigration Bureau. Thaw Nandar Aung wrote on Facebook she had arrived in Canada and thanked her fans for their support. “I will do my best to help my beloved Myanmar and the people of Myanmar as much as I can,” she wrote in the post seen on Thursday. Thaw Nandar Aung had told Radio Free Asia, a US-government-funded broadcaster, on Tuesday that she was headed to Canada, after having been granted political asylum there with the assistance of the UN refugee agency and the Canadian Embassy in Thailand.
