Activist Plans Protest at Ministry of Interior Over French National's Deportation Order
Activist 'Tae Acheewa' has announced a protest at the Ministry of Interior on September 11 to appeal the deportation order issued against a French national residing in Koh Samui.
According to a report by Thai Post, activist 'Tae Acheewa' has publicly challenged the Ministry of Interior’s decision to deport Kevin Dimino, a French national and husband of a Koh Samui zoo owner. The activist claims that Dimino was acting to protect his family following an alleged confrontation involving an Israeli individual.
'Tae Acheewa' alleges that after being summoned to the Immigration Bureau, Dimino was detained, and he further claims that there were conflicting communications regarding the deportation status of both the husband and wife. The activist has scheduled a demonstration at the Ministry of Interior on September 11 to formally appeal the deportation order, questioning the fairness of the administrative action taken against the couple.
For residents and expatriates in Thailand, this case highlights the complexities of immigration enforcement and the potential for administrative actions to impact foreign nationals involved in local disputes. It remains to be confirmed whether the Ministry of Interior will grant an audience to the protesters or provide further clarification on the specific legal grounds for the deportation order. As this is an ongoing administrative matter, the final status of the couple’s residency and the outcome of the planned appeal remain uncertain.
