POLICE say 86 Muslim Rohingya asylum seekers from Myanmar detained in southern Thailand for illegally entering the country have escaped from a crowded immigration detention centre.
Police Colonel Kan Thammakasem says the men used blades to cut the cell's bars and ropes made of clothes to escape from the immigration building in Sadao district in Songkhla province early on Tuesday.
He says police are hunting for the men in nearby woods.
More than 1700 asylum seekers from Myanmar's beleaguered Rohingya minority are being held in various Thai detention centres after arriving by boat earlier this year.
Hundreds of the Rohingya staged a protest last month in Songkhla against crowded conditions.
About 30 of them made a similar escape from a police jail cell earlier this month.
