STORY REMOVED: AS–China-Thailand-Escape
BANGKOK (AP) — The Associated Press has withdrawn its July 27, 2023, story about purported bomb threats allegedly aimed to implicate a Chinese family seeking visas to the Netherlands and who then wound up in immigration detention in Thailand instead. Documents shown to AP in 2023 that referred to bomb threats have been disavowed by the Dutch government and appear to have been forged. The AP cannot verify that the family’s account of what happened to them is true.
