BANGKOK, Oct 10 (TNA) – Immigration police was scheduled to deport a CNN news team this afternoon after it entered a childcare center that was a massacre scene in Nong Bua Lam Phu province.

Their deportation was ordered after they trespassed on the child development center which police already cordoned off.

As they abused their arrival status, their visas were revoked. They were fined and then deported. The fine for such cases was set at 5,000-10,000 baht. (TNA)
