ST. PAUL (June 1, 2010) -- U.S. Ambassador to Laos, Ravic Huso was in St. Paul last week to discuss ongoing issues affecting the more than 4,500 Hmong who were forcibly repatriated from Thailand to Laos in December 2009.
Huso updated several hundred in attendance at Metropolitan State University Auditorium on the progress of Laos on many fronts as well as the Hmong repatriation issues that have relatives and community concerned in Minnesota.
The event was co-hosted by U.S. Senator Al Franken and the office of Congresswoman Betty McCollum, and also present were State Senator Mee Moua and State Rep. Cy Thao. Franken responded to the repatriation in January, with a public information gathering forum after his office received concerned calls from community with information they reportedly received indirectly from relatives in Laos.
