A delegation from St. Paul's Hmong community will head to Thailand later this month to investigate the desecration of hundreds of Hmong graves in that country. In 2005, a videotape surfaced showing workers in Thailand exhuming Hmong graves, dismembering bodies, removing the bones, and throwing the remains into open graves. The news shocked the local Hmong community. The exhumations prompted St. Paul Mayor Chris Coleman to send a 4-person delegation to Thailand. Delegate Va-magn Thoj is a Policy associate with the Coleman administration. He says the Thai government is open to meeting with the St. Paul group.
