Members of St. Paul's Hmong community say they've secured the remains of 211 people who were buried near a Buddhist temple in Thailand where Hmong refugees once lived. Hundreds of bodies were dug up in 2005, sparking outrage in the Hmong community. Some of the bodies were cremated. Michael Yang is with the Hmong Grave Desecration National Delegation, one of two delegations from St. Paul that traveled to Thailand last month to deal with the issue. He says now that his delegation has secured the remains from the Chinese foundations that exhumed the bodies, the Hmong community must decide what to do with them.
