BANGKOK - After exactly one month behind bars at the Bangkok Immigration Detention Center, Mr. Huang Guohua and his 4-year-old daughter Huang Ying have been released to resettle in New Zealand following negotiations by the United Nations High Commission for Refugees (UNHCR).

Father and daughter flew to Auckland the evening of January 15. Approximately 40 supporters came to see them off at Don Muang International Airport and held an impromptu press conference.
