Palestinians from Syria in Thailand Launch Distress Signals

Palestinian refugees from Syria trapped in Thailand have urged the international community to rally around them and work on releasing those held in Thai jails.

The refugees said the Thai authorities have been treating them as lawbreakers rather than asylum seekers fleeing war-stricken zones. A number of refugees have been arrested after they overstayed their visas.

Dozens of Palestinian and Syrian refugees from Syria have been grappling with dire conditions in Thailand, according to a testimony by a refugee from Bangkok.

The same source said 50 refugees, among them women, children and elderly persons, are locked up in I.D.C detention center for overstaying their visas.

On July 10, 2018, Palestinians stranded in Thailand’s lock-ups for overstaying their visas appealed to the international human rights institutions to hold contacts with the Thai government so as to release them at the soonest time possible.

AGPS urges the international community, United Nations, and Palestinian institutions to take urgent action so as to assist Palestinians from Syria stranded in Bangkok, where illegal immigrants and refugees are barely differentiated, and ensure they are fairly treated.
