Palestinian activists embarked on an e-campaign on social media networks to speak up for Palestinian and Syrian refugees in Thai prisons.
Recently, dozens of refugees have voiced their concerns over forced deportation as the Thai authorities continue to rebuff their appeals for visa-renewal.
The activists called on the Palestinians and Syrians to step up pressure on the UN High Commissioner for Refugees and Thai government and urge them to take up their moral and legal responsibilities in this regard, in accordance with the Refugee Convention and the international humanitarian law.
The activists also urged the mass media to raise the world’s awareness about the cause and speak up for refugees trapped at I.D.C.
“We’ve fallen prey to skin diseases as we’ve not seen the sun and been deprived of ventilation for quite a long while,” said a trapped Palestinian refugee from Syria in a letter emailed to AGPS several months ago.
