Dozens of displaced Palestinian families in Thailand have called on the United Nations to take action over the threats of refoulement they have been facing after they overstayed their visas.
The refugees appealed for serious measures to work out their legal status, release those detained at Thai detention center, halt arbitrary arrests, and secure their physical and moral protection.
The stranded refugees appealed to the UN to smooth the access of holders of UN cards to safe destinations, where their children’s rights to education, health care, and psychological support are met.
The refugees lashed out at the UNHRC in Thailand for failing to live up to its mission in this regard under the pretext that the refugees are not considered by the Thai authorities as asylum-seekers but rather as lawbreakers.
Over 600 Palestinian refugees in Thailand, among them 50 from Syria, have become on the verge of forcible deportation after the Thai authorities rebuffed their appeals for visa-renewal.
