Palestinian activists have embarked on an e-campaign on Avaaz foundation website in an attempt to speak up for dozens of Palestinian and Syrian refugees stranded in Thailand, where dozens have been detained by the Thai authorities for overstaying their visas.
The activists appealed to the UN, the UNHCR, the Palestinian Authority, the international human rights organizations, and the Thai authorities to make urgent steps so as to work out the refugees’ legal status and ensure they are treated in accordance with international humanitarian laws.
Over 600 Palestinian refugees, including 50 from Syria, have sought shelter in Thailand, where they have been treated as lawbreakers rather than as asylum-seekers fleeing war-torn zones.
