Palestine Ambassador in Malaysia, Walid Abu Ali, also non-resident Ambassador to Thailand, said he has received promises by the Thai authorities to release Palestinian refugees detained in Thailand.
Abu Ali said he had met with the Thai Ambassador in Malaysia after he had been tasked by the Palestinian Authority President to keep tabs on the situation of Palestinian refugees in Thailand.
A memorandum was handed over by Palestine Ambassador to the Ambassador of Thailand. The document denounced the abduction sweeps launched against the refugees.
He added that the Thai government has been chasing down all refugees seeking shelter in its territories, regardless of their origins.
According to Abu Ali, the list of detainees includes four women, seven children, and a number of men. They are expected to be released next Monday.
Voice recordings recently released by activists have provided tangible evidence about the tragic conditions endured by Palestinian and Syrian refugees stranded in Thailand and held at I.D.C detention center in Bangkok for overstaying their visas.
As emerges in the soundtracks, children, women, and elderly refugees are crammed in over-crowded detention centers, where they are made to sit and sleep in a squatting position, with their legs drawn up closely beneath or in front of their vulnerable bodies.
