A so-called Committee of Palestinian Refugees in Thailand was recently formed by the stranded refugees to keep tabs on their legal and humanitarian situation in the Thai territories.
In a press statement, the refugees said the committee has seen the day in response to the crackdowns, arbitrary abductions, and deportation threats which the Palestinians in Thailand have been subjected to under the guise of overstaying their visas.
The five-member committee is made up of: Abu Ali Abu AlNada, Mohamed Redwan AlDasouki, Ammar Abu Hamza, Alaa Qudsiya, and Alaa Melhem.
The statement stressed that no other body but the committee should be consulted by official institutions and mass media over precise data on the Palestinians in Thailand.
The refugees called for serious efforts in order to pressurize the Thai government to grant them temporary residence in the country, release detained refugees, and work on securing their safe access to another destination pending their return to their homeland—Palestine, from which they were forced out in 1948.
The statement urged all Palestinian factions, institutions, and NGOs, along with UN-run bodies and refugee organizations to take immediate action over the calamitous situation endured by Palestinian refugees in Thailand.
