Palestinian from Syria in Thailand Appeal for Humanitarian Action

Palestinian refugees from Syria trapped in Thailand have urged the international community, the United Nations, the Palestine Liberation Organization, and the Palestinian Embassy, among other concerned bodies, to rally around them and work on releasing those held in Thai jails.

The refugees said that all the way through the past seven years, the Thai authorities have been treating them as lawbreakers rather than asylum seekers fleeing war-stricken zones. A number of refugees have been arrested after they overstayed their visas.

Dozens of Palestinian and Syrian refugees from Syria have been grappling with dire conditions in Thailand, according to testimonies by refugees from Bangkok.

Dozens of refugees, among them women, children and elderly persons, have been detained in Thailand for overstaying their visas.

Refugee families in Thailand also risk to go forcibly deported after the Thai authorities issued a decision to tighten grip on refugees without legal residence permits. The measure will bring about serious fallouts on the Palestinian refugees who can neither return to their homeland nor head for another destination.

Over recent years, activists have raised alarm bells over the dire conditions of captivity in Thai detention centers, where dozens of inmates are crammed into cells that can barely accommodate a handful of persons. Palestinian refugees are also locked up in cells where drug traffickers, sex traffickers, and criminals are held.

The situation is far exacerbated by the failure of the UNHCR to live up to its responsibilities as regards the crisis.
