Voice recordings 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 soundtrack, 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.
A stranded refugee said that one of the detainees has been kept in custody at I.D.C for over three years and that a number of children have been growing up at detention centers with no identity documents whatsoever. Others have had their travel documents invalidated due to the long detention periods.
The refugees have spoken out against the scorching temperatures at the detention center, along with the medical neglect and the poor-quality and insufficient food.
The refugees appealed to the international humanitarian institutions, the Palestine Liberation Organization, and the Thai government to take urgent steps so as to release them and enhance their conditions at the soonest time possible.
