Thailand has started deporting thousands of Hmong refugees to Laos.

The Thai government says they are illegal migrants, but the refugees say they fled political persecution. Human Rights groups say they have major concerns for their safety in the communist country.

Al Jazeera's Hannah Belcher travelled to Laos to inspect the conditions of Hmong who have just returned.

  • the narrator said laos insisted these people volunteered to return home..but watching the men crying...they have the guts to say volunteered? i think it's more forcing...

  • @hmoobxyooj23, I am a hmoobxyooj as well, but I don't like your language at all brother. Don't say that the Hmong oversea cannot do anything. In the U.S Hmong currently have over 300 doctors and 2000 masters and 10-20 thousands BS. They have lots millionaires and business people. If the Hmong U.S put together of their wealth then they possibly wealthier than the whole country of Laos okay brother.

  • @11157marty The Hmong has always talk bad about the Lao people. I wouldn't be surprise why we never really support Hmong cause nor do we care. The Hmong are just making us Laotian people around the world their personal enemy period. And beside, I haven't seen a single Hmong comment on youtube or any other forum that speak so legitimately nice about Lao people in general. Its all about making Hmong look good and innocent for them.

  • @pangiaxiiong Vang Pao and his cult idealist was a threat not only to the Lao Government. But also a threat to the Laotian people. I'm sure if the Hmong over took Laos as their country. Lao ppl will fight till the end. And when push comes to shove. That is the worst thing the Hmong will ever do and will remember.

  • I dont understand why they wont released the hmong people but then again they keep killing us and dont want us there... They just want to torture us

  • Don't worry be stand behind all of you... Get close to ur relative. God bless you all....

  • exx123456 Bad people getting bad life no a place or country to live.

  • @tseemtaus I do agree with you on that and thank you for standing up for our HMONG people!!

  • They picked 4th of July in 1008 to do it too.

    IRONY???

    .

  • I'm going to Laos next month - u could donate to me - I think I'll do a better job than some non- Hmong I want to show the horror and devastation that the American government and it's political agenda have tormented our race.

    The world needs to see this so they could help- not the US of A. Their chance was over when they ran from the war they started - cowards!!!!
