Thousands of Hmong face forced repatriation - 01 Mar 08

The United Nations' refugee agency is concerned about Thailand's apparent forced repatriation of a group of about a dozen ethnic Hmong back to Laos.
Thousands have lived as refugees in Thailand for decades, claiming they would be persecuted if they were forced back across the border.
However, under a repatriation pact, the Thai government will send nearly 8,000 Hmong back to Laos.
International monitors have been barred from the country but the Laos government says the Hmong will be safe.

IHey Seximong, Afghanistan is not a Communist country, it is a country run by the Talibans, a Islamic militant group. I am what some of you can call a Meo/Hmong in the U.S Marines and the Talibans are no longer running Afghan because they were defeated by the end of 2001. Anyway these comments are getting more Absurd. I have a few good Mien/Viet friends with me and they also believe that this is bullshit! I don't know who is right or wrong, but this crap about Hmong being torture have to end!!!

รัฐบาลไทยเลือกที่จะสร้างความพอ­ใจแก่คอมมิวนิสลาว คุรกล่าวว่าเพื่อสร้างความสัมพั­นธ์อันดีกับเพื่อนบ้าน แต่มันแลกมาด้วยชีวิตคน คุณฆ่าคน คุณฆ่าพวกเขา ผมเชื่อว่ามีบางคนต้องตายเกี่ยว­กับเรื่องนี้

I,m Thai. I feel bad about it. It is a requirement of the Thai and Lao government.

Thai people do not want to happen. I can not do anything with it.

I am very very sorry about this.
