  • Joua Va Yang (M) and Five Family Members, Lao Hmong Asylum-Seekers
    PUBLIC AI Index: ASA 39/004/2009 03 April 2009 UA 94/09 Fear of forcible return/torture/ill-treatment/fear for safety THAILAND Joua Va Yang (m) and five family members, Lao Hmong asylum-seekers Joua Va Yang, a Lao Hmong asylum-seeker, his wife and four children, are currently held at Khao Kho district prison in Phetchabun province, northern Thailand. They are at risk of forcible return from Thailand to Laos, where they could face serious human rights violations, including torture and ill-treatment, and arbitrary and indefinite detention. Thai authorities arrested Joua Va Yang in the evening of 28 March at his home in Huay Nam Khao camp, Phetchabun province in northern Thailand. Thai military personnel allegedly beat him, and moved him to the camp detention centre. Thai authorities later took him to the district hospital for treatment for his injuries, then returned him to the detention centre. On 31 March, the Thai authorities moved Joua Va Yang with his family to Khao Kho district jail. Joua Va Yang acted as a guide for two journalists from the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) who were secretly filming a documentary on members of the Hmong ethnic group hiding in the jungle in Laos in 2004. The documentary, broadcast in May that year, depicted traumatized families hiding from the Lao military and struggling to survive. Joua Va Yang's family left Laos some time afterwards, fearing persecution by the Lao authorities. They have been living at Huay Nam Khai camp along with thousands of other Lao Hmong. Under customary international law, all countries are bound by the principle of non-refoulement, which says that no one may be returned to a country where they would be at risk of serious human rights violations.

    Honorable Abhisit Vejjajiva Prime Minister of Thailand Bangkok, Thailand [email protected] 20 February 2011 By Email cc: Mr. Jurin Laksanawisit, Minister of Public Health Mr. Chavarat Charnvirakul, Minister of Interior Mr. Pirapan Salirathavibhaga Pol. Lt. Patcharawath Wongsuwan, Police Chief Royal Thai Police Ms. Sureeprapha Trivej, Secretary-General, Office of the Narcotics Control Board Dear Prime Minister, We write to express our grave concern at reports of the Thai government’s plans to round up and ‘treat’ 30,000 people who use drugs from 20-27 February. Our understanding is that this campaign is intended to include forced drug dependence treatment, internment in drug detention centres - including those newly established for this campaign - and the entry of all names of detainees onto a registry. We ask that the Government urgently clarify this strategy. What is planned between 20-27 February relating to people who use drugs, and how will this be carried out? In particular: what is legal basis for any such detention en masse ? What assessment of drug dependence will be carried out? On what basis is the Government intending to treat people who are clinically not in need of dependence treatment? These plans for mass detention and forced treatment raise considerable human rights concerns, especially given Thailand’s history of nationwide anti-drug campaigns. The 2003 war on drugs established a system by which drug users were arrested and detained without due process rights in centres run by public security forces. That campaign has been widely condemned throughout the international community, and by human rights and public health experts within Thailand.

  • Joint NGO Submission to the Universal Periodic Review of Thailand on Drug Users in Thailand
    March 9, 2011 Joint NGO Submission to the Universal Periodic Review of Thailand on Drug Users in Thailand Introduction: 1. This report is based on the meeting of February 24, 2011 by the Thai Drug Users Network, PSI Thailand Foundation, Alden House, Foundation for AIDS Rights, Mitsampan Harm Reduction Centre (MSHRC) and the Raks Thai Foundation held in Bangkok Thailand. Situation of Addictive Substances Users in Thailand 2. Thailand considers addictive drug use to be an illegal behavior. The death penalty is still used for major criminal actions. More recently under the Narcotics Addict Rehabilitation Act B.E. 2545 (2002), Thailand adopted the policy to observed drug users as patients that should undergo a rehabilitation process rather than a criminal act. 3. Thailand has a long history of serve law enforcement against drug abuse and trafficking of drugs. This is most well recorded during the Prime Minister Thaksin‟s war against drugs produced some results. Between February and August 2003, over 51,000 arrests and 2000 extra-judicial deaths have occurred, causing worry among international and local human rights watchers. 4. The War on Drugs was seen as key turning point resulting the price increase of drug particularly opiate based substances. Heroine has been more difficult to find and prices increases. The majority of new drug users use various types of methamphetamines. An alarming trend however is the number of users who have started injecting non-opiate drugs such as methamphetamines and codeine. This has increased the proportion of the population that is at risk of HIV and HCV infections.
