A leading international human rights organization has urged the Thai government to stop forcing political dissidents who fled to Thailand for safety to return to authoritarian home countries, where they may face torture, persecution or death.
FILE - Thai rescuers cover a body on the shore of the Mekong River in Nakhon Phanom province northeast of Bangkok, Thailand , Thursday Dec. 27, 2018. DNA tests show that two bodies found washed up on the shore of Thailand ’s Mekong River are the corpses of anti-government activists, police said Tuesday, Jan. 22, 2019, in what are feared to be political killings.
The report said that in return for tracking down and returning the dissidents, the Thai government received cooperation from Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam to spy on Thai dissidents who had fled their own homeland to escape political repression.
”I think there is an opportunity to end this practice and for the Srettha administration to show it is different from the previous military-led government,” she added.
