The hand-over each time is made officially and there is a signing of
documents signaling the total number, the number of families, women
and children, the place of the Hand-over and the name of the sender
and recipient. The Hand-over documents are signed in two copies to be
given one to Thailand Authorities and another one to Lao Authorities.
So no one can play with the number.

The exact number of Hmong handed over to Laos by Thai Authorities on
the 22 JUne 2008 was 837 and both sides keep record officially.

After staying in Paksane for second screening (by the Lao sides) and
after the sending back to their home cities, the Lao side send a copy
detailing the number of families and persons send to which province
and district in Laos to its Thai counterpart. On top of it, we also
send a copy of DVD of the handing-ver to local authorities in Laos to
the Thai side so that they can keep a record and screen to Hmong
people in Houay Namkhao to show that nobody is harmed and sho
interview of the feeling of returnees in their country. Those DVD can
also be seen in Youtube or Flick.

So this is what I can tell you of this process which respect the
principle of transparancy. From time to time, we also invite foreign
press to witness and film the temporary Centre in Paksane to shut the
mouth of bad element trying to distort and fabricate stories. A DVD
relating the whole process of receiving, screening, sending the 837
persons back to their local district and interview of returnees will
be ready soon and will be put on Youtube for you to see and sent to
our embassies abroad and foreign embassies in Laos.

This is because we are just too familiar with fabrication by bad
elements.
