A group of 837 illegal Lao migrants arrived in Vientiane on Sunday
after spending years suffering in Thai detention camps.

Mr Kor spent more than two years in a camp in Phetsaboun province and
was living there when it was set on fire last month.

“I don't know who set the fire,” he said.

“More than 80 percent of the camp was completely burned and we didn't
have shelter to protect us from the rain and hot sun, so I really
wanted to return,” he said.

Mr Kor and the other migrants were deceived into believing the camp
was a departure point for migration to the United States . Instead the
illegal migrants were confined and did not have access to enough
food.

SBD my fellow countryman.

As I had said many times almost ten years ago in this public
forum,peole have learn how to appreciate their beloved
country.Nothing is like home. Home sweet home. It is about time for
both Laonok and Lao Hmong to look at their
motherland in OPTIMISTIC way. We are new, fresh generation. Thus, we
can't afford to keep killing each other just like
the old Lao generation.This is BIG POSITIVE STEP that PDR
government try to reconcile with all Lao ethnicities.
Keep doing good job, sokee LHL

MSF story about the 837 Lao hmong returnees - "Families have been torn apart...."

http://www.msf.org/msfinternational/invoke.cfm?objectid=BFD4E09B-15C5-F00A-25F632F977AF3BF7&component...

MSF again calls for the immediate halt of forced repatriations and
access to the deported Hmong for medical assistance

"Thai authorities claim that these were voluntary repatriations. It is
hard to believe," said Gilles Isard, MSF head of mission in Thailand.
"Families have been torn apart..."

Bangkok/Paris - An estimated 800 ethnic Lao Hmong refugees were
forcibly returned to Laos by the Thai government on Sunday, June 22,
and the Thai authorities have stated publicly that they intend to
proceed in the coming days with further repatriations to Laos from
among the remaining 6,700 refugees in the Huai Nam Khao camp in
Thailand’s Petchabun province.

Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) is calling once again on the
governments of Thailand and Laos to immediately stop all forced
repatriations of the Hmong refugees. Both governments should
facilitate the access of independent monitors to all forced returnees
in Laos and those believed to be held in detention centers in Thailand
in order that adequate medical and humanitarian assistance is provided
to them.
