Thailand: Life at a Dead End: Lao Hmong refugees detained in Thailand

A group of 158 Lao Hmong refugees, at least 92 of whom are children, have been held for two years at the Immigration Detention Center in the north of Thailand. The conditions at the centre are harsh and the health of many of the refugees has been badly affected. Amnesty International believes that many of the Lao Hmong in Thailand are at risk of serious human rights violations if they are forcibly returned to Laos.
