Re : The policy to pressure the male migrant workers by deporting their
families
To : The chief of the Immigration Bureau and media
According to the news reported by media on 22 November 1999 that
the deputy chief of the Immigration Bureau has denied the allegation that
the immigration plan to pressure the male migrant workers by deporting
their wives and children to Burma ;
The non-governmental organizations are pleased and do appreciate that the
high rank officials from the Immigration Bureau strongly confirm his
concern on human rights.
However, the fact is that the policy was disclosed by the deputy governer
of one Southern province in his interview with Mathichon newspaper date 13
November 1999. Therefore it is assumed that the policy, which is a
serious violation of basic human rights, was locally planned and
immplemented in the area.
According to this, the non-governmental organizations urge the Immigration
Bureau to confirm its policy to their local authorities urgently. This is
to make sure that the Immigration officers will not take part in any
violations of basic human rights.
