It is now unclear if Pakistani has properly inked the understood deportation deal with Thailand, who with great<br \/>\n    diligence set forth to arrest a large number of Pak-Christians in their anti-immigration thrust against overstayers.<\/p>\n<p>Those asylum seekers who are yet to be determined, are under appeal, or whose cases have been closed are set to either be deported or remain in IDC<br \/>\n    for an undetermined length of time.&nbsp; Some, having lost hope, have already paid their own ways to leave or have appealed for help with departure<br \/>\n    fines and associated fees.<\/p>\n<p>BPCA received confirmation from a Thai lawyer that people identified as refugees by foreign sponsors can also be bailed out along with UNHCR refugees.<br \/>\n    This feels more hopeful, though there is also a sense of these actions are tentative and only give temporary relief.<\/p><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div>The attitude is very much wait and see from Pak-Christian asylum-seekers in Bangkok. Some have lost hope and are returning to unknown conditions in Pakistan,<br \/>\n    while others are determined wait in the cramped quarters of IDC as long as is necessary. <\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div>Initially there were thought to be funds to send everyone back. In fact the one month deadline has not passed and this could still happen. However perhaps<br \/>\n    not to raise the ire of the international community any more than necessary, the Thai government seems to be focusing on those whose asylum cases are<br \/>\n    either closed or not yet determined by the UNHCR. <\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div>Even if the UNHCR has not given an asylum-seeker refugee status does not mean they do not have a legitimate case. There are known problems with the process,<br \/>\n    which include the use of clearly biased translators. A small matter of visual perspective, whether you are describing what you saw or what was done<br \/>\n    to you, during a traumatic incident can be exploited as a problem with credibility.<\/p>\n<p>Wilson Chowdhry said:<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: rgb(79, 129, 189);\"><strong>&#8220;We are allowed to bail out as many as are both eligible and that we can pay for at a cost of 50,000 Baht per adult.
