There were scenes of wailing<br \/>\n    as the women begged to the immigration to let them go. Seeing their desperate situation, the police let the women with children stay but arrested all<br \/>\n    adults including men and women. Panic struck through the whole building as some hid themselves under the bed, behind cupboards and inside the washrooms.<br \/>\n    Police went away taking as many as they could but returned in the afternoon to check if any were left behind.<\/p>\n<p>\n    <br \/> Our Thailand officer, Christian Malik gathered evidence on the ground. He said: \u201cUtter scenes of desperation were seen as people fell on their knees<br \/>\n    and begged for their freedom. Children were struck with a trauma after they witnessed being separated from their fathers. This act of aggression is<br \/>\n    unjustifiable across the world and all western states should question Thai authorities and UNHCR for their role in stopping this brutal incarceration.\u201d<br \/>\n    <br \/> People were brought in a van loaded with people. When they came out, they were handcuffed in group of 6 and were struggling to move. After hearing<br \/>\n    verdict from the judge, BPCA paid fines of overstay for 6 people and prevented them from being sent to Central jail. People are currently detained<br \/>\n    in a jail inside a block of IDC (Immigration Detention Center) and will be sent to prison cells where hundreds of Pakistani Christians are suffering<br \/>\n    because being unable to afford a hefty bail amount of \u00a31,000. The amount is a security deposit for 2 years and will be returned after the person moves<br \/>\n    out of Thailand.<br \/>\n    <br \/> In a separate meeting, our Thailand representative Christian Malik met with a delegation of Christian Solidarity International (CSI). It included<br \/>\n    Mr. Herbert Meier, an advocate and president of CSI, Mr. Gunnar Weibalck and Pastor Mukhtar Masih from Karachi, Pakistan. During the meeting, CSI expressed<br \/>\n    their deep concern about the destitute situation of Pakistani Asylum seekers in Bangkok and are extremely worried about the indefinite detentions that<br \/>\n    Pakistani Christians in IDC. During the meeting Christian told them about the ongoing projects of BPCA and our partnerships with Jubilee, VOP, Trott<br \/>\n    B Ministries and UCHG. After the meeting, Mr. Herbert and Gunnar wished to meet Wilson Chowdhry and Lord David Alton about coming up with an eminent<br \/>\n    solution to pressurize UNHCR so they expedite the cases.<\/p>\n<p> Please pray for the people as they bear witness of their faith among the non-believers.
