The majority of those arrested were the ignored Pak-Christian asylum seeker community, two Somali families and one Afghan family.<\/span>\n        <\/div>\n<p>        <\/span>\n<\/div>\n<p> At 10 am on 10th September 2015, immigration officers visited Delight Condos in Pracha Uthit, Soi 75 accompanied by a mass of police officers and the<br \/>\nmilitary forces of Thailand. &nbsp;Security forces have been clamping down on illegal immigration since the recent bomb blast in Bangkok&#8217;s centre at the<br \/>\nErawan Hindu shrine, one of Thailand&#8217;s most famous and popular tourist locations.<\/p>\n<p> Over 100 asylum seekers from many nations were questioned by the police including 91 Pakistani Christians who were taken to Immigration Detention Centre,<br \/>\nin the capital. &nbsp; The Thailand United Nations Commission for Human Rights (UNHCR) negotiated the release of 31 Pakistani Christian asylum seekers<br \/>\nwith &#8216;special concerns&#8217;. &nbsp;The special terms included vulnerable women who were pregnant and their children, and the elderly. &nbsp;This current negotiation<br \/>\nis quite a precedent by the UNHCR and the Thai Government and it is hoped that this might be the beginning of new leniency. &nbsp; The negotiated release<br \/>\nfollows the submission of a report on the scandal of the UNHCR with Pak-Christians that was delivered in by our Chairman Wilson Chowdhry in person to Senior<br \/>\nProtection Officer at the UNHCR Peter Trotter, in Bangkok on Tuesday 9th September 2015. &nbsp;The report was commissioned by the BPCA, and authored by<br \/>\ngenocide scholar and former Senior lecturer at &nbsp;De Montford University Desmond Fernandes, contained details of the insouciance towards asylum seekers<br \/>\nin Thailand by the UNHCR and highlighted that although the Thai Government had not signed UN Conventions on Asylum &#8211; nether the 1951 or 1967 versions &#8211;<br \/>\nthey had signed the following conventions, which meant the UN had a significant responsibility to ensure adherence to:&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p> &#8211; Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) (December 10, 1948)<br \/>\n<br \/> &#8211; International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) (October 29, 1996)priam<br \/>\n<br \/> &#8211; Convention against Torture and Other Cruel Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or&nbsp;Punishment (October 2, 2007)<br \/>\n<br \/> &#8211; Convention for the Protection of All Persons from Enforced Disappearance&nbsp;(January 9, 2012)<br \/>\n<br \/> &#8211; Convention on the Rights of the Child (March 27, 1992).<\/p>\n<p> The report primarily focuses on the rights of Pak-Christian asylum seekers who make up the largest body of asylum seekers in Thailand, reported to be<br \/>\naround 4600 by the UN but German NGO International Society for Human Rights placed the figure much higher at 8000. &nbsp;The report highlights the delay<br \/>\nin Resettlement Status Determinations (RSD) for which an interview can take up to&nbsp;4 years, leaving victims easily deportable, from here refugee status<br \/>\ncan take a further 4 years and resettlement a similar period. &nbsp;The UN documents have no worth in Thailand and arrests are indiscriminate of those<br \/>\nwith or without them. &nbsp;The report describes the&nbsp;scandalous overcrowding in Thailand&#8217;s Detention centre; the disturbing failure to process asylum<br \/>\napplications with many delayed until 2018; poor levels of resources and personnel for the UNHCR; failure to provide or permit legal representation for<br \/>\ndetainees; failure to protect women and children; inadequate and flawed translation provision often by Muslims to Christians who believe they have a biased<br \/>\nagenda; the denial of education for children and young people; meagre health care, leading to deteriorating conditions and deaths of refugees while detained<br \/>\nand soon after release; and dismissal of evidence detailing an escalation in violence against the tiny Christian minority and the well founded fear of<br \/>\nlethal persecution.<\/p>\n<p> Despite the report the UNHCR believes the main failing is with the Thai Government, a spokesperson said:<\/p>\n<p> <span style=\"color: #0070c0;\">&#8220;in my view, a primary focus of advocacy efforts should be the main source of the challenge, namely the RTG (Royal Thai Government) and the absence of a legal framework for addressing the needs of persons of seeking international protection.<\/span><\/p>\n<p> The BPCA is calling for the UNHCR to pursue better rights for Pak-Christian asylum seekers by calling for a reassessment of the current risk profiling.<br \/>\n&nbsp;The UNHCR cites Britain&#8217;s&nbsp;&nbsp;Home Office policy statement (Feb 2013) that Pakistani Christians don&#8217;t suffer persecution, in which Theresa<br \/>\nMay summarises the policy as such <span style=\"color: #0070c0;\">&#8220;Christians in Pakistan are a religious minority who, in general, suffer discrimination but this is not sufficient to amount to a real risk of persecution.&#8221;<br \/> <\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 11pt; font-family: calibri, sans-serif; color: #1f497d;\"><\/span><br \/>\n    <br \/> The UNHCR does not need to follow any particular country for their assessments and we call on them to review the positions of countries such as Holland<br \/>\n    and Canada who have both adopted &#8220;High Risk&#8221; status for Pak-Christians. &nbsp;The BPCA is also launching a&nbsp;campaign to improve the current misinformed<br \/>\n    position held by Britain. &nbsp;Lord Alton at a meeting with Wilson Chowdhry in Bangkok on Tuesday said:<br \/>\n    <br \/> <span style=\"line-height: 19.32px; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\"><br \/> <span style=\"color: #0070c0;\">&#8220;The exodus from Pakistan is driven by visceral hatred and a fanatical disregard for the rights of minorities. In a country where the brave Minister for Minorities, Shahbaz Bhatti, can be murdered in broad daylight, where churches are bombed, where an illiterate woman can be sentenced to death for alleged blasphemy charges, where a husband and wife can be burnt alive in front of their young children, and where there is a culture of impunity which rarely leads to those responsible being brought to justice, it is little wonder that many Christians are fleeing for their lives. It doubly compounds their suffering when the international community fails to step up to the plate in defence of those who have to endure such pitiless suffering and hardship.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p> BPCA has set up a fund for the release of Pak-Christians asylum seekers, for whom it will cost 50,000 baht (\u00a31000) to release on bail. Once released<br \/>\n    on bail families have a two year protection from re-arrest and we hope and pray that many of you will help us to deliver them from the awful conditions<br \/>\n    in the IDC. &nbsp;Lord Alton visited the Thailand Immigration Detention Centre following a conversation with the chairman of the BPCA in June. &nbsp;During<br \/>\n    his visit to Thailand he noticed the despicable conditions of asylum seekers caged within the undersized and over capacitated cells in which refugees<br \/>\n    numbering in their hundreds are forced to sleep crouching, standing up, laying over one another and have to organise themselves into sleeping in shifts.<br \/>\n    &nbsp;Food consists of boiled cucumber and rice in small proportions and all inmates look presentably emaciated. Toilets are flooded and overflowing,<br \/>\n    are too few for the number of detainees and create a rancid stench that is overpowering. &nbsp;We also hope to be able to support these families by<br \/>\n    providing rent and subsidence grants.<\/p>\n<p> Wilson Chowdhry of the BPCA said:<\/p>\n<p> <span style=\"color: #0070c0;\"> &#8220;Pakistani Christians are the most ignored persecuted minority globally, despite the copious amount of evidence pertaining to the ever-present danger of persecution they face. &nbsp;Britain and America hold disingenuous positions with regards to asylum for Christians from Pakistan, based on protection of their existing economic ties through trade agreement and their desire to continue ally status in the war against terror. &nbsp;This is unhealthy and limits the desire for change in the corrupt nation of Pakistan, which has become a birthing ground for extremists and has now resulted in UNHCR misinformation, allowing millions to continue suffering and thousands who escaped violence to become repersecuted. Unchallenged the existing protocols will mean many will continue to live in terror or die in despicable circumstances. The UNHCR must simply undertake more research on the quality of life for Pakistani Christians, perhaps in the form of an officer living with a Christian family to understand the real implications of religious intolerance in Pakistan.&#8221;<br \/> <\/span><br \/>\n    <br \/> <span style=\"font-weight: bold;
