There is a global refugee crisis. Thailand is not offering proportional asylum in comparison with European counterparts. We can't allow refugees who have risked their lives to escape horrendous conflict and violence to be left living in dire, unsafe and inhumane conditions in Thailand. We must help and they must accept their responsibility as a nation that has signed the UN Convention for Human Rights.

The constant arrest and incarceration of Pakistani Christians in Bangkok the larget of the asylum communities in the city is a blight on their international reputation. Many of these victims hold UN approved asylum seeker and refugee registrations. Thailand should be made to sign the UN Convention for Asylum and must adhere to their committments to the UN Convention for Rights of a child and stop arresting juveniles and their mothers.

If Thailand does not treat Pakistani Christian asylum seekers humanely, we in the west need to boycott Thai tourism.

I signed the petition to demand that the Thai government recognize the asylum seekers and stop deporting those who have legally reached refugee status while in Bangkok, Thailand!

Please, spare Pakistanis who have overstayed their visas in Thailand. It is plain that the Pakistani christian minority are being persecuted in their home country, and deporting them will certainly lead to more suffering for them.

Thailand freely signed the UN convention. Now it must live up to the obligations of that convention by treating refugees humanely, not as common criminals.

It is just wrong, cruel to send them back to Pakistan. I live in the UK. Why will the UK government not offer them all a home. I would be happy to have them as my neighbors.
