Bailing Project - List # 1
Thailand has not signed the 1951 Refugee Convention and this International Covenant protocol. Therefore, the Thai government treats refugees like other foreigners who immigrate illegally or overstay in this country.
​
In August 2018, Thai police raided the Wat Sao Thong Hin area and arrested 133 adults and children (including 87 women, men and 46 children aged 1 to 16 years old).
​
133 Vietnamese refugees were detained in the IDC (Immigration Detention Center) because of their illegal status even though they have refugee status given by United Nations.
