Dogmatix Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 You would think basic rights would include given citizenship to stateless minorities but there are still a few hundred thousand being stonewalled by arrogant, racist district officers. They are not allowed to travel outside their districts and don't have access to employment, healthcare or education. This is a human rights issue that could be solved by Srettha with a few strokes of his pen but guaranteed nothing will happen - just the usual racist BS from officials about serious security concerns. Many of the people are indistinguishable from other Thais. I have seen them at the Interior Ministry waiting for interviews. They had Thai names and spoke Thai amongst themselves. What is the point of making it so hard for them? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
