webfact Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 No-passport Syrian arrested in Phuket TownEakkapop ThongtubAmar Sended, seated, with the officers who arrested him.PHUKET: -- A 26-year-old Syrian man was arrested yesterday afternoon (June 23) on Mae Luan Rd in Phuket Town when it was found he had no passport.Immigration officers were checking parts of the town when they spotted a man “looking suspicious”. They asked him for his passport. When he could not produce it, they took him to the Immigration Police office for questioning.The man told them his name was Amar Sended and admitted he had no passport. He was charged with entering and staying in the country illegally. He admitted both charges.Officers are pursuing a theory that Sended is wanted in his own country and came to Thailand to meet up with other members of a Syrian criminal gang. Meanwhile, he is being held in custody.Source: http://www.thephuketnews.com/no-passport-syrian-arrested-in-phuket-town-47032.php-- Phuket News 2014-06-25 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post chooka Posted June 25, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted June 25, 2014 love the smug look on him. "I told these clowns my name is Amar Sended, I don't have a passport and they bought it" Now it is out the front door and back through the rear door. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

asdecas Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 Shame on you for your idle bar lizard guessing games; the man is apparently Syrian so you could as well speculate that his wife and children were killed there, and that he fled that appalling conflict. You have no idea, and neither do I. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
technologybytes Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 As usual we are only getting half the story. I'd like to know what made the immigration police suspicious of him, you can't seriously think that it's his haircut. Also, if he admits not having a passport he must have a story about what happened to it. He's unlikey to have travelled far without one. Why do the police assume he's a criminal or connected with criminals, not having a passport is an offence but it does not make someone a criminal.

razer Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 Assuming nothing - Why did he come to Thailand if he is a refugee? If he is a refugee why didn't he apply for refugee status? Why did he choose to be smuggled over the border? How did he get here ... by a refugee boat? Gotta have a passport to get on an airplane. Very suspicious. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mango Bob Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 Instead of prison time just cut is hair. That will teach him to enter Thailand and stay illegally. Who the hell does he think he is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Docno Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 'Wanted in Syria' ... 'came to Thailand to meet up with a criminal gang'? I think there's enough going on in Syria at the moment that they're not so interested chasing down 'ordinary criminals' that have gone to other countries to carry out their business...

Stuart Lamb Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 Clearly there's something wrong if he's unable to produce his passport. I feel that it's more likely that he doesn't want to be identified....for whatever reason! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why did he choose to be smuggled over the border? How did he get here ... by a refugee boat? Gotta have a passport to get on an airplane. Very suspicious. He probably does have a passport, but is just saying he hasn't got one. He's also probably been working here illegally for a family member, to avoid the conflict in Syria, if in fact he is Syrian. His deportation might be interesting. I suppose he could claim refugee status, and I'm sure there must be some Human Rights Laws against deporting someone to a war zone, especially if they will be executed upon their return.

Maggusoil Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 I love these family photos. It look like a big dude who could kick the crap out of those others in the picture. Were he still with us, Bruce Lee would probably disagree. Also Sam Irwin, NRL half back for the Gold Coast Titans. All 5'7" of him. The larger they are, the harder they fall. Anyway, I think Amar's haircut is revealing, and not just his skull. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Croc Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 Perhaps he thought he was in Australia. No passport, false name. Life in detention here, until they find a way to kick him out, won't be quite as pleasant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoNavy Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 With the civil war happening in Syria, where would they send him? Prison in Thailand would be the only option. How do these folks get into the country without a passport? He must have come by canoe onto a beach or crossed through the mountains. But even then, luckily to have crossed through all those nations without one. Did he lose it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do the police assume he's a criminal or connected with criminals, not having a passport is an offence but it does not make someone a criminal. "I'd like to know what made the immigration police suspicious of him," That's one ability police are trained to have "Why do the police assume he's a criminal or connected with criminals..." Good intuition? Perhaps his passport story wasn't believable. "not having a passport is an offence but it does not make someone a criminal." Committing a crime (not having a passport is one) does make him a criminal. And seriously, that haircut combined with the goatee, and his attitude, tops all the above.
