Of the 15 'escapees', how many had been been granted refugee status, how many were being considered for refugee status, and how many had therefore been denied refugee status. Of those denied refugee status, what were the reasons given for these decisions?

Anyone know how long these people have been locked up?

Does anyone know what crimes they will commit after they are released? Why did they come here? Why not go to malaysia, a muslim country? If they expect civil liberties here, they have made a grave error. Even Thai nationals cannot say out loud what they think. Religion of evil should go where they can only hurt each other. Islamic countries. Jing jing.

A grave error indeed!
