Chinese dissidents in Thailand: Living in constant fear

Chinese dissidents in Thailand: Living in constant fear
An insight into the fearful, desperate lives of Thailand's small but growing community of asylum seekers from China.

by Lynn Lee

BANGKOK: -- You're always looking over your shoulder, always wondering if someone's following you.

Those people in the hotel lobby, the Chinese men with dark glasses. Why do they look so familiar? Were they also in the park the other day?

That couple on the train. Why won't they stop staring? Oh, they're looking at the map behind us.

Should we take another route home? Change hotels? Have coffee in a different cafe?

You're always slightly paranoid, always mindful that you should lower your voice in public, always wondering if you're going a little mad.

Some knock off Chinese amulets may be just the protection they need.

What's that all about???

Who is the problem and why are the supposed dissidents dreaming??

The way Thailand is going at the moment under the Junta , you may not have to be a Chinese Dissident to be living in constant fear , the versatile Section 44 should make everyone a-where that there lot may not be a secure lot......................................coffee1.gif .

The Chinese Government will do anything to stop descent , even going abroad to kidnap them and forcibly take them back to China , their theory is that if a few do this then the whole country might leave for a better future, the dissidents are referring to secret agents from China..

Please do us all a favour and go to live in Turkey.
