Can anyone confirm this?

I have just learned that the Hmong leader, Moua Toua Ter, pictured here, who I photographed ten years ago, is in the Bangkok Thai Immigration Jail and is expected to be handed over to Lao Authorities tomorrow (25th March 2013) where his future will undoubtedly be jail or worse. I’m not sure what, if anything, can be done to postpone this action long enough for him to have an audience with the UNHCR but if anyone reading this can help in any way you would be helping to save this man’s life.

From the CBC’s Fifth Estate, Canada’s recent history of political repression under the guise of “security” – Canadian Government’s Secret Plan To Lock Up Thousands of Canadians> bit.ly. Watch Part 1> bit.ly, Watch Part 2> bit.ly, Watch Part 3> bit.ly. CBC’s The Fifth Estate: ‘Enemies of the State’ – Synopsis> bit.ly <“It seems hard to imagine today that a Canadian government would approve a plan to round up thousands of law-abiding Canadians and lock them away simply because they were perceived to be a threat to Canadian democracy. Conceived in the early days of the Cold War, the top-secret plan called “Profunc” was to be enacted if Canadian national security was threatened. The fear was stoked by the outbreak of the Korean War, which looked as if it might become the precursor to WW3. In Canada, the head of the RCMP drew up a plan to lock up “Prominent Functionaries,” including known communists and other people deemed to be subversives. The plan is breathtaking in its scale and detail.

It listed those who were to be arrested, where they would be interned and how they were to be treated. Families of targeted people were not spared: many wives and children were to be locked away as well. Incredibly, The Profunc blueprint remained in place until the 1980s. Only today are some people learning for the first time that they and their families were deemed Enemies of the State. The names of those people will astonish most Canadians. “Enemies of the State’ also explores the targeting of possible ‘subversives’ today and asks what kinds of lists might exist that the Canadian public doesn’t know about.” – See more at: www.cbc.ca. CBC ‘How you can find out if you were in the Profunc files’> bit.ly.

Historian uncovers secret Canadian prison camps – “The federal government had detailed lists of political activists and subversives it planned to arrest in the aftermath of a nuclear war or other national emergency, keeping such plans on the books until at least the early 1980s, according to new records obtained by an Ottawa historian. The Canadian military was given the job of transporting the prisoners to camps but the RCMP was the main organization in charge of rounding up political prisoners and organizing the program.”> bit.ly. Secret internment plan included Toronto landmark> bit.ly. PROFUNC Revealed: Canadian state planned arrest of over 66,000> bit.ly. 66,000 number cited, read page 78:> bit.ly.

Sad! Do you think the Viet government would pursue an investigation on the death of these boys?

5 HMONG STUDENTS FOUND DEAD IN SOUTH OF VIETNAM. – Dak Lak, Vietnam – 5 Hmong students found buried in sand in the Krong Bong river, Dak Lak province. On Thursday 13, this afternoon, a fisherman from Cu Dram village went to fishing at Krong Bong river, and he discovered a pair of pants, 4 shoes and hands of deceased buried in sand at the riverside. He then reported to local authority for excavating the site. After authorities dig about 50 cm from the layer of sand, they found 5 death bodies, who are Hmong students from the areas. The subjects started rotting and smelly. These students have been missing since Monday, according to Hmong Public’s news contributor in Vietnam. Mr. Tran Quoc, head of Education Office in Krong Bong district, said that these 5 students did not come to class since Monday. Also, the school had sent notices about their unexplained disappearance to the Department of Education is Krong Bong district.

Currently, authorities are conducting autopsies to investigate the causes of death. However, our news contributor said that these victims are Hmong-Christians, 4 victims are from PaoChoua village and 1 victim is from Ea Ba village in the CuDram area, Krong Bong district, Dak Lak province. All the victims are boys and the subjects were identified as 1: Hung Lee (Hooj Lis) 18 year old, 2: Bang Yang (Peev Yaj) 18 year old, 3: Bing Moua (Peej Muas) 19 year old, 4: Vinh Vang (Vee Vaj) 17 year old, 5: Fong Lee (Foom Lis) 13 year old. All these Hmong students are in classes from 7th grade to 12th grade, according to Hmong Public’s news contributor in Vietnam. The victims died at least 4 days ago and no one knows the cause of death is because of religious or racial discrimination, everything is under investigation by authorities, the source told Hmong Public. Vietnam local news reported that each family of the deceased will receive 2 million Dong (about $95) from the local government.

Lee Lor - it has to do with religious discrimination or ethnic discrimination.

Rose Clayborne - That’s what I think too. If it’s either one of those then I don’t think the Viet government is gonna do anything about it.

Nouchia Moua - How terrible! The poor families losing their boys! Money from the government won’t take away the pain of their loss. If this is ruled as homicide, I hope that whoever did this to them will have karma biting them in the rear soon enough!
