Free the Hmong in Thailand

The Issue

Currently there are a few thousand Hmong housed in camps (like prisoners) in Thailand. Many of these fought with the U.S govt during the Vietnam war. They are now being forced back to Laos where evidence shows they are being "retrained" - (tortured) or simply "disappear". We are asking that the Thai govt allow the UN teams to document those who fought with our CIA, hid in the jungles for many years, and now should have the right to be reconnected with their families in the U.S or at least allowed to live in some other country (many countries have offered!!) Please sign your name so our Congress and others will put STRONG pressure on the Thai govt to save these people.
