Boat people too have rights |
2015-05-28 |
Oh wait! Those are the wrong 'boat people' ! Few issues expose the hollowness of the global rhetoric about human rights to a greater extent than the lack of understanding shown for homeless/stateless refugees and poor men and women seeking escape from persecution, hunger, and a life without hope. The discovery of mass graves in Malaysia and Thailand at sites of camps operated by gangs of traffickers has added an utterly grisly chapter to the migrants’ tale of unimaginable suffering. Evidence already available suggests that some of the migrants were tortured and killed by their handlers. |
