Nguyen Chinh Ket: On November 24, 2011, Mr. Pham Ba
Hai wrote a petition to the Department of State of America, Unite Nations High
Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) to ask these highest power bodies to
re-consider for humanitarian resettlement for the boat people who were forcibly
repatriated before and are now living under the communist dictatorship. Mr. Hai
is well aware and very restless about the very difficult life conditions at
present of the persons who had fled from the country by sea or land but were
forcibly sent back to Vietnam after they had come to the second countries.
After their return to Vietnam, they were treated by Vietnamese Authorities as
criminals, illegal fleeing guilt, and guilt of not accepting the communist
regime and of course they were doubted by Vietnamese Communist and classified
as second class citizens. So today, we ask Mr. Hai to present the
above-mentioned petition, especially the current life situation of the forcibly
repatriated boat people continuing living under the communist dictatorship.
First, please say a few words to the audience of Radio of Saigon Network.
Pham Ba Hai: I, am Pham Ba Hai from Saigon, would send my
greetings to the audience of Radio of Saigon Network and Professor Nguyen Chinh
Ket.
