Laos activist feared missing in Thailand: rights groups
A Laos activist is feared missing in Thailand, rights groups said yesterday, calling for an urgent investigation into his whereabouts after a rash of similar disappearances of dissidents in Southeast Asia.
Pro-democracy campaigner Od Sayavong was last seen nearly two weeks ago in Bangkok, where he had been living as he sought resettlement to a third country by the UN refugee agency, right groups said.
He had been registered as a “person of concern” by the UNHCR in 2017 because of activism focused on Laos, a one-party communist state with little tolerance for dissent.
