Laos: Minority Hmong may be held at abusive detention centre, rights
watchdog says

Authorities in Laos are locking up ethnic minority Hmong along with
other "undesirables" in a detention centre where people face brutal
beatings if they try to escape, according to a leading human rights
group.

Human Rights Watch claims Lao officials use the Somsanga Treatment and
Rehabilitation Centre in Vientiane as a "dumping ground" for those
seen as socially undesirable. Along with perceived drug users, people
with mental disabilities, thieves, homeless people and beggars,
authorities have jailed ethnic Hmong at the facility, according to
HRW.

In a report released October 11, HRW says there is evidence Hmong are
being detained at the "bleak and abusive detention facility", which is
targeted toward perceived drug users. People formerly held in Somsanga
told HRW researchers they saw Hmong people detained, even though they
did not appear to be drug users.

The Hmong minority group has faced persecution in Laos after members
of the community backed the United States' anti-communist operations
in the region in the 1960s and 1970s.

HRW says it does not have enough information to determine if the Hmong
held at Somsanga were detained specifically because of their
ethnicity. Instead, it wants Lao authorities to investigate its
allegations of arbitrary detention and abuse at the centre.

"It's not clear why ethnic Hmong are being held at Somsanga," said Joe
Amon, the group's director of health and human rights. "They may be
there as opium users, or there may be other reasons. There's no due
process for anyone before being detained in Somsanga and the
authorities use the centre as a dumping ground for all sorts of people
they consider undesirable."

Though Somsanga is nominally a facility for the treatment of drug
users, Amon says people held there receive little, if any, effective
addictions treatment.

"At the centre, people are held all day long. They're not provided any
treatment. They're not provided much food," Amon said. "They're behind
locked doors, high walls, barbed wire fences. This is not a treatment
centre."

HRW is demanding that authorities shut down the centre. It also wants
international groups and donors involved in funding programmes at the
centre--a list that includes the United Nations Office on Drugs and
Crime and the German Development Agency--to investigate human rights
violations in Somsanga, as well as their own support for the facility.

PDR. Classes in drug use and courses such as vocational training may
be beneficial for some people trying to overcome drug dependency, but
there is no rationale for premising such services on months or years
of involuntary detention.
