This is an update to the Jan. 1 article Five Falun Gong Still Detained in Thailand; Legality of Arrests in Doubt.

BANGKOK – Five Falun Gong refugees to Thailand remain detained at the Immigration Detention Center (IDC) in Bangkok, over two weeks after being arrested across from the Chinese Embassy for peacefully protesting the state persecution of Falun Gong adherents in China. Their arrests contravene basic human rights and the Thai constitution, and were conducted at the behest of the Chinese Embassy, say supporters of the detainees.
