EXTENSION OF FUNDRAISER TO FREE RENE FROM INDEFINITE DETENTION TO NOVEMBER 15

Update posted by Karine POUGET

Merci à vous ! Les démarches pour sortir René de cette terrible situation ont enfin commencé grâce à vous tous. Cependant nous n'avons pas encore réuni suffisamment d'argent pour régler le billet d'avion... René est donc contraint de rester au centre de detention pour une durée indéterminée. Lors de notre visite ce matin il semblait abattu, et commence à perdre espoir. Ensemble nous pouvons l'aider. Merci pour lui, nous avons besoin de vous pour réunir la somme nécessaire à régler son billet d'avion et lui offrir un avenir.

Thank you to those who have already contributed to help get Rene out of indefinite detention in Thailand's IDC purgatory. We have already started the process by paying the administrative fees for his travel papers. However, we still do not have enough money to buy a plane ticket and send him home; we're close, but not there yet. We visited him today to deliver some food and hygiene products, but unfortunately he did not get the news he was hoping for: Going back home. Rene has been in indefinite detention for more than a year. He may have made a mistake by overstaying his visa in Thailand, but paying for it with a life in detention with no end insight is inhumane. Once we have enough for the plane ticket, we will be able to send him home within a matter of days. Your help is essential. All we need now is the plane ticket.
