The
work of Human Rights First in Southeast Asia was driven by our
investigation of the human rights situation in Cambodia six years
after the fall of Pol-Pot’s regime. In investigating the human
rights violations suffered at the hands of the Vietnamese support
regime of Heng Samrin, Human Rights First heard numerous reports
of mistreatment of Cambodians who had sought refuge in Thailand.
Between 1985 and 1987, Human Rights First investigated the situation
of over a quarter of a million Cambodians displaced to Thailand.
The report found that refugees were vulnerable to attack by Thai
security forces, cross-border attacks by Cambodian bandits and intimidation
by Khmer Rouge fighters in the camps. These investigations culminated
the publication of a report entitled Seeking Shelter: Cambodians
in Thailand.
