Subject: [SAMRAINSYPARTY-For] Report of <visit to Mr. Khut Kong Kea
Dear colleagues and friends,
Kindly find the following report concerning Mr. Kong Kea and his family, I had
a chance to pay a visit to on 3July.
Mr. Kong Kea´s physical condition:
The stroke he suffered 5 days ago has affected the functioning of his brain. He
is not able to control the movement of his eyes and other parts of his body. He
is practically unconscious. His lungs are also affected by infections.
Doctors give little sign of hope but would not say exactly how he would come
out of it.
The family can visit him twice a day and they bring flowers and pray together.
The hospital cost has been covered with generous contributions they have
received and the TV reporting on Channel 7 generated some support. It was
thanks to the coverage on Channel 7 that he was brought up to this ward where
he is carefully looked after and is in a private room. Previously he was left
to die, for over 20 days because the family could not pay for a drug that costs
over 100,000 bahts.
When I was there, an officer from the >Public >Health Ministry came to help
settle the hospital cost because the government is concerned about bad
publicity now that the public is aware of his case.
I am in contact with higher government officials and contact to him has been
made.
UNHCR
We will try our best to request UNHCR to re-open his case on two points:
political and humanitarian reasons.
In the meantime, we will look for a third country.
I am meeting with lawyers and other influential officials today to ensure the
security of the family and a better living environment.
The family situation
Mr. Kong Kea was the main breadwinner through garbage collection, while his 7
children and wife recycled and sold for 200 or 300 bahts a day. <his older
son goes out to the nearby pagoda to ask for alms with the monks, and bring
their daily meals home. He is an incredible young man, with a lot of pride and
love for his family. he begs us to consider his family not out of charity but
for the honor of his father.
All for now and with best wishes to all,
Sochua
Besides your generous contributions, please help send letters of support to
Boran.
