The 152 refugees set out from the Noh Po refugee camp office on August 17th 2000, under supervision of the Thai Army. Foreign relief organizations had issued each of them some supplies and a thin plastic sheet to protect them from the rain. [Photos: KHRG researcher]
Photos this page and next: The repatriation march. People were carrying whatever they could, there were many small children who often needed to rest, and the paths were slippery, dangerous, muddy or washed out, so going was very slow. As can be seen in the photos, some of the Thai soldiers sympathized with the refugees. [Photos: KHRG researcher]
