Visit Ryner Christopher
I would very much welcome a visit or letters from people throughout the world.
This would help me to maintain a positive outlook for the future. I am so lonely at
times even though I am surrounded by hundreds of prisoners. If you feel inclined
to write to me then I would be so grateful. Thank you to the Foreign Prisoner

Kay Danes Speaks Out For Hmong Refugee in Thailand
I am deeply concerned to read ongoing reports that describe, at best, serious violations of human rights committed by Thai authorities against Lao Hmong refugees at Nong Khai immigration detention centre.

This puts the Thai Authorities in direct violation of International Law.
