The Bangkok-based People’s Empowerment Foundation said the action violated universal human rights principles and Thailand’s own policy because the men were likely to be in danger as a result of their activities fighting against Myanmar's government.
Myanmar’s independent media, which operate underground and in exile, reported that the three men were members of a resistance group called the Lion Battalion Commando and crossed into Thailand last month to have at least one of them treated for injuries. The reports said the men were sent on a boat across the Moei River, which marks the border. They jumped out to try to escape but were shot and wounded and then captured by Myanmar's Border Guard Force, which is composed of ethnic minority militias allied with the military government.
According to the document, the three men were arrested at a checkpoint, had no passports or any identification documents and were charged with illegal entry. It said the three told authorities they had entered Thailand to attend the funeral of the mother of a friend.
