Petition against the Hmong Genocide

To the attention of the French government, ANAI(ANIA), the U.S government, the Amnesty International, and the U.N. 

Since 1975 the tens of thousands remaining Hmong people who could not flee to safety to Thailand, France, the U.S or elsewhere in the world are being mercilessly hunted down and killed like animals in the jungles of Laos by the communist Laos government, paying the ultimate price with their very lives for their allegiance to France and the U.S.
Abandoned to a morbid fate, the men, to defend their families at any cost, are equipped with obsolete rifles dated from the Vietnam war era. Divided in small groups, they are constantly on the move from fear of being located, and feed mainly on roots and tree barks. Since the televised reports made by Grégoire Deniau, Cyril Payen and Roger Arnold in 2005 and 2006, the situation has only worsened due to a lack of international interest and of media coverage. Currently, the number of the survivors has considerably been reduced to approximately 7,000 to 8,000.
Ironically, the elders still believe that their war-veteran allies from as distant as the Indochina era will come back to their rescue and that the CIA will eventually honor their initial promises. As we speak, they are still standing, but for how much longer? In the camps, the situation is no different. There, the Hmong captives live in horrendous conditions in open-sky prison cells and are perpetually subjected to forced repatriation back to Laos at any given moment. 

This petition, despite the misinformation and the absolute silence from the international committees, represents the umpteenth of its sort; however, we will not abandon the ones left behind that certain groups conveniently label as traitors and terrorists to justify their actions. In deference to the moral compass of human virtue, the Hmong people who had fought valiantly and loyally for France and the U.S should not and must not be forgotten.

For that matter, we request the following for the Hmong in the Thai and Laos camps:
- That France, the U.S and the U.N assume their responsibilities.
- That the Thai and Laos government cease to consider them as illegal immigrants of economical 
aspirations and/or prisoners of wars subjected to imprisonment.
- That the refugees acquire the status of political refugees and are placed under the equitable and impartial protection of the U.N.
- That clothing, food and medical provisions be allocated to the Hmong in the camps.

In addition, we also request the following to ensure of the survival of the Hmong in the Jungle:
- That France, the U.S and the U.N assume their responsibilities.
- That clothing, food and medical provisions be allocated to the Hmong in the jungle.
- That international pressure be asserted to the Laos government for a complete cease-fire.
- That an armistice be obtained to guarantee their safety once out of the jungle.

To this day the Hmong people are still victims of past wars, and the proceeding of their extradition in other belligerent countries without "total security" will be a direct attempt at their human rights and lives. The war has "officially" ended decades ago and should be imperatively regarded in that respect in all sense of the word.
