    La Thaïlande est un refuge peu fiable pour les dissédents étrangers. Le dernier cas concerne un suédois aux origines chinoises. Dans le passé il y a eu d’autres cas de ressortissants de plusieurs nations qui n’ont pas trouvé dans le pays la protection qu’ils espéraient.

    The daughter of a Hong Kong bookseller believed to have been abducted last year in Thailand by Chinese security agents has accused China of carrying out “illegal operations” beyond its own borders and urged the international community to confront Beijing over her father’s disappearance.

    Gui Minhai, a Swedish citizen who ran a publishing house in the former British colony specialising in risque books about China’s political elite, vanished from his beachfront home in the Thai town of Pattaya last October.

    Three months later the 51-year-old publisher suddenly reappeared in the custody of security officials in mainland China, promoting claims Beijing had snatched him, in violation of international law, in order to silence criticism of the Communist party leadership.
