中国追捕异议人士，泰国庇护政策受关注
人权组织和救援难民的公民社会团体说，泰国针对寻求庇护者和难民的政策近年来变得日益严厉，加紧实施逮捕和驱逐行动，这种情况在2014年军方夺权之前就已存在。
泰国对中国寻求庇护者和其他异议人士的立场变得更加严厉，使人权组织感到不安。他们指出，北京正在加强对泰国有关寻求庇护者和难民的政策施加影响。
难民们一般是持旅游签证入境，希望得到正式庇护，他们通常是为了逃离迫害，或因自己属于少数群体而心怀恐惧，来自南亚国家的庇护寻求者尤其如此。

Nigeria Defense Minister: Military Made Gains Against Boko Haram
Nigeria’s defense minister said the military under President Muhammadu Buhari has made enormous gains in the fight against Boko Haram.
Retired General Dan Ali said Wednesday the military has reclaimed much of the land once occupied by the terrorist group and that Boko Haram has been reduced to waging mostly guerrilla warfare.
Ali said the military should be able to clear the terrorists out of the Sambisa Forest within two or three months.
Shortly after President Buhari was inaugurated as president in May 2015, he confidently declared that Boko Haram would be defeated by the end of the year. Before 2015 was over, Buhari announced that he had succeeded in his pledge, claiming that Boko Haram is now "technically defeated".
