Thailand urged not to deport 48 Uyghurs to China
A human rights group has urged Thailand not to deport to China 48 Uyghurs who have languished for more than a decade in detention, saying their safety and human rights must be the priority. The Uyghur men have been held at Thailand’s Immigration Detention Center since 2014, after attempting to escape persecution in China through Thailand. The rights group Justice for All said recent reports from the detained Uyghurs indicated that Thai authorities were coercing them to fill out forms in preparation for their deportation.
