U.N. experts urge Thailand to halt deportation of Uyghurs amid concerns of torture and human rights abuses in China

ai generated text

The United Nations has expressed concern over the potential deportation of 47 Uyghur individuals to China, citing the risk of torture and irreparable harm. Chinese authorities have been accused of waging a "war on terror" against the Uyghurs since 2017, resulting in the detention of dozens of men for over a decade.

    1. It is essential they be provided with the necessary and appropriate medical care.
    2. We call for a prompt, effective investigation, and assessment of all the circumstances of the arrest and continued deprivation of liberty of this group of persons.
    3. The prohibition on refoulement prohibits the return or transfer in any manner whatsoever to a country where there is real risk of torture or other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment.
    4. We are informed that 23 of the 48 individuals suffer from serious health conditions, including diabetes, kidney dysfunction, paralysis of the lower body, skin diseases, gastrointestinal illnesses, and heart and lung conditions.

    1. Thailand is actually a very strong US partner, strong historical ally as well.
    2. I think diplomacy could really achieve results because of how important that relationship is and how close it is.

    Human Rights Watch
    1. Successive Thai governments have kept the Uyghurs in inhumane detention, while under pressure from the Chinese government to send them to China.
    2. The current administration of Thai Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra can end this abusive cycle by immediately releasing the detained Uyghurs and allowing them to travel to a safe third country.
