We are pleased to announce the relaunch of our China Dissent Monitor!
Though we are excited, the project's funding remains limited—we urgently need more support to sustain our team's efforts to track public protest under one of the world's most repressive regimes.
Here's how you can help: https://t.co/YjtMQaQRse
As we continue to monitor the wellbeing of the 48 Uyghur men held in Thailand awaiting their possible deportation to China, we welcome the National Human Rights Commission of Thailand’s statement reiterating the country’s intl obligations, including reaffirming the principle of non-refoulement.
We again call on Thai authorities to provide those detained with adequate medical and psychological care while working toward their safe resettlement to a third country.
We are concerned about the health and wellbeing of the 48 Uyghurs detained in Thailand as many enter a third week of hunger strike to protest their possible forced return to China.
We once again call for Thai authorities to halt any plans for deportation and provide these men with adequate medical and psychological care while coordinating their resettlement to a safe third country.
We remain deeply concerned about the potentially imminent deportation of 48 Uyghur men held in Thailand to China.
These men, who have been on a hunger strike for the past two weeks, would face imprisonment and further human rights abuses upon their return, prompting @UNHumanRights to urge Thai authorities to halt their deportation.
We echo these concerns and call on Thailand to provide those detained with adequate medical and psychological care while facilitating their safe resettlement to a third country.
