Thailand forcibly returned a group of Uyghurs to China.
As a longstanding ally of Thailand, we are alarmed by this action, which runs afoul of its international obligations.
The U.S. condemns this action. We urge the Thai government to ensure and verify that the Uyghurs are treated with dignity and that their rights are protected.
!!!!!!! Devastating Confirmed News!!!!!!
The Thai Prime Minister has effectively condemned 40 Uyghur refugees to grave danger by repatriating them to China, despite their long-standing ordeal of severe mistreatment in a Thai refugee center and the well-documented risk of torture and possible death upon their return. This act makes Thailand complicit in egregious human rights violations, and it must be held accountable for its role in perpetuating what amounts to an act of genocide. She is also individually responsible.
