Following the extradition of 40 Uyghur men in February, the Thai government continues to flout international human rights standards by sending yet another individual back to a country where they will likely face torture or death.

Thai authorities have extradited Vietnamese activist Y Quynh Bdap after the Court of Appeal upheld the extradition order, despite warnings by human rights groups that he could face torture in Vietnam.

WPC welcomes the NHRCT investigation & publication of their findings which confirm of what we’ve known: the Thai govt violated int’l human rights law & the principle of refoulement in forcibly deporting the men, who have not been heard from since.

@WildPigeonOrg requested UN Human Rights experts help to locate 40 #Uyghur men refouled to China in February.
In May, comms to #China & Thailand were sent.
Thus far China has responded & Thailand acknowledged receipt.

Amnesty UK has been concerned by the transnational repression of rights defenders and China's minority groups https://t.co/TGQKPxwZDe

So thankful for the continued engagement on the Thai Uyghur cases from @SenJeffMerkley & his team.
Our team @WildPigeonOrg continues to advocate both to prevent further deportations, & to gain information on the whereabouts on the 40 men in China

It's also worth reminding that while the case of the #Uyghurs in Thailand was the kickoff for this type of legislation, it's importance is truly global as our team receives an influx of cases of vulnerable individuals around the world.

The @WildPigeonOrg is grateful to @SenJeffMerkley & staff, as well as Sen. @JohnCornyn for their continued support for accountability regarding the deportation of 40 #Uyghur men from Thailand.
Strategy & accountability on these cases is critical.
