Thailand Deports 48 Uighurs to Xinjiang, European Parliament Condemns Action with 482 Votes

Thailand has deported at least 48 Uighurs to China's Xinjiang region, despite strong objections from activists and human rights groups. These groups have warned that the deportees face risks of torture, ill-treatment, and severe harm upon their return. The European Parliament has condemned this action, passing a resolution with 482 votes that urges Thailand to cease forced deportations to countries where individuals may face life-threatening risks. The resolution highlights the need for the People's Republic of China (PRC) to respect the fundamental rights of these individuals. A statement from the European Parliament emphasized the urgency of addressing these human rights concerns, reflecting the international community's growing alarm over the treatment of Uighurs in China.
