Also Radio Free Asia Saksith Saiyasombut This is heartbreaking and infuriating - and incredibly shortsighted and narrow-minded. (1/3) The federal grants that fund Radio Free Asia and partner networks were terminated Saturday morning, according to a grant termination notice received by RFA. Jonathan Head Agree wholeheartedly. A terrible move which damages the flow of information in this region, damages US standing, and hands the floor for media influence to China - surely not something @SecRubio wants to see? https://x.com/RadioFreeAsia/status/1901052767080157640

U.S. Visa Sanctions Target Thai Officials Over Uyghur Deportation
anchadian replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Response to the recent policy announcement by the U.S. Department of State on 14 March 2025 1. The Thai Government notes the policy announced by the U.S. Department of State on 14 March 2025 and in this regard, the Thai Government has received assurances from the Government of China concerning the safety of the Uyghurs and will continue to follow up on the well-being of this group. The Thai Government has also clarified this matter with countries that have concerns on many occasions. Thailand has always upheld a long tradition of humanitarianism, particularly in providing assistance to displaced persons from various countries for more than half a century and will continue to do so. 2. Thailand has always and will continue to value the long-standing and close treaty alliance with the United States, based on mutual respect and shared strategic interests both at the bilateral and regional levels. https://www.mfa.go.th/en/content/response-to-us-announcement-2 -
U.S. Visa Sanctions Target Thai Officials Over Uyghur Deportation
anchadian replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
US-based Freedom House downgraded the level of freedom in #Thailand from partially free to "not free" in its latest report. The dissolution of Move Forward Party & the deportation of 40 #Uyghurs were among reasons cited. It now joins #China & North Korea. https://x.com/KhaosodEnglish/status/1900822305900818668 -
European Parliament Condemns Thailand's Uyghur Deportations
anchadian replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Jonathan Head An extraordinary move by the US against a long-standing treaty ally, despite Thailand’s clear drift into China’s orbit. No names mentioned, no specific sanctions but the buck surely stops with PM Paetongtarn, who chairs NSC which made the deportation call. https://x.com/pakhead/status/1900771647080329491 -

Followed closely by the US Government: Announcement of a Visa Restriction Policy to Address the Forced Return of Uyghurs and Members of Other Ethnic or Religious Groups with Protection Concerns to China Press Statement Marco Rubio, Secretary of State March 14, 2025 Today, I am announcing a new visa restriction policy that will apply to current or former foreign government officials responsible for, or complicit in, the forced return of Uyghurs or members of other ethnic or religious groups with protection concerns to China. We are committed to combating China’s efforts to pressure governments to forcibly return Uyghurs and other groups to China, where they are subject to torture and enforced disappearances. I am immediately implementing this policy by taking steps to impose visa restrictions on current and former officials from the Government of Thailand responsible for, or complicit in, the forced return of 40 Uyghurs from Thailand on February 27 https://www.state.gov/announcement-of-a-visa-restriction-policy-to-address-the-forced-return-of-uyghurs-and-members-of-other-ethnic-or-religious-groups-with-protection-concerns-to-china/ I reckon this affects at the very least the Thai National Security Council that decided to deport the Uyghurs, incl. the PM, the army chief and ministers of Defense, Foreign Affairs, Interior, Justice. In similar sanctions against other countries, it also incl. their families. https://x.com/SaksithCNA/status/1900740333148979373 -
