webfact Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 Aziz Abdullah (right) and family before they fled to Thailand IMAGE SOURCE, COURTESY ABDULLAH FAMILY By Jonathan Head BBC News, BangkokThe death of a 49-year-old Uyghur asylum-seeker in Thailand has prompted pleas from rights groups to find a humane solution to the plight of around 50 Uyghur men who have been detained for nine years. Aziz Abdullah died after he collapsed in the Immigration Detention Centre in Bangkok where he was being held. He was part of a wave of more than 350 Uyghur asylum-seekers who fled from Xinjiang in western China in 2013, and were detained in Thailand. China denies committing crimes against humanity against Uyghur Muslims and other minorities in Xinjiang, where human rights groups believe more than a million people have been held in a vast network of what the state calls "re-education camps" in recent years.

bangon04 Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 I think the "pressure" from their Chinese cousins / sponsors is more important. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sallecc Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 Is this the same IDC in BKK where everybody (including the overstayers?) are stuck while waiting to be deported? As I remember one Hungarian died few years ago (similar like this guy, Doctor said "he was okay" before he died), and also one young American (or Brit?) before him died under very suspicious circumstances, it was in the news.

proton Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 Humane thing to do is return them from whence they came, we don't want Thailand to end up like the UK! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemsta69 Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 I'm loving the irony here. The Beeb is crying about China forcing the Uighurs to do something against their will but ignores the fact that when Muslims take over the first thing they do is force everyone to do things against their will. eg. getting blasted awake at 3:45 AM by the loudspeakers whether you like it or not. Complain and face a world of hurt. And that's just Jakarta which was Islam Lite when I had the misfortune of staying there in the late '90s. PS. Nice Islamic State salute there from the horde ☝️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gknrd Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 (edited) Just going to get worse for Thailand. They can saturate the internet with fluff all they want. It's not going to help now. Things are deteriorating to a point of no return with China and the US and other allied nations. And the leaders of Thailand are all in with China. What a total mess. Interesting to watch in the next few months what will happen. Edited February 21, 2023 by Gknrd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spidermike007 Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 China's denial means very little. The intentions of the CCP are heinous, at best. Organ harvesting, slavery, and concentration camps, are the tip of the iceberg. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
