Were they being sent to Guantanamo where domestic laws don't apply?  Were they shackled, blindfolded, put in diapers for the entire flight?  Did they stop off at a black site along the way for a little "enhanced interrogation" with electrical cables and broom handles?

 

 

Worse... They were sent to China and God only knows the torture and suffering they will get once there and out of public view. They may never be seen again.

Normally I receive an email from the US Embassy when an alert of this nature is issued.

 

I haven't received one for this.

Let me explain, this "group", the so called Uyghur, happens to be a Muslim minority in China. That's why they clash with the mainstream Chinese culture. Thailand itself has it's own issues with Muslim separatists in the South, they often resort to explosions, violence. So, at least some of the Thai Muslims identify with the Uyghur groups, so they carried out the attack to the Erawan shrine. 

 

so Thailand deports them for the typical reasons people get deported here (I never heard of them accepting refugees long term and how would they legally work anyways so probably working illegally)  then Muslims in Thailand do terrorism on the Thai public as retaliation. Sounds like a no-win scenario for Thailand to be messing around with any of these people. That includes the Thai public, expats and tourists.

Thailand:  Tourist numbers are falling from China. What can we do? Why are the numbers falling?

China: Send the Uyghur's back and we will permit more flights , promote Thailand as the tourist destination. 

 

Done!  Anything else?

While that might be true, certainly in it's past, it would take millennia to catch up with the CCP or Russia. 

Or the US for that fact.
