Chinese invite Thais to check on repatriated Uighurs
The Nation

BANGKOK: -- The Chinese government has invited the Thai government to visit China to observe its treatment of the Uighur migrants sent back to the country in an attempt to quash rumours that they were severely punished or killed, according to a Thai Foreign Ministry press statement.

The National Security Council would consider inviting representatives of international organisations such as International Committee of the Red Cross to travel to China with the government officials.

The invitation came about following expressions of concern by several groups that the Uighurs repatriated to China from Thailand may be severely punished, possibly resulting in their death.

The Thai ministry's statement said that the Chinese government had reassured the Thai government that it would treat those people with fairness and guarantee their safety.

Moreover, care would be taken of those found not guilty and they would returned to society. They would also be provided with farmlands, the Chinese government said.

Thailand Says It Rejected China’s Request to Deport All Uighur Muslims
By AMY SAWITTA LEFEVRE & PRACHA HARIRAKSAPITAK

BANGKOK — Thailand said on Friday that it had rejected a request from Beijing to deport all Uighur Muslims held in detention camps back to China, two days after the deportation of nearly 100 Uighurs sparked international criticism.

Beijing’s request was denied based on the grounds that the Uighurs’ nationalities had to be “verified” by Thai authorities first, Col. Weerachon Sukhondhapatipak, deputy Thai government spokesman, told reporters.

“We did this according to international agreement and international law and keeping in mind human rights,” said Weerachon.

“This decision was difficult to make. It is not like all of a sudden China asks for Uighurs and we just give them back. China asked for all Uighur Muslims in Thailand to be sent back but we said we could not do it,” he said.

Just have the Red Cross/Red Crescent society visit and send reports to the UN. Nobody

is going to even read or believe reports from Thailand anyway. Save money for those

submarines.
