Thailand deports dozens of Uyghurs to China, activists say

Police stand outside an immigration detention center of the Immigration Bureau where Uyghur detainees were held in Bangkok in January. The detainees said they were facing deportation back to China, where they fear persecution.

The detainees were part of a group of some 300 Uyghurs who fled China and were arrested in Thailand in 2014. Thailand deported more than 100 of them to China in 2015, drawing condemnation.
