Information received concerning the alleged unlawful deportation to the People’s Republic of China, on 27 February 2025, of 40 Uyghurs with Chinese nationality (though the precise number is uncertain giving conflicting accounts), who were held in detention for over a decade in various locations, including at the Bangkok Immigration Detention Center, Suan Phlu. The deportation appears to have been carried out by the Thai authorities without the application of proper procedures to ensure that the customary and treaty norms of non-refoulement were strictly adhered to, and despite numerous calls and advocacy efforts against it, including by the United Nations, international human rights mechanisms, the National Human Rights Commission of Thailand, and civil society, all of which reminded the Government of Thailand of its international law obligations and the binding principles of international protection, including of non-refoulement.

The deportation appears to have been carried out by the Thai authorities under pressure and without the application of proper procedures to ensure that the customary norms of non-refoulement were strictly adhered to. Despite numerous calls and advocacy efforts against the deportation and for access to the detained Uyghurs, including by the United Nations, international human rights mechanisms, the National Human Rights Commission of Thailand, and civil society. However, these calls were not heeded, and access was not permitted.
