US Imposes Sanctions on Thai Officials Following Deportation of Uyghurs to China

In response to the recent forcible deportation of Uyghurs from Thailand to China, the US State Department has announced a series of visa sanctions against Thai officials involved in these actions. This move comes after 40 Uyghurs were repatriated to China, raising concerns about their safety and potential human rights violations. The European Parliament has condemned these deportations, urging Thailand to reconsider its policies regarding Uyghur refugees. Additionally, Justice For All has called on Turkey to halt similar deportations, while Slovenia expressed regret over Thailand’s actions. The situation has prompted discussions on human rights and law enforcement collaboration between the US and Thailand, with experts labeling the sanctions as hypocritical interference.
