Human rights organizations are calling on Thai authorities to halt the imminent forcible return of two Uyghur men to China. Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch both reported that the two men face grave risks of arbitrary detention and torture if they are deported. [1][2]

Human Rights Watch reported that the two men were recently moved to an immigration detention centre in Bangkok after receiving a royal pardon. The names of the two men have not been released publicly for security reasons. [2]

Amnesty International Secretary General Agnès Callamard stated that Thai authorities must immediately stop any plans to return the individuals. The Bangkok Post also reported that a Thai opposition member of parliament has warned against deporting the two Uyghur detainees to China. [1][3]
