💨 Abstract

The United Nations Commissioner for Human Rights, Volker Turk, has condemned the deportation of 40 ethnic Uyghurs held in Thailand for over 11 years to China as a violation of international human rights laws. Turk expressed regret over the forced return, stating it breaches the principle of non-refoulement, which prohibits the return of individuals to a country where they face a real risk of torture, ill-treatment, or irreparable harm.
