Thailand Says China Must Seek Extradition of Two Uyghur MenThailand Must Not Return Uyghur Men to Risk of AbuseThailand’s Courts, Not Political Pressure, Must Decide Uyghur Case
Thailand said on November 4 that China must file a formal extradition request to seek the return of two Uyghur men held in Bangkok, as the men fear abuse if sent back.Thailand says courts will decide whether two Uyghur men can be extradited to China, but their fear of abuse and the unknown fate of 40 men returned last year put human rights obligations at the center of the case.Thailand says two Uyghur men will have a court process before any return to China, which must first make a formal extradition request. The case tests whether established legal procedures can govern a sensitive security matter.
