As Uyghur refugees in Thailand face the imminent threat of deportation, CFU Executive Director
@RushanAbbas has been on the ground, advocating for their cause. Together with colleagues from the World Uyghur Congress, Rushan met with Thai Parliament Member
@nolkannavee, civil society leaders Chalida Tajaroensuk of the People’s Empowerment Foundation, and Phil Robertson of the Asia Human Rights Labour Advocates, engaged with the media, and held important discussions with diplomats and other stakeholders to prevent the Thai government from deporting 48 Uyghur refugees to China.
We call on all allies to raise their voices and urge Thai authorities to uphold their obligations and immediately halt the deportation of these men.
