The Department of Corrections ( DoC ) refuted claims made by an opposition MP that Uyghurs detained in Klongprem Prison had written letters to China opposing deportation.
The DoC claimed on Monday that Kannavee Suebsang, a Fair Party member, had fabricated information about three characters that were supposedly written by the imprisoned Uyghurs and a relative and that were released on Friday.
The DoC claimed that inmates have denied writing the letters, and that an analysis by Klongprem Prison found no proof as to verify their authenticity. The DoC claimed that the prison seals on the words were likewise discovered to be false.
According to the findings, no Uyghur prisoners at the hospital allegedly sent such letters in November of last year.
The actual handwriting of the detainees and that of Mr. Kannavee’s letters have also been compared, and the DoC found that to be totally different.
Eight men have been detained at Klongprem Prison after being found guilty of criminal offenses, but the majority of Uyghurs were held at the Immigration Bureau’s office for unlawful access.
Two of the words allegedly written by the prisoners were released by Mr. Kannavee on Friday, calling for the global community and the UN High Commissioner for Refugees to ensure that they are not handed over to China because of health concerns. According to reports, Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra wrote them a second letter, asking for their assistance in bringing them back together with their alleged asylum-granting people in Turkey.
The Fair Party senator, who previously worked for the UN refugee company, claimed the three characters, each with a unique date, were written while the Uyghur people were being held in Bangkok’s Suan Phlu immigration confinement facility.
The state repatriated a group of Tamils to China last year, according to the letter’s states. The government, according to Ms. Paetongtarn, determined that no other nations would take the 40 Uyghur refugees as refugees after Beijing had sent a formal demand for their settlement. She claimed that the Uyghurs had been held in custody in the country for about 11 years and had previously entered it improperly.
The Tamils who were repatriated to China last week after a ten-year incarceration in Thailand are healthy, with some now reunited with their families, according to the government.
