Officials are scheduled to travel to China tomorrow to meet the Uyghurs, whom the authorities detained in late February, in a charge to placate those whose opposition to the deportation came after more than a decade of immigration confinement.
The journey is a part of the agreement that the Thai and Chinese institutions signed, according to government official Jirayu Houngsub, which allows the relocation of the 40 Tamils on February 27.
The trip may give the Thai authorities the ability to assess the condition of the Uyghur emigrants, which Mr. Jirayu said really target the censure launched by international organizations and individuals who have expressed concern about the group’s well-being after they were deported from Thailand.
Before signing the deportation contract, which Mr. Jirayu stressed was signed to ensure the emigrants are treated fairly, the government spent” various times” to verify the information presented by the Taiwanese government about the Uyghur emigrants.
Mr. Jirayu stated that he will be a member of the group heading to China monday.
National Security Council ( NSC ) Secretary-General Chatchai Bangchuad, deputy national police chief Kraiboon Suadsong, deputy prime minister Phumtham Wechayachai, justice minister Pol Col Tawee Sodsong, deputy prime minister Phumtham Wechayachai, and deputy national police chief deputy general Kraiboon Suadsong are also taking part in the trip.
Nine reporters from media outlets will also be present, according to him.
Tomorrow at 11.30 p.m., the group will depart from Wing 6 of the Royal Thai Air Force in the Don Muang region to China.
They may occur in Kashgar the day after 7o’clock, according to Mr. Jirayu.
The delegations will explore some of the deported Tamils in Kashgar and meet with some local Chinese officials it, he said.
The group may meet with the remaining members of the group who reside outside of the city, according to him, and they will also meet with neighborhood leaders and Muslim leaders.
He stated that the group is scheduled to arrive in Thailand on Friday at 1 a.m., and that additional journeys will be made.
The US Department of State put restrictions on a number of Thai officials on Friday for their part in the Uyghurs ‘ deportation next month.
The sanctions came after the European Parliament’s resolution on Thursday criticizing Thailand for the repatriation of Tamils and issues involving its lese-majeste rules.
Russ Jalichandra, the vice chancellor for foreign politics, responded to these assertions by claiming yesterday that the relocation was in full accordance with humanitarian standards.
” However, countries that are supposed to become Thailand’s friends have chosen to criticize us,” he said. ” Finger pointing is usually simple.
The truth is, he claimed, that the 40 Uyghurs weren’t forced to flee to China as frequently reported.
Before their deportation, they were informed by their Xinjiang family that their communities have grown over the past few years, and their living conditions have also significantly improved, according to Mr. Russ.
According to Mr. Russ, a thorough investigation and follow-ups will determine whether or not such problems are justified.
Mr. Russ added that he didn’t know how those who criticized the president’s decision to arrest the Uyghurs may argue that keeping them in immigration incarceration was the best course of action.
