In a turn of events that has stirred international ire and a whirlwind of controversy, Thailand has sent back 40 Uyghurs to China, after detaining them for a protracted period of over ten years. The move has not only drawn outrage but also deep condemnation from the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), who, with the gravitas befitting the situation, labeled the deportation a flagrant violation of international law.

The Thai officials, at first, seemed to have promised the UN agency that a deportation was not on the cards, but intriguingly, UNHCR never got the opportunity to meet with the Uyghurs. When probed about the intentions concerning the deportation, Thai officials with a sense of evasive solace claimed that no final verdict was reached. Yet, as the dust settled, it seems the decision…
