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. For years, the UNHCR implored for access to these individuals, who bore the acute fear of persecution upon any return to China. Interestingly, the discourse between Thailand and the UN agency was initially laced with reassurances. Thai officials adamantly promised that deportation was not on the cards. However, in a bewildering twist akin to a spy novel’s climax, access was never granted. When the air thickened with the pressing question of deportation status, the Thai officials, much like an illusionist…

The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) has been quick to condemn this move, voicing sincere condolences and calling it a blatant violation of international law. As the saga unfolded, the UNHCR highlighted their continuous, albeit thwarted, efforts to gain access to these detainees, stressing the sinister fear that these individuals would endure persecution upon returning to China. 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…

Picture this: a stray dog, with a nose sharper than a detective’s intuition, drags a bone from the wild greens by the roadside right into the heart of the community road. A bone so large and out of place among the stray populace that it immediately stirs suspicion among the residents of the Ban Nam Dip community in Mae Sot district. What ensues is a grim unraveling, much like a scene from a mystery novel. The townsfolk, guided by a mix of curiosity and a sense of unease, embark on a quest to trace the bone’s origin.

With a severe head injury and a ghastly gash on his thigh, Paisan’s life hung by a thread. CPR was promptly…
