Uyghurs facing deportation by Thailand say they will be ‘like slaves’ in China
- The deportation of two more Uyghurs to China from Thailand would put their lives in grave danger, activists have said, with one of the men saying he would be “like a slave” if he was sent back.
- Now, two more men fear becoming the latest victims of Beijing’s repressive crackdown against the largely Muslim ethnic group, condemned by the UN as a potential crime against humanity.
- The girlfriend of one of the men said her boyfriend, whose name is being withheld for security reasons, told the Guardian he wanted to go “anywhere else but China”.
