International community condemns Thailand for deporting Uyghurs to China

13 Sept 11:31 Key points summarised by AI

Thailand deported dozens of Uyghurs to China, triggering immediate and widespread condemnation from the international community, including the US, UK, Germany, EU, and UN.
Global leaders and human rights organizations expressed grave concerns that the deported Uyghurs face severe persecution, human rights abuses, and a lack of due process upon their return to China, violating international non-refoulement principles.
Despite international warnings and a similar incident in 2015, Thai officials stated China guaranteed the Uyghurs' safety and well-being, while China described them as "illegal migrants" and the repatriation as a "concrete measure of cooperation" against cross-border crimes.

President Macron condemned widespread rioting and looting during nationwide protests, blaming far-left activists and criminals for the "unrestrained violence" and vowing accountability for those who "sought to bring down the Republic."
Over 2,400 arrests were made as protests against rising living costs and poor school conditions escalated, causing extensive damage to public buildings and businesses in cities like Paris, Limoges (where City Hall burned), Marseille, and Lyon.
The unrest, which organizers hoped would revive the "yellow vest" movement, saw political leaders trade blame, with Macron instructing prefects to protect public buildings and potentially ban future protests to prevent further disorder.
