Phasuk questioned Thailand's trust in China's non-verbal promises, citing past instances of human rights violations against Uyghurs repatriated to China and concerns about potential prosecution for those recently sent back.
The international community, including the United States and the United Kingdom, has condemned Thailand's decision to repatriate the group.
China continues to face widespread criticism from human rights groups and Western governments over its treatment of Uyghurs in Xinjiang, with documented reports of mass detentions and forced labor.
