EU may tie Thailand’s OECD talks to human rights issues : Natthaphong

1 Oct 07:12 Key points summarised by AI

The EU may link Thailand's OECD accession and FTA negotiations to human rights compliance, spurred by concerns over Thailand's deportation of Uyghurs to China.
The European Parliament passed a resolution condemning Thailand's repatriation of Uyghur detainees and urged a halt to further forced returns to at-risk countries.
Experts suggest the Uyghur deportation reflects Thailand's human rights failures and recommend involving human rights representatives in inspections to boost international credibility.

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.
