The recent fatal shooting of former Cambodian lawmaker Lim Kimya in Thailand highlights the dangers faced by political dissidents in the country, raising serious concerns about refugee safety.
'Both Lim Kimya's killing and the current predicament of the Uyghurs show that (...) Thailand is not a safe place for refugees,' said Patrick Phongsathorn, emphasizing the perilous situation for those fleeing persecution.
Deporting Uyghurs back to China, particularly after the killing of dissidents like Lim Kimya, illustrates Thailand's ongoing failure to uphold international legal standards on refugee protection.
The actions of the Thai government, including the forced return of activists with UN-recognized refugee status, underline the troubling trend of neglecting the rights of vulnerable populations.
