EXKLUSIV: Kanada und die USA boten Uyghurs in Thailand Asylum vor der Deportation nach China an, so Quellen, sagen Quellen

SS: Panu Wongcha-um of *Reuters* reports that Canada and the U.S. had offered to resettle 48 Uyghurs detained in Thailand for over a decade, but Bangkok, fearing China’s wrath, quietly cast them back into the storm. Despite UN warnings of torture, Thai officials justified the move as legal, while Beijing framed it as the return of “illegal migrants.”

Former Thai ambassador Pisan Manawapat admitted the decision was driven not by conscience but by geopolitics, signaling China’s growing hold over its neighbor. The UN refugee agency was denied access, ensuring the Uyghurs remained unseen and unheard—until their forced return.

In betraying those who sought refuge, Thailand has broken the sacred dharma of sanctuary, trading its moral standing for political expediency. This is no mere policy shift — it is a tempest in Suvarnabhumi, where the weight of gold has outweighed the weight of righteousness, and a kingdom once proud of its independence now tightens its place in China’s grand design.

The problem in doing that is that more Uyghurs would then come to Thailand. It will create an asylum pipeline.

For whatever reason, Thailand does not want this to happen. The way to ensure this is to deport them back to China and publicise this – making sure future Uyghur asylum seekers won’t come to Thailand in the first place.
