The UN High Commmissioner for Refugees said Thursday it "deeply regrets the deportation" of around 40 Uyghurs by Thai authorities, despite fears they could be persecuted in China.
"This is a clear violation of the principle of non-refoulement and the Royal Thai Government's obligations under international law," UNHCR's Assistant High Commissioner for Protection, Ruvendrini Menikdiwela, said in a statement.
The Uyghurs Muslims are reported to be oppressed by Chinese government for long.
