Thai officials have defended their deportation of 40 Uyghurs to China despite warnings the ethnic minorities may possibly face torture or death.
The country's government, under the influence of Sinophile Thaksin Shinawatra, on Thursday, February 27, repatriated 40 Uyghur men to China's Xinjiang province after detaining them in the country for more than 10 years over illegal entry charges.
