The United States Embassy in Bangkok warns Americans of possible “violent retaliation attacks” on Friday after a group of 45 iguuros Deported by Thailand To China in a Moving Secretary of State Marco Rubio condemned in the “stronger terms”.
Thai police and security officials said China had Given the guarantees that men, who had been in custody for more than a decade, would not face sanctions or be damaged. They said at a press conference on Thursday that everyone returned voluntarily after they were shown a translation of a written Chinese agreement requesting their repatriation and declaring that they would be allowed to live normally.
“Similar deportations have caused violent retaliation attacks in the past,” warned the United States embassy on Friday. “The most notable, following a deportation of Thailand Uigures, improvised improvised explosive devices detonated in the Erawan sanctuary in Bangkok killing 20 people and hurting another 125 while this sanctuary is visited by tourists from China.”
The embassy is now encouraging Americans in Thailand to “exercise greater caution and surveillance, especially in places full of people frequented by tourists due to the potential of a higher collateral risk.”

“We urge all governments in countries where iguuros seek protection so as not to force the Éngic Uigures to China,” he added.
“We call on Chinese authorities that provide full access to verify the welfare of the Uyghurs returned regularly,” Rubio said too. “The Thai government must completely insist and verify that the Chinese authorities protect the human rights of the Uigures.”
