US warns of risks to Uyghurs deported from Thailand to China, where they may face persecution.

The US Embassy in Thailand warns Americans following the deportation of at least 40 Uyghurs to China, where they face risks of persecution and torture. Secretary of State Marco Rubio condemned the action, urging countries not to forcibly return Uyghurs to China. Thailand's deputy prime minister defended the deportation, while the country also repatriates undocumented Myanmar migrants, potentially exposing them to forced military conscription in Myanmar.
