Chinese invite Thais to check on repatriated Uighurs

Chinese invite Thais to check on repatriated Uighurs

The Chinese government has invited the Thai government to visit China to observe its treatment of the Uighur migrants sent back to the country in an attempt to quash rumours that they were severely punished or killed, according to a Thai Foreign Ministry

The National Security Council would consider inviting representatives of international organisations such as International Committee of the Red Cross to travel to China with the government officials.
The invitation came about following expressions of concern by several groups that the Uighurs repatriated to China from Thailand may be severely punished, possibly resulting in their death.
The Thai ministry’s statement said that the Chinese government had reassured the Thai government that it would treat those people with fairness and guarantee their safety. 
Moreover, care would be taken of those found not guilty and they would returned to society. They would also be provided with farmlands, the Chinese government said.
