الصين: معاقبة اللاجئين المسلمين الإيجور بتايلاند بالغرامة والاحتجاز

خبر من مصادر إنجليزية.

حكم القضاء التايلاندي على عشرات من المسلمين الإيجور اللاجئين للبلاد فرارًا من قمع السلطات الصينية الشيوعية الفاشية بالغرامة؛ حيث حكم عليهم بمبلغ 4000 بات تايلاندي، واحتجاز نحو 78 رجلاً بمعرفة سلطات الهجرة، وتحويل 60 امرأة و82 طفلاً إلى الملاجئ المؤقتة.

وقد أثارت الأحكام التمييزية عاصفة من استنكار المجموعات الحقوقية التي استنكرت تنكل "تايلاند" عن الالتزام بحقوق الإنسان، وأن إجبارهم على العودة لـ"الصين" إلقاء لهم في التهلكة، في ظل ما يعانيه الإيجور من قمْعٍ وبطْش تحت الحكم الصيني، بالرغم من استقلال الإقليم ذاتيًّا منذ عام 1955؛ المصدر: شبكة الألوكة.

Thailand Fines Uighur Asylum Seekers

Thailand sentenced dozens of asylum seekers, believed to be from China’s persecuted Uighur Muslim minority, on Saturday, March 15, amid calls from the US and human rights groups not to forcibly return them to China.

“Thai authorities should realize that Uighurs forced back to China disappear into a black hole,” said Brad Adams, Asia director of Human Rights Watch said in a statement published on its website.

“They need to allow all members of this group access to a fair process to determine their claims based on their merits, not on Beijing’s demands.”

The group of Uighurs, a predominantly Muslim, Turkic minority that originates from western China, was discovered on March 13, 2014, in a jungle camp in Thailand’s Songkhla province.

The group includes 78 men, 60 women and 82 children.

The asylum seekers, who appeared to be preparing to head elsewhere, presented themselves as Turkish.

But US-based activists have identified them as Uighurs, a Turkic-speaking, predominantly Muslim group from China's northwestern Xinjiang region.

On the first official move, the Thai authorities sentenced the group to a fine of 4,000 baht (about RM406) each by a court in southern Thailand.

The men will be detained by immigration and the women and children will be taken to a shelter, Police Major General Thatchai Pitaneelaboot told Agence France Presse (AFP) by telephone.

Uighur Muslims are a Turkish-speaking minority of eight million in the northwestern Xinjiang region.

Xinjiang, which activists call East Turkestan, has been autonomous since 1955 but continues to be the subject of massive security crackdowns by Chinese authorities.

Rights groups accuse Chinese authorities of religious repression against Uighur Muslims in Xinjiang in the name of counter terrorism.
