US Edition3 Uyghurs who were detained in Thailand for over a decade have been resettled in Canada
- After spending more than ten years detained in Thailand, three Uyghur men were relocated to Canada during the month of April 2025.
- Their prolonged detention followed a 2014 capture near Thailand's border amid China's harsh crackdown on Uyghurs fleeing Xinjiang.
- The men were held with a group of 300 Uyghurs in overcrowded cells, faced poor conditions, and many detainees suffered or died while waiting.
- Advocates explained that the men likely avoided forced repatriation due in part to their dual Kyrgyzstani-Chinese citizenship, with one expressing serious concerns about the dangers the Uyghurs would face if returned to China.
- Their resettlement highlights continuing tensions between global powers and concerns over Uyghur rights, while others remain at risk amid Thailand’s prior deportations to China.
