Muslim asylum seekers sent back to China face risk of torture or death

Help us protect Uyghurs from crimes against humanity. Thailand Just Deported a Group of Muslim Ethnic Minorities Back to China, Where They Face the Risk of "Torture and Imprisonment" or Even Death      Sign Now      Indra,   For nearly a decade, China has been enacting violent, repressive policies against mostly-Muslim ethnic minorities. The United Nations and multiple human rights groups say China's actions amount to crimes against humanity.   Uyghurs, a Muslim ethnic group, are the main target of China's violence. Nearly one million Uyghurs have been rounded up and imprisoned in internment camps since 2017, where they are subjected to horrific conditions including torture, sleep deprivation, sexual abuse, and forcible rejection of their religion. There have even been reports of forcing birth control or sterilization on Uyghur women. Because of this persecution based on their ethnicity and religion, many Uyghurs have fled China in search of asylum. One such group of people, simply seeking safety and freedom in 2014, were detained in Thailand. But now, in 2025, Thailand has decided to send 40 of those Uyghurs back to China — a violation of international law, since they face almost certain violence and persecution upon their return.  Help us stand up for Uyghurs, and all other ethnic and religious minorities facing persecution! Sign the petition and demand the Thai government immediately change its policy and offer safety and asylum to all Uyghurs! Thank you, Sophie Care2 Petitions Team P.S. Uyghurs, a Muslim ethnic group, have faced violent persecution from the Chinese Government. Thailand just sent 40 Uyghurs who sought asylum back to China where they are in immense danger.
