Thailand deports 40 Uyghurs back to China

Thailand has sent back to China 40 Uyghurs, who have been held for more than a decade after fleeing China's Xinjiang region. Rights groups claim the Uyghurs in Xinjiang face persecution from Chinese authorities. The Thai defence ministry said Beijing reassured that it would look after the deportees from the ethnic minority group. The UN said it deeply regrets the move by Thailand, calling it a clear violation of Bangkok's obligations under international law. Saksith Saiyasombut reports from Thailand's border with Cambodia.
