Congressman John Moolenaar Chairman of the Select Committee on the CCP | Official Website
Today, a joint statement was released by Chairman John Moolenaar and Ranking Member Raja Krishnamoorthi of the House Select Committee on the Strategic Competition Between the United States and the Chinese Communist Party. The statement addresses Thailand's recent decision to deport Uyghur refugees back to China.
The statement condemns Thailand's actions as "disgraceful and inhumane," highlighting that this decision violates international human rights law. It points out that these individuals face forced labor, prison, torture, and other severe consequences upon their return to China. Moolenaar and Krishnamoorthi emphasize that there are countries willing to accept these refugees.
"This is unacceptable behavior for any member of the international community—let alone a U.S. treaty ally," they stated. They call for accountability among Thai officials involved in this decision, suggesting sanctions as a possible measure.
The statement concludes with a reminder of the ongoing genocide in Xinjiang and urges global attention to those who enable such actions.
