| Thai PM defends decision to send Uighurs back to China | |  By Amy Sawitta Lefevre and Yesim Dikmen BANGKOK/ISTANBUL (Reuters) - Thailand's prime minister defended a decision to forcibly return nearly 100 Uighur Muslim migrants to China despite rights groups concerns they could face ill-treatment upon their return, saying if they encountered any problems it was not Bangkok's fault. Thai Prime Minister Prayuth Chan-ocha also held out the possibility of shutting the Thai embassy in Turkey after protesters attacked the honorary consulate in Istanbul, smashing windows and ransacking parts of the building, over the expulsion of the Uighurs back to China.
