I remain deeply concerned about Chinese journalist and human rights defender Bai Zhaodong, who remains detained in Thailand despite having served his sentence for immigration-related offences. A hearing is scheduled for Friday, 9 October, to challenge the lawfulness of his continued detention.
I call for his release and will closely follow the hearing.
Thailand must also uphold the principle of non-refoulement and ensure he is not transferred to China, where he may face persecution, torture or other irreparable harm.
