A diplomatic row has emerged between Turkey and China regarding the nationality of 17 Uighurs detained in Thailand. The group has been issued Turkish passports, but China demands they be returned to Xinjiang, where Turkic-speaking Uighurs face severe repression. To reach Turkey, refugees travel through Southeast Asia. Due to growing ties between Thailand and China, it is unlikely that those detained will be released to Turkey.
