Outcry as Thailand deports China Uighurs

Thailand has deported more than 100 Muslim Uighurs back to China, sparking outcry from human rights groups.

The Uighurs had been in Thailand for over a year, along with others, and were claiming Turkish citizenship.

Uighurs already living in Turkey responded angrily, smashing windows at the Thai consulate in Istanbul.
