Detainees fear their return could be imminent despite UN experts urging Bangkok to halt the possible transfer

A UN panel of experts this week urged Thailand to “immediately halt the possible transfer”, warning the men were at “real risk of torture or other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment if they are returned”.
