Thailand’s National Security Council chief Chaipruak Doungprapat said that China needs to present a formal extradition request and that the decision on the two Uyghurs will go through the courts, with the two men able to defend themselves. The council will not decide on their deportation on its own, unlike the case of the 40 Uyghur men sent back to China last year. The two were released from prison in late October and are being held at the Suan Plu immigration detention center in Bangkok. Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning defended bilateral cooperation against cross-border crimes, including illegal immigration, on Wednesday, and did not comment on whether Beijing had already presented an extradition request.

Colombia extradited one of the main leaders of a dissident faction of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) to the United States on Friday, September 25, 2026, according to three police sources cited by Reuters, in a report republished by G1. The man extradited is Geovany Andrés Rojas, known by the alias “Araña”, described as the leader of the Comandos de Frontera, a faction of the Coordinadora Nacional del Ejército Bolivariano. It is the first extradition of a high-ranking commander of an armed group under President Abelardo De La Espriella; his case had been suspended under Gustavo Petro’s government, amid its peace negotiations. The transfer began at La Picota prison in Bogotá, in an operation by Colombia’s judicial police and Interpol, and the procedure includes flying him to the United States aboard a Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) aircraft, according to reports cited by ColombiaOne.
