La Uyghur American Association ci informa che venti uyghuri in esilio in Cambogia sono prigionieri in un centro di detenzione a Phnom Penh e rischiano la deportazione. Segue il comunicato in inglese

The Uyghur American Association (UAA) has learned that 20 of the Uyghurs who sought refuge in Cambodia, out of an original group of 22, are being held at a detention center in the Cambodian capital of Phnom Penh, and have been told that they are facing imminent deportation to China. The 20 Uyghurs are being held in handcuffs and leg shackles, and were not given any food to eat on Friday (December 18). All 22 Uyghurs in the original group were under the protection of the UNHCR when they were taken into custody, and were in the process of applying for refugee status. UAA is extremely concerned about the possibility of the imminent deportation of the 20 Uyghurs currently being held in detention, particularly in light of Chinese Vice President Xi Jinping’s upcoming visit to Cambodia beginning this Sunday (December 20).
