This is an update of the story we posted here eight days ago.
Amnesty International wants to know what happened to 20 Muslim Uighur asylum seekers that Cambodia handed over to China recently. Good luck with that request, or the request to see them!
Uighur asylum-seekers who were forcibly deported from Cambodia last week after the country refused to release any information.
Cambodia deported back to a group of 20 Muslim Uighurs who the Uighur American Association said some in the group had witnessed security forces killing and beating Uighur demonstrators and they could face persecution, including possible execution, in China.
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Jiang Yu declined to say where the Uighurs were or whether they had been charged with any crime upon their return to China.
Chinese authorities accused them of being “criminals” over violent protests in July.

Amnesty International has also urged the Chinese government to provide the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR) with immediate access to the 20 individuals to monitor their well-being.
Meanwhile, elsewhere in Asia, Thailand is throwing out the Hmong (here).
