Das Schicksal uigurischer Flüchtlinge, die 2009 aus Kambodscha abgeschoben wurden, wird enthüllt

SS: In 2009, Cambodia deported 20 Uyghur asylum seekers to China despite international outcry, where they faced secret trials, harsh sentences, and severe mistreatment, according to Radio Free Asia (RFA). One deportee, Shahide Kurban, suffered a miscarriage after enduring torture, including electrocution and being left nearly naked in freezing conditions. Another, Memettursun Omer, is serving a 20-year sentence in poor health and forced labor despite suffering from hyperthyroidism. At least two deportees have died in prison, while others received sentences ranging from 16 years to life. The deportation followed unrest in Xinjiang and international warnings about the risks of refoulement, but Cambodia proceeded, securing $1.2 billion in Chinese grants and loans shortly after. Rights groups and governments worldwide condemned both countries’ actions, highlighting the Uyghurs’ ongoing plight.
