UNPO
Today, under the cover of night, Cambodia has furtively extradited twenty Uyghurs from a military airbase in Phnom Penh to China in a fateful decision that not only undermines the United Nations but which should be expected to end in executions
Below is an article published by UNPO:
Despite protests from the international community, Cambodia has extradited twenty Uyghurs to China this evening. Their departure from Phnom Penh marks the end of hopes that the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) would be permitted to finish its investigations into their cases.
UNPO Secretary General, Marino Busdachin, condemned the decision by the Cambodian Interior Ministry, stating that it "ends any hope we might have had that their cases could be dealt with fairly...the manner of their deportation is beyond shameful - we must now expect to enter the new year with more Uyghur executions."
Mr. Busdachin's comments echoed those of Mr. Wayne Marston MP, member of the Canadian House of Commons' Subcommittee on Human Rights who in supporting UNPO's initial calls to halt the extraditions noted that "China is well known to be a country which regularly exercises the death penalty, this [extradition] then clearly puts these Uyghurs at the severe risk of execution."
Senator Marco Perduca of the Senate of the Republic of Italy said that to "throw them into the jaws of a judicial system that is acknowledged to be partial, which still supports the death penalty, and which has already led to the execution of at least eight Uyghurs in recent months after seriously flawed trials."
These fears have now been realised. UNPO condemns in the strongest terms the decision of Phnom Penh to extradite twenty Uyghurs that had entered Cambodia in an effort to escape discriminatory policies in East Turkestan. The decision threatens Cambodia's moral standing in a region with few examples of good governance and respect for human rights, and it critically undermines the United Nations and in particular the UNHCR.
Therefore, while drawing no encouragement from past trials, UNPO nevertheless urges the Chinese authorities to ensure that the extradited Uyghurs are treated fairly, that their human rights are respected, and should their cases be taken to court, that international observers are permitted entry to their trials.

Hun Sen government is clearly selling Uyghurs freedom seekers to China for money in the form of aid. I urge all countries in the world to cut tie with Phnom Penh Hun sen-government NOW because this government don't respect human right, don't respect human lives, don't repect international laws. They don't any lives lost, they are hungry for more MONEY from China.
Dear all readers, this is the Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen and government do the right thing, because Uyghurs peoples are Chinese must be return them back to China, Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen not hungry money, he do by the law and now he also know today China he is make good friend with China better than make enemy with,and this is the part of Asia, I hoping that the European not worrying to much, about UN American behind the UN, if let UN staffs to supporting the Muslim peoples in China, one days American Government will be control most Countries, China Government must be still using the former President Mao Tse Tong Policy the best Policy, if Mao Tse Tong Policy not strong may cannot removed or destroyed England and Japanese armies out from China, so I request UN not to worrying too much about the Chinese peoples excaped from China, the Chinese Government can look after them or their own peoples. from the Chinese / Cambodian Victim from the year 1975 to the year 1979 during Khmer Rough / Pol Pot regime under A cruel Vampire Yuonese / Vietnamese hidden faces behind the killing field in Melbourne Australia.
