Cambodian and international rights groups remain concerned over the fates of 20 Muslim Uighurs ejected from Cambodia in December.
A Chinese government spokesman indicated to the New York Times last week that the Uighurs would be or have been tried.
“China is a country ruled by law,” Ma Zhaoxu, a Foreign Ministry spokesman, told the Times. “The judicial authorities deal with illegal criminal issues strictly according to law.”
It remains unclear what has happened to the group.
