The Hague, 21st December 2010 – Just over one year ago the United States Embassy in Phnom Penh stated it was “deeply concerned” about the welfare of twenty Uyghurs deported under the cover of night from Cambodia to China, but today their cases are almost forgotten.
The whereabouts of those twenty Uyghurs remains unknown amid longstanding and deep-rooted fears for their safety. The Chinese government has disappeared these Uyghurs. Moreover, Cambodia was fully aware prior to returning these Uyghurs that they would be subject to grave human rights violations upon their return.
In 2010 the United States and the Kingdom of Cambodia marked their 60th Anniversary of diplomatic relations amid messages of “peace, stability and development” from H.M. King Norodom Sihamoni and President Obama’s desire that “human rights, and strengthening democratic institutions” be a continuing feature of the relationship.
