The Sam Rainsy Party (SRP) strongly condemns the inhumane refoulement (repatriation) to China by the Cambodian government of the 20 ethnic Uighurs who fled to Cambodia earlier this month, in fear of imprisonment and possible death sentence over the violent riots last summer in Xinjiang region. The SRP strongly believes that the Cambodian government was fully aware of such reality but it has chosen to give a loud and clear signal to the world community that it has chosen to disregard its obligation to the 1951 Convention relating to Refugees.
The fate of the ethnic Uighurs as well as other asylum seekers who are inhumanely repatriated to their country of origin, must not be forgotten by the world community. Close monitoring of their treatment by the international community and the UN must continue and reported to the UN General Secretary for their safety and security and for the protection and their human rights.
