| DHARAMSHALA, August, 11: Pakistan deported five ethnic  Uyghur immigrants back to China on Tuesday amidst fear that they will face harsh  punishment upon return.
 The Pakistani newspaper Dawn reported that five  “Chinese citizens” who were “blindfolded and handcuffed” were flown off to  Urmuqi, the capital of East Turkestan.
 
 "The deportation of Uyghurs are  common nowadays, but it is very rare to be exposed to the media," said Omer  Khan, founder of the Omer Uyghur Foundation in the Pakistani capital of  Islamabad.
