China has detained nine foreign nationals and deported 11 others for "violating laws and committing crimes" while they were on a tour of ancient sites, authorities said Wednesday.
Gift of the Givers, the charity that organized the tour, said that China had detained some of the group because of suspicions of alleged links to terror groups and for watching propaganda videos in their hotel rooms in a city in northern China. It stressed they had no terror links or criminal record.
"Twenty foreigners were suspected of violating laws and committing crimes in Ordos, Inner Mongolia, on July 11," China's foreign ministry said in a written statement to CNN.
The ministry did not address CNN's question on the reason for their detention.
