China also pointed to a low conviction rate for fraud suspects sent to Taiwan in the past. PhotoHONG KONG — Taiwan protested on Monday after five of its people were deported from Kenya to China, where they are wanted on suspicion of telecommunications fraud. China, which often relies on confessions in such cases, has said that the 45 people from Taiwan deported from Kenya in April have admitted guilt. Some of the suspects from Taiwan were filmed barricading themselves in a jail cell in Kenya in an attempt to avoid being sent to China. The deportations follow similar ones in April, when 45 people from Taiwan, accused of being part of the same fraud ring, were sent from Kenya to China.
