Too me a few of them don't look quiet there, if you know what I'm getting at. But I am also waiting for the so many ongoing kidnapping gangs to say "we did it because we are trapped" in Cambodia. Still it says in the above - the group of suspects appeared to the public and were sent to the Phnom Penh Municipal Court for further proceedings. But I don't recall of any convicted of this crime.

They have been caught for commiting a crime, so that can account for some of their facial expressions. But, it looks too like they have been woken maybe from sleep, or they have been drinking or taking drugs, or that they are just inbred simpletons to word it nicely for a gang of lowlife kidnappers.

and it goes all the way to the top of Chinese society with the state kidnapping and holding all the Uighurs. The only difference is that no amount of ransom will get them back.
