The UK Foreign Office in Beijing has told the BBC it understands six British citizens held in northern China “will be deported soon”.<\/div>
 <\/div>
<\/div>
They are among 11 Britons, including two with dual British-South African nationality, who have been arrested. It is not clear why they are being held.<\/div>
 <\/div>
<\/div>
They are believed to be among 20 foreigners detained in Inner Mongolia on 10 July.<\/div>
 <\/div>
African charity Gift of the Givers claims they are tourists.<\/div>
 <\/div>
<\/div>
Gift of the Givers said on Facebook, that the group, comprising South Africans, Britons, and one Indian citizen, were arrested when they landed in Ordos airport.<\/div>
 <\/div>
<\/div>
It said Chinese authorities “suggested that some members were linked to a terror group” and were “watching propaganda videos in their hotel room”.<\/div>
 <\/div>
<\/div>
The charity said the group included some doctors and businessmen, none of whom had terror links.<\/div>
 <\/div>
UK officials have said they are “seeking further clarification” on the reason for the arrests, and that consular staff have visited the group to provide assistance.<\/div>
 <\/div>
