Cambodia detains over 200 in second human trafficking raid

Cambodian authorities have conducted their second raid within two weeks on human trafficking cartels and detained more than 200 Chinese and Pakistani nationals from a compound suspected of being used for scam operations and “pig butchering.”

A report said more than 600 traffickers and victims – including Nepalese and Thais – had been netted in the southern Phnom Penh suburb of Stung Meanchey after a complaint that people were being held against their will in the complex was lodged with police.

However, government officials are remaining tight-lipped, declining to comment on the raids despite police confirmation and details handed out to independent journalists.
