Cambodia detains over 1,000 foreigners after trafficking tip-off

Arrests follow South Korea media investigations into scam compounds.

More than 1,000 foreigners, mostly Chinese nationals, have been detained by Cambodian authorities following a tip by South Korean media that probed complaints of its citizens being tricked and trafficked into scam compounds.

One report said they were all believed to be involved with torture, while another said the numbers included Chinese and South Koreans who had been trafficked into a compound named as Mango Park in central Kampong Speu province.

The arrests on Oct. 24 followed an investigative story by the South Korean KBS news outlet into trafficked Koreans with the alleged collusion of local police authorities.
