Two Cambodian journalists have been detained and charged by police with incitement and for causing serious disruption to social security after broadcasting a video online that they said showed victims in a scam compound being tortured.
Human rights group Licadho named the pair as Duong Akhara and Lay Socheat, who work for SA TV and Cambodia Star Daily News 24/24, respectively, saying the video showed a man handcuffed to a metal pole and being tortured.
It said both journalists were known for regularly publishing pro-government content and were detained in Correctional Center 1 prison late last week after their news outlets shared a video they also claimed was shot inside a cyber scam compound in Cambodia.
