Cambodia cracked down on 198 human trafficking and sexual exploitation cases in the first six months of 2021, a remarkable rise from only 63 cases over the same period last year, a senior official has announced.
Some 139 cases involved human trafficking and 59 cases related to sexual exploitation, the Interior Ministry’s secretary of state Chou Bun Eng said during a virtual meeting.
“During the crackdowns, our law enforcement agents had arrested a total of 291 suspects and rescued 721 victims,” she said.
