The Cambodian police filed pornography charges against a 39-year-old Facebook user for selling products while wearing sexy clothes that allegedly undermine Khmer values and culture.
On 17 February 2020, Prime Minister Hun Sen attended the annual meeting of the Cambodian National Council for Women where he spoke about the need to probe and stop women from selling products on Facebook while wearing clothes that are contrary to social morality or ‘Khmer women’s values and Khmer culture’.
Two days later, the police posted on social media that they summoned Vann Rachana (known as Thai Srey Neang on Facebook) for questioning and education about her Facebook page featuring products such as women’s underwear and beauty accessories. She appeared in a video appealing for public forgiveness and vowed to stop wearing ‘revealing clothing’ on her Facebook page.
