Amnesty International is releasing shocking footage providing first-hand evidence of the inhumane conditions and extreme overcrowding inside one of Cambodia’s prisons.
The organization recently called the country’s detention facilities a “ticking time bomb” for a potentially disastrous coronavirus outbreak.
“These deplorable conditions make a mockery of ‘physical distancing’ and show the Cambodian authorities’ utter neglect for these inmates’ basic rights, even during a pandemic,” said David Griffiths, Director in the Office of the Secretary-General at Amnesty International.
