At a February 25 commemoration of the December 12 National Anti-Human Trafficking Day, Deputy Prime Minister and Interior Minister Sar Sokha said Cambodia had deported over 30,000 foreign nationals linked to telecom and online fraud for handling by their home countries. He also reported around 210,000 voluntary departures. The event’s theme called for working together for a Cambodia free of human trafficking and online scams.
He said the government had strengthened prevention and crackdowns in recent years, combining enforcement with administrative measures and achieving initial results. Action against cross-border fraud and related crime, he said, was important for public order, Cambodia’s image and international credibility.
He thanked foreign diplomatic missions for helping verify identities, process repatriation and receive their citizens. The government reiterated that it would strengthen coordination between departments and international cooperation against online fraud, human trafficking and other transnational crime to improve safety and stability.
