Ministry probing NGO for role in CNN segment
Mon, 31 July 2017
The Interior Ministry has launched an investigation into a Christian NGO working in Cambodia, after a journalists union claimed they fabricated stories about child prostitution that were broadcast by international news networks CNN and ABC News.

Huy Vannak, an Interior Ministry undersecretary of state and the president of the Union of Journalist Federations of Cambodia, wrote a letter to CNN condemning the “serious errors” in their recent story The Cambodian girls sold for sex by their mothers, highlighting that the young women interviewed were ethnically Vietnamese. The headline was later changed.

At a press conference on Friday, anti-human trafficking police said they would investigate Agape International Ministries (AIM), run by American missionaries Don and Bridget Brewster, after Vannak claimed the pair had “twisted” facts for fundraising.
“The beautiful smile and dignity of Cambodian mothers and girls should not be distorted by AIM for their petty fundraising purpose,” he said.

Whch one? I noticed there is another one now. Around the vicinty of OM Rithy and Hanoi St.
Must be doing ok on all the MFI profits.

God it's hard to keep track of the pedos and their pursuers. I used to frequent Jars of Clay and knew something of their MO. But wasn't an accused pedo arrested as he exited the place a while ago. What happened to that guy?
Fuck it's busier than Calais up there.

You can't have your cake and eat it

Reports I've read about AIM's activities and their mission statement make me wonder if they're more intent on rescuing kids from Buddhism than human trafficking.

Sex trafficking, Buddhism; much the same sin to missionary folk.

This is the recent CNN update on their 2014 report that is causing a stir:

CNN Defends Child Trafficking Report From Government Rebuke
1 August 2017

In a brief statement on Monday, CNN defended its reporting, noting that the story focused on the progress Cambodia has made combating child sex trafficking since first reporting on Svay Pak four years ago.

“The stories revisit our original investigation from 2013 and clearly highlight the progress that has been made since by the authorities in Cambodia,” according to the statement. “We stand by our reporting.”
