You seem sceptical.

Edit: corrected a shameful spelling mistake.

If you used a k, it's not a mistake, just an alternative.

Zaman International School has reached out to CEO, so we have edited the article to reflect what they have told us. Here is what they have sent us:

"Thanks so much for your help with this. I understand things may have been confusing previously when people were contacting you. I also understand that this was something that was reported in court and as a newspaper/media advocate I certainly hold nothing against a publication/news outlet for printing what was reported from court.

However, once the School corrected this everyone has come on board and corrected the statement which is certainly false.

It's a shame because having worked at Zaman for a year I can say the School does so much for charity and the local community. Some of the teachers are truly inspirations because of the way their own country has treated them. Even when false information is released, as we recently saw, the School is still very much about building strong relationships with anyone involved with Cambodia in a positive manner. All they have wanted is a correction to what was printed and there hasn't been even the mention of anything else regarding the matter.

Maybe it's late for the statement but a correction to the original story would be very much appreciated. I include the statement below and if you wish to use that great style you have when reporting news to make something more of this (as long as it does not defame Zaman and does correct what was false) then I'll be interested to see what you come up with!

Zaman International School (ZIS) writes to correct a false statement which was recently included on Cambodia Expats Online on July 27.

Ogbonna Wisdom Prince, when charged in a Cambodian court with offences relating to human trafficking, stated that he was a ZIS student and football coach.

The school has total confidence in its refute of this statement and can assure readers that Ogbonna has never been a student nor an employee on any ZIS campus. He is unknown by ZIS and has no relation whatsoever to its three schools.

Thanks again for all your help!"

Hang them already.
