Now I'm starting to get irritated.


Does it say where they rounded them up from?

But as of Wednesday afternoon, the government’s statistics on the roundup were grossly inconsistent with its partner NGOs, and with those of local rights group Licadho, which has been monitoring the effort and says more than 70 people had disappeared from the city’s streets.

“Just 36 people so far have been rounded up,” said City Hall spokesman Long Dimanche, by comparison.

“They were already sent to Pour un Sourire d’Enfant,” he said.

Truckloads of vagrants—including women, children and the elderly—were loaded into trucks Monday. Mr. Dimanche said 33 of the 36 were collected on that first day of the blitz.

However, Pin Sarapich, program director at Pour un Sourire d’Enfant, said City Hall’s claim that 36 people had been taken to his NGO was false...

Am Sam Ath, technical supervisor at Licadho... counted 70 or more people who had disappeared from Phnom Penh’s streets since City Hall announced the round up.

He said the discrepancies in the numbers raised fears about the fate of those who were unaccounted for.

“We are looking for them because we suspect those street people could have been sent to Prey Speu Social Affairs Center,” he said, referring to the notorious vocational training center in Pur Senchey district that has come under heavy criticism for allegations of abuse.
