A Cambodian woman was arrested and sent to pre-trial detention yesterday for allegedly trafficking more than 20 Cambodian nationals to Malaysia to be domestic workers, according to a Phnom Penh Municipal Court spokesman.

Ly Sophana, spokesman for the court, said the woman, whom he did not identify, was arrested on Thursday and sent to the investigating judge on Friday on preliminary charges under Article 11 of the Anti-Trafficking Law – which deals with “unlawful removal for cross-border transfer” – and could face seven to 15 years in prison, 20 years if any women were found to be minors.

“The investigative judge decided to put her in pre-trial detention,” he said.
