Bavet City, Cambodia News: On May 9, 2019, the police force of the provincial immigration agency cooperated with Bavet City Administration Inspectorate, led by Colonel Khun Sam Sambath, Deputy Police Commissioner, and Ouk Bonna, Administrative Representative of Bavet City Administration, in an inspection of foreign workers' immigration documents.

The police went to four Bavet guesthouses where they are renting rooms to foreigners and checked the passports of 95 foreign nationals: 92 Chinese and 3 Vietnamese. 82 of the foreigners were women, and 13 of them had something wrong with their visas, presumably either overstay or no work visa.

Pailin, Cambodia News: On the evening of May 10, 2019, the Labor Inspection Team of Pailin province inspected two businesses for foreign workers working illegally in Phum Prum Village, Stung Kak Commune, Salak Ra District, Pailin Province.

In the first business targeted, immigration officers found two Thai nationals with valid visas and work permits. In the second location, inspectors found 4 foreign females of Chinese nationality, but only two of them had valid visas and work permits, so the other two women were taken away and detained by immigration authorities to be deported to China.

Thank you. Correction, think that should read as 37 workers and 2 Chinese nationals working without work permits.
1- Atavanh Aint, Chill Luk Village, O'Som Commune, Veal Veng District, Pursat Province, there are 37 workers at the site including 2 Chinese nationals without the correct documents.
