Re: Authorities Blacklist Rebels MC Cambodia (Motorcycle Club) from Entering Country

The list wasn't drawn up out of thin air, nor were the crack investigators in the CNP behind this listing. I would look to the AFP for answers. Well if the AFP are behind it, they need new investigators as the only 3 folk targeted so far have little to do with the Rebels proper and are definitely n...
