In the other case, a Chinese man called a tuktuk for his group, to go from Koh Pich to a condominium on Keo Chenda Street in Chroy Changvar commune, Phnom Penh. Going through the checkpoint, the group had no documents to show police, so was detained and forbidden to enter the zone.

Residents in Cambodia's capital gathered on Friday to demand food from the government, outraged at what they called inadequate aid distribution during a tough COVID-19 lockdown that bars people from leaving their homes...

Amnesty International on Friday called Cambodia's lockdown an emerging humanitarian and human rights crisis, with nearly 294,000 people in Phnom Penh at risk of going hungry.

"The Cambodian government's outrageous mishandling of this COVID-19 lockdown is causing untold suffering and sweeping human rights violations," Yamini Mishra, its Asia-Pacific regional director, said in a statement.

^ These accusations of starving the local red zone population of Phnom Penh, made by international media and HR organizations, seem to be at the heart of the abrupt ban on journalists in Phnom Penh's "Red Zones". Please pay attention what you post here on CEO also.

Another police try their hand at using the fishing net to convince one of HE’s children to come in for quarantine and testing.

Don’t bother finding the video. Facebook already took it down.
