Human rights groups have called on the British foreign secretary, Dominic Raab, to intervene over the detention of three young environmental activists when he meets Cambodian leaders on Wednesday in efforts to build trade ties between the two countries.
The activists, who were arrested at the weekend, face up to 10 years in jail for insulting the Cambodian king. Their case has been raised by environmental activist Greta Thunberg and NGO groups in the country.
This visit is all about money, not telling people who they should not lock up.

Re: British Foreign Minister Arrives on Cambodian Visit
Hopefully while he's here he'll drop in to the worlds worst and most embarrassing foreign embassy and sort out the shit-fuckery that goes on there.
If I'd known he was coming I seriously would have organised some kind of action to draw attention to the plight of us Brits out here who, as the pandemic clearly demonstrated, don't have a functioning embassy to turn to in time of crisis.

As I understand it, Ambassadors don't quarantine, and diplomats self isolate wherever they choose.PSD-Kiwi wrote:Missed that visit.
Appears the UK Foreign Minister isn't undergoing quarantine, has been in face to face meetings with Govt officials already according to the PPP.
Therfore Raab can hit the ground running, in jeans and a casual blazer.
