A Cambodian woman who was lured to China posted a video on Facebook pleading for help from Prime Minister Hun Sen.
The National Anti-Human Trafficking and Juvenile Protection Police confirmed that a 22 year old Cambodian woman named Sem Srey Phech had reported that she was deceived to work in China illegally and was suffering unbearable abuse. The woman asked for help on Facebook hoping that Prime Minister Hun Sen would help her return home.
The National Police rapid response team received the woman's Facebook details on October 8 and immediately launched an investigation to verify the claims. In the 1:49 long video released by the woman she said that she was lured to work illegally in China by an intermediary two years ago. The Cambodian National Police contacted Chinese police and requested cooperation.
On October 12, the Cambodian Consulate in Shanghai cooperated with Chinese police and successfully rescued the woman. The woman is temporarily housed in the Shanghai Consulate and is expected to return to Cambodia by the end of October.
A Chinese businessman said that it is common for Cambodian women to complain about being lured to go to China to work, but there are also Cambodian women who go to China voluntarily. After having financial problems or being abused they often can not leave when they want and claim that to have been cheated. "It's almost the same as the young Chinese people who come to Cambodia to work with online gambling and then claim that they were cheated", he said.
