Cambodia’s claim to have ended scam compounds met with scepticism

Cambodian authorities have announced the eradication of illegal scam compounds within the country. The government’s assertion follows a period of international scrutiny regarding the prevalence of human trafficking and forced labor operations linked to these facilities.

Despite the official declaration, the claim has been met with scepticism from human rights organizations, including Amnesty International, and various industry experts. These parties have questioned the validity of the government's progress, suggesting that the issue of scam operations remains a significant concern.
