Hundreds of trafficking survivors from Africa are reportedly stranded in Cambodia. Many of these individuals have been left without shelter as authorities implement a widespread crackdown on scam compounds across the country.
The current situation affects individuals who were previously exploited within these scam operations. The crackdown has disrupted the illegal networks but has also left many survivors in a precarious state, lacking support and a safe place to stay.
In a related development, a scam center situated near the border with Thailand was shut down. The Thai military was responsible for closing the facility, where handcuffs were discovered during the operation.
According to ABC News Australia, the discovery of handcuffs suggests the nature of the operations within these centers, where victims may have been held against their will.
