Hundreds of Chinese residents in Cambodia have been arbitrarily arrested and detained, allegedly as part of a crackdown on telecom fraud. Detainees report being held in poor conditions, with no food or water provided, and being forced to pay for basic necessities. They also allege that they are being extorted for release, with fees ranging from $15,000 to $30,000. Despite having identification, many were arrested, and some have been detained for over a week without being allowed to make a statement. The detainees claim that they are not involved in any fraudulent activities and question the lack of human rights and laws in Cambodia.
