    Netizens Expose #7th Compound's Human Trafficking

    Netizens have exposed a human trafficking incident that occurred 25 years ago at the #7th Compound, previously managed by Wang Ye, A Qiu, and Su He. Victims were tricked by agents and resold to the compound. In January, when the compound wanted to dissolve, management refused to let the victims go. They were then sold off in batches to other companies, with victims being treated like animals. Those who resisted were beaten or electrocuted by security guards. The perpetrators made a significant amount of money and disappeared afterwards. Victims hope to avoid encountering them in Cambodia and believe in karma for retribution.
