    ¶1.  (U) Summary:  During the second quarter of 2006, the Cambodian
    police conducted 17 operations which resulted in the arrest of 26
    traffickers and pimps as well as the rescue of 20 trafficking
    victims.  Four foreign nationals, including an American citizen,
    were  arrested for sex crimes against children.  NGOs reported four
    court cases during the period, with conviction ranges from 5 to 10
    years imprisonment.  Reported abuses of labor migrants to Malaysia
    have increased, leading to concern for a better monitoring
    mechanism.  End Summary.

    prostitution.  The victim agreed to go to Malaysia with the suspect
    in July 2005, believing she had a job in a caf, but instead she was
    placed in a brothel.  After returning home to Cambodia in March, the
    victim submitted a complaint against the suspect for luring her into
    prostitution in Malaysia.  Currently, the suspect is in pretrial
    detention.

    ¶3.  (U)  On April 4, Police of the Phnom Penh Anti-TIP Unit arrested
    three Vietnamese women, one of whom is the mother of the victim, for
    selling and buying an 11 month-old baby girl for 70000 riel (USD18).
     The suspects were sent to court, and the baby was referred to an
    orphanage.

    ¶4.  (U)  On April 8, in cooperation with NGO Action Pour Les Enfants
    (APLE), the Phnom Penh Anti-TIP unit arrested a Belgian national for
    sexually abusing a underage boy.  The man confessed to abusing the
    boy on a number of occasions. He was charged with debauchery and is
    under detention.

    ¶5. (SBU)  In late April, the Battambang Anti-Trafficking Unit, in
    cooperation with NGO International Justice Mission (IJM), conducted
    a proactive investigation on a beer garden/brothel in Battambang.
    The investigation led to a raid, resulting in the arrest of the pimp
    and removal of ten sex workers.  Police closed down the
    establishment.  IJM reported that Battambang provincial court
    charged the suspect with pimping, but later released him on bail.

    families.  The suspect was charged with human-trafficking.

    ¶7.  (SBU)  On May 2, the MOI Anti-TIP Police and Siem Reap Police
    commissariat, arrested an owner of a Karaoke parlor in the province
    for pimping seven women.  One of the women was trafficked from Phnom
    Penh, and her parents submitted a complaint.  Police referred the
    women to AFESIP.  The brothel was closed for a while but reportedly
    reopened.  (Note:  AFESIP reported that six of the seven women have
    left the shelter.  Two of them filed complaints against AFESIP for
    detaining them against their will and physically abusing them.
    AFESIP denied the charges, saying it is not in the interest of
    AFESIP to abuse victims.  End Note.)

    ¶8.  (U)  The MOI's Anti-TIP police conducted a proactive
    investigation of a Phnom Penh brothel which led to a raid of the
    brothel on May 4. This raid resulted in the arrest of a Vietnamese
    pimp and removal of five Vietnamese sex workers.  The suspect was
    charged with pimping.  Another suspected pimp escaped. The women
    returned to their families.

    ¶9.  (U)  On May 9, the Phnom Penh Anti-TIP unit cooperated with
    AFESIP to raid a Phnom Penh brothel, removing six involuntary sex
    workers, aged between 23 and 28, and arresting two individuals.
    Police sent one of the arrested to court to face pimping charges and
    released the other for lack of evidence.  The women returned to
    their families.

    ¶10.  (SBU)  AFESIP reported that on May 10, after receiving a
    mother's complaint, the police of the Ministry of Interior went to
    Battambang province to rescue a 14-year-old missing girl.  The girl
    was lured by her peers from Phnom Penh to Battambang province.
    AFESIP said that the perpetrators intended to traffic the girl to
    Thailand.  Police found the girl in a Battambang club under the
    influence of drugs.  Police arrested three suspects and charged them
    with trafficking.  (Note: The girl in question is the daughter of

    PHNOM PENH 00001235  002 OF 004

    Somaly Mam, AFESIP's President.  Somaly complimented the police on
    their great cooperation to find her daughter. End Note.)

    ¶11.  (U)  On the same day, the police of the Sihanoukville Anti-TIP
    Unit cooperated with APLE to arrest a German national for sexually
    abusing four underage boys.  The boys, aged between 12 and 14,
    testified that the suspect abused them.  He reportedly used monetary
    benefits to entice the street children.  APLE said that they had
    been investigating the man for five months.

    ¶12.  (SBU)  On May 31, the Phnom Penh Anti-TIP Unit arrested two
    owners of a Phnom Penh caf for providing three underage girls for
    sexual service.  The three victims aged 15 and 16 were taken to WHI
    shelter.  The suspects are under pretrial detention.

    ¶13.  (U)  On June 1, the Anti-TIP Phnom Penh Unit raided a
    foreign-owned pub, and arrested two suspects (French and Vietnamese)
    and removed four women.  The raid was the result of a proactive

    of age, and were sent to WHI shelter.  An adult woman was sent to
    AFESIP shelter.  The suspects have been charged with pimping.

    ¶14.  (U)  On June 2, the Koh Kong Police cooperated with the Thai
    authorities to arrest a Cambodian man for trafficking a Cambodian
    woman for prostitution.  The man is an owner of a Thailand-based
    brothel along the Cambodia border.  The 20 year old victim is  from
    Pursat province and went to Thailand for better economic
    opportunities.  After managing to return home to Cambodia in March,
    she submitted a complaint to police against the suspect for luring
    her into prostitution.  Police investigated and eventually obtained
    an arrest warrant from the Koh Kong provincial court.  Police are
    seeking to arrest another accomplice.

    ¶15.  (U)  According to AFESIP, another proactive investigation of
    the Phnom Penh Anti-TIP Unit led to a raid and arrest on June 12 of
    two individuals and rescue of three women who were sent to AFESIP
    and WHI.  The suspects were charged with pimping.

    ¶16.  (U)  On June 17, MOI Anti-TIP Department and the Phnom Penh

    underage victims.  On June 20, the prosecutor of the Phnom Penh
    Municipal Court charged the five suspects with debauchery, human
    trafficking, and conspiracy in human trafficking.  The suspects are

    AFESIP's care.  The raid was initiated by the parents of a
    Vietnamese victim who submitted a complaint to the Vietnamese
    authorities, which in turn forwarded it to Cambodian police.  The
    brothel was closed.

    Victims Escaping On Their Own
    -----------------------------

    ¶18.  (U)  ADHOC reported the trafficking case of a 18 year-old
    victim from Poipet.  The victim was tricked by a Vietnamese couple
    at her home in Poipet and sent to a brothel in Thailand.  She was

    ¶20.  (U)  CWCC received another trafficking case on June 16,
    involving a 13 year-old victim, who was lured and drugged by an
    unknown man to a brothel-like venue.  She eventually made her escape
    and went to CWCC.  Police are investigating.

    ------------
    Court Cases
    ------------

    ¶21.  (U)  On April 19, the Kampong Cham provincial court conducted
    the hearing of an abduction case involving a 15 year old victim.
    The suspect was arrested in November 2005 while he was attempting to
    abduct the girl.  The court acquitted the suspect because the victim
    and her parents withdrew their complaint.

    PHNOM PENH 00001235  003 OF 004

    ¶22.  (U)  On April 24, the Phnom Penh Municipal court tried an
    Australian national, who was arrested in December 2005 for
    debauchery and taking pornographic pictures of children.  He was
    sentenced to ten years imprisonment and ordered to pay civil
    compensation of 500 USD to each of his six victims.

    ¶23.  (U)  On June 20, the Phnom Penh Court sentenced two individuals
    to five years imprisonment for pimping.  The Phnom Penh Anti-TIP
    Unit arrested the convicts in September 2005 for operating a
    brothel.

    ¶24.  (U)  On June 21, the Phnom Penh Municipal court opened the
    trial of a pimping case and sentenced three suspects to five and six
    years of imprisonment.  The suspects were arrested in January for
    pimping three women aged 24 and 25.

    ------------
    Other Issues
    ------------

    ¶25.  (U)  According to CWCC, during the reporting period the NGO has
    received four complaints from Cambodian women who either are going
    or have been to Malaysia through the government-licensed labor
    exporting companies.  The women reported being strictly controlled
    by the companies during their pre-departure training and were
    physically abused during their work in Malaysia.  They added that
    the company refused to help them get out of the exploited situation,
    because they were bound by a working contract. The company told them
    to pay off the debt incurred for their travel.  These cases
    highlight a need for monitoring a mechanism to ensure the safety and
    well being of Cambodian workers abroad.

    ¶26.  (SBU)  NGOs noted some difficulties in obtaining police
    cooperation (Reftel C).   IJM claimed that police performance was
    worse during the first six months of the year compared to last year
    but reported a marked improvement in cooperation towards the end of
    June.  AFESIP reported having submitted nine cases to the
    Commissioner General of the National Police for action during the
    reporting period, but only one has resulted in an arrest and rescue.
     The remainder are either under police investigation or somewhere in
    the chain of the command structure.

    ¶27.  (SBU)  A raid conducted on April 20 in Siem Reap province by
    the police of the Anti-TIP Department resulted in no arrests or
    rescues.  The infamous Vimean Pkay Prak brothel closed down a day
    before the police raid.  AFESIP told us that during their
    investigation that they found underage girls being housed in that
    establishment for sexual purposes.  A newspaper article reported
    that this business was connected with a high-ranking government
    official.  (Note: During Emboffs investigation in the province in
    March, POLOFF also found out that this establishment offered
    underage girl for services upon clients' demand.  End Note.)

    ¶28.  (SBU)  ADHOC reported receiving a victim of trafficking from
    the Stung Treng Anti-TIP police on May 15.  The woman, 22 years-old,
    originated from Kratie province.  She went to Stung Treng in June
    last year for a USD30 per month job with the help of a facilitator.
    Later, the owner told the victim that she owed USD250 for the
    commission for the facilitator and jewelry she brought for her, and
    that she had to work as a prostitute to pay it off.  The victim
    reluctantly agreed and went to work in a brothel.  But after almost
    a year of prostitution, the owner told her that she had to continue
    working to pay another USD150 for incrementing interests of the
    USD250 owed.  The pimp would not let the victim leave unless she
    paid the amount demanded.  The victim then called the Anti-TIP
    police for help.  Police rescued her and sent her to ADHOC.
    However, police did not arrest the pimp or close down the brothel.
    According to ADHOC, police thought that this was merely a conflict
    between the two parties.

    ¶29.  (U)  The Cambodian Police, at the request of the U.S. FBI,
    arrested an American Citizen Richard Debski on June 29.  Richard
    Debski has been wanted by the U.S. FBI for sex crimes he committed
    against children in the US.  Cambodian Immigration police said that
    Cambodia made the arrest to satisfy FBI request made to the
    Commissioner General of the National Police.  Cambodian police have
    not attempted to investigate Depski for other crimes he may have
    committed in Cambodia.

    ¶30.  (U)  At a two day conference in June in Ho Chi Minh City
    organized by Cambodia's Ministry of Interior, its Vietnamese
    counterpart and UNODC, Cambodia and Vietnam agreed to step up
    cooperation to fight cross-border human trafficking.  As part of the
    implementation of Cambodia-Vietnam MOU signed in October 2005, both
    countries will create and share a list of suspects and trafficking
    rings between the two countries.  The head of Cambodian delegation,
    General Un Sokunthea, expressed her commitment to work closely with
    Vietnam to tighten control over trafficking of Vietnamese women and

    PHNOM PENH 00001235  004 OF 004

    children into and inside Cambodia.
