Vietnamese Embassy in Cambodia active in citizen protection

On the day, Cambodian forces raided several hired houses in Niroth ward, Chbar Ampov district, Phnom Penh, arresting 84 Vietnamese people for illegal residence. They were then brought to the Cambodian General Department of Immigration’s Detention Centre for Foreigners.

After being informed of the case, the Foreign Ministry directed the Embassy to work with local offices to carry out necessary citizen protection measures.

The eEmbassy requested the General Department to free the arrestees as most of them are Vietnamese Cambodians residing legally in the country. As of July 3rd, all of them were set free./.
