Amnesty Report Accuses Cambodia of Enabling Brutal Billion-Dollar Scam Industry

  • Amnesty International published a report revealing mass-scale abuses and growing scam compounds in Cambodia where trafficked victims endure forced labor and torture.
  • The report attributes the expansion of at least 53 scam compounds mainly to Cambodian government inaction amid corruption, despite some law enforcement raids.
  • Survivors, including an 18-year-old Thai man held for seven months and tortured in 2023, describe brutal conditions and coercion to scam victims worldwide.
  • The scam industry, generating over $12.5 billion annually, employs mostly non-Cambodians and demands monthly targets of one million baht , with most workers unpaid.
  • Amnesty and experts urge the Cambodian government to act effectively to end abuses and shut down these compounds, warning that current measures remain woefully insufficient.
