U.S. report on Cambodia's human trafficking "untrue, ludicrous:" Foreign Ministry
PHNOM PENH, June 24, 2013 (Xinhua) -- Cambodia's Ministry of Foreign Affairs dismissed U.S. report on the situation of human trafficking in Cambodia released last week as "untrue and ludicrous" in a statement issued Monday.
"Undoubtedly, in the report, there is plenty of untrue information on the situation of human trafficking in Cambodia," the ministry's spokesman said in the statement. "Many of the issues raised in the report are either made from general sweeping assumptions or lacking real evidence to prove. Therefore, many of those issues in the report were ludicrous." [who are the idiots who come up with these statements?]
The reaction was made after the U.S. State Department, in its 2013 Trafficking in Persons Report released last Thursday, downgraded Cambodia a notch to the Tier 2 Watch List--the scale's second-lowest rank--from Tier 2 for failing to demonstrate evidence of overall increasing efforts to address human trafficking in 2012.
Launched in Washington by U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry, the annual report described Cambodia as a source, transit, and destination country for men, women, and children subjected to forced labor and sex trafficking.
The report made very little recognition of the hard work and the sincere efforts of the Government of Cambodia in its fight against human trafficking, the statement said.

"Just in 2012 alone, real progress has been made. A total of 133 suspects related to human trafficking were arrested and 458 victims were rescued," it said. "At the meantime, about 300 suspects were convicted by the courts."

probably one of those biased report again. always one sided and prejudice toward cambodia. don't hate hun sen, he did nothing wrong or illegal as cambodia do not have terms limit law of now. so, if he continues to win in election; it shows majority of cambodian people in cambodia love him, and plus, he did a really good job for cambodia so far. let all play by the rule of law, like it or not, it's the law, you know! yes, there are more to cambodia than you and i, you know. learn to adopt, adapt, adjust and live with it! we want cambodia to flourish as well. may god bless my country cambodia and everything in it.
i'm sure cambodia strifes to improve our country's image, etc... the report should not be biased and reflects the country's efforts as well, you know! cambodia isn't that bad, really! god bless cambodia and everything in it as well.
don't hate cambodia because the country is beautiful. instead, enjoy your visit, etc, ok!

Dictator & Traitor Hun Sen and his regime said that the report on human trafficking is untrue and ludicrous, samething they said about Yuon occupation of Cambodia.
