Three foreigners, who were reportedly detained to work in a Chinese company in Sihanoukville, have been taken into custody by authorities.
The news has been confirmed today by General Khieu Sopheak, Secretary of State and spokesman for the Ministry of Interior.
The three people contacted the hotline of Minister Sar Kheng’s team to seek assistance from authorities, reporting that they were being detained by the company in Sihanoukville.
The 3 have been named as:
Sath Chap, Male, 35 years old, Cambodian-American (over 2 year overstay on visa),
Daniel Wayne Scott , 43-year-old male, American (lost passport for 2 years)
Plasidia Retta Riama, female, 31 years old, Indonesian (lost passport for 2 years).
According to General Khieu Sopheak, after searching, the three people were found on on August 18, 2022, staying in their room in Sihanoukville with no outside locks or guards in front of the room.
However, the three of them asked for mediation to return to Phnom Penh.
According to the testimony of Sath Chap to the authorities, he said that during August 2021, he entered Cambodia through the Phnom Penh International Airport to visit for tourism.
He has worked in computer science for four companies.
After working for the third company for half a month, the company transferred him to work at the Jinbei 4 Computer Company in Village 4, Sangkat 4, Sihanoukville, where the recruiter received a $ 4,000 referral and he received a salary of $ 900.
After working for the company for three months, he wanted to quit because the company offered him a one-year contract.
At each workplace, he received a full salary, and he was not beaten or imprisoned, but was not allowed to go out.
US Citizen Daniel Wayne Scott said that during August 2019, he and his wife Retta Riama came to Cambodia through the Phnom Penh International Port and volunteered as a teacher for two years in Phnom Penh.
During January 2022, his wife met an Indonesian man and a Filipino woman, who offered them many jobs but with low salaries.
At that time, he met Ah Li, a Taiwanese man, and Jackie Trio, a Chinese man.
The two hired him to work for Jinbei 4 Computer Company.
In the first month, he was paid $ 500 and his wife $ 300.
In the second and subsequent months, he received a base salary of $ 800 and worked well for the company.
The company paid him a bonus in addition to the base salary.
Because he was worried about his wife’s health, he asked his boss to stop working, but the boss told him to meet with Jackie Trio, and when he met Jackie Trio, he became angry and used violence.
The 3 foriegners then contacted the hotline and were taken by authorities into protective custody on the 18th of August.
