Hun Sen warns ambulances and army vehicles to cease smuggling people across lockdown areas and inter-provinces

In an audio message this afternoon, Prime Minister Hun Sen, who apparently learnt of people being smuggled across districts and provinces in defiance of lock down rules and a ban on inter-provincial travel, has warned that these acts constitute human smuggling and the full weight of the law will fall on the violators.

He warned authorities not to allow ambulances, armed forces vehicles or any other vehicles with priority travel to smuggle people, including by trucks. The movement of people from one province to another is forbidden with the enforcement of the ban on inter-state travel.

The Prime Minister said that in the past, some people sneaked out from Phnom Penh to Prey Veng and Kratie provinces and were found to be COVID-19 positive in those provinces. Therefore, this case must be tightened and eliminated.
