After asking for aid on TikTok, a Cambodian woman gained the attention of the Cambodian government and was rescued.

 

The Cambodian woman was rescued from China after four years of maltreatment by her Chinese husband, during which time she was forbidden from contacting her relatives. She called for help from the Prime Minister via the popular app TikTok, unable to take the load and agony. “Please Samdech Hun Sen, assist me return to Cambodia,” she begged in the TikTok video.

 

The Cambodian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Chinese authorities intervened to help after her appeal for help was disseminated through the app and gained the attention of the administration.

 

In a report to local press on September 21, the Secretary of State of the Ministry of Interior, Chou Bun Eng, verified this.

 

The victim's identify is unknown. According to the Secretary, a 25-year-old female from Nanchang, Jiangxi Province, China, was at Sopeak. The victim is currently in the custody of Chinese police, who are conducting legal actions. “Professional officers are on the lookout for the brokers,” she added.
