Four alleged human-traffickers appeared in Phnom Penh Municipal Court yesterday charged with transporting young Cambodian women to China to be sold as brides.

The trial follows the arrests of Doeuk Meth, 52; Kheang Sengly, 31; Kheang Sorphea, 28; and Chinese national Liu Shiping, 35, at Phnom Penh International Airport in December 2013.

At the time of their arrest, they were allegedly attempting to oversee the departure of three women, aged between 19 and 23, on a flight bound for China.
