Authorities in the capital’s Daun Penh district rounded up dozens of sex workers on Monday night before sending them yesterday for “re-education” at the notorious Prey Speu detention centre, according to officials.

Kim Vutha, chief of the Daun Penh security guards, said 43 sex workers and 10 homeless people were arrested at city landmark Wat Phnom as part of ongoing efforts to rid Phnom Penh of its so-called “undesirables”.

“During the operation, we rounded up a lot of female sex workers and some homeless people,” he said.

The sex workers always appear at Wat Phnom at midnight to find customers to have sex with – it doesn’t look good for the city.”

Their crime was not prostitution...it was plying their trade at Wat Phnom...if officials rounded up all of the cities prostitutes the jails could not hold them all...

didn't they rid the country of 1 million undesirebles some decades ago ?

Authorities rounded up 23 more sex workers last night in the capital’s Daun Penh district, police officials said yesterday, marking the second night in a row such crackdowns occurred.

Daun Penh police chief Hoat Chan Yaran said the police found the sex workers, 22 women and one man, near Wat Phnom.

“They stood in a quiet place around Wat Phnom to find customers,” he said. “It’s not good – they know that authorities will round them up, but they come and stand here anyway.”

Nothing like a good Roundup to weed out those pesky undesirables and reeducate them in the proper way to do things I hope !!!!
