South Korea’s Ministry of Justice has become the second of that nation’s ministries to deny it is working with Cambodia’s ambassador to the country, Suth Dina, to clamp down on illegal migrants and political dissent. Since he was posted to Seoul in April 2014, Ambassador Dina has repeatedly warned anti-government protesters to stay away from demonstrations or face arrest and deportation.

Just days later, a video of Dina with three Cambodian workers appeared on his Facebook page, showing the men begging for leniency from Prime Minister Hun Sen for their role in a protest sparked by the January 2014 shooting deaths of at least four people at a garment worker protest in Phnom Penh at which they set alight a picture of the premier.
