Cambodia - Feb 20

A UN OHCHR mission aimed at helping dozens of Montagnard asylum seekers hiding in Ratanakkiri province is being blocked by local authorities. Authorities are not allowing the asylum seekers - who are part of an indigenous group from Vietnam - to travel in the area, unless they are leaving. Last year, the UN was repeatedly blocked by provincial forces in their attempt to save a group of Montagnards. General Sok Phal, director of the Immigration Department, has stated  that he was unaware of the trip. Source: The Phnom Penh Post
