Amnesty links Cambodian licensed casinos to scam compounds and abuses

Amnesty International said its investigation identified at least 11 cases in which scam operations were located in facilities officially recognised as licensed casinos or other buildings. The organisation said Cambodian authorities approved casino projects between December 2025 and January 2026 while pursuing a nationwide campaign against scam operations. Amnesty called for investigations and accountability, saying at least a dozen facilities remained linked to torture, forced labour and human trafficking.
