According to a Chinese national operating a visa agency in Cambodia, local police conducted a sudden raid at the UK Apartment complex a few days ago. Officers inspected his apartment and found no illegal items, but ordered him downstairs with his passport for identity verification alongside residents from several countries. The contributor stated that Western, Japanese, and South Korean nationals were released on the spot, while Chinese passports were confiscated.
According to the source, detainees were subsequently hauled to a police station, where around 80 people were crammed into an unventilated 20-square-meter room with no space to sit for a day and a half. Despite having valid documentation and committing no infractions, detainees were allegedly told they would only walk free after paying cash through intermediaries.
Officers reportedly warned that those who failed to pay would be transferred to prison within two days to await court hearings, a process that can drag on for months or even half a year. The contributor claimed he eventually had to pay $5,000 to secure his release.
Selective enforcement and arbitrary detentions targeting Chinese nationals have become an open secret in Sihanoukville. When routine inspections devolve into extortion opportunities, holding proper legal documents offers little protection against unchecked authority.
