Details scant for warrants issued in logging crackdown
The recently formed anti-illegal logging committee has issued 10 warrants against alleged illegal timber traders since it began its crackdown in January, officials have confirmed, although the details of those accused and the charges they face remain under wraps.
The committee’s spokesperson Eng Hy said on 6 March that since the group began scouring Cambodia’s eastern provinces in January, the Tbong Khmum and Mondulkiri provincial courts have issued 10 warrants for the arrest of people connected to illegal logging, but he declined to go into detail on the cases.
