Event Summary

The Foreign Office Spokesperson Tahir R. Andrabi announced that Cambodia agreed to repatriate 54 Pakistani nationals detained in Siem Reap Province. These individuals were arrested following a raid on a scamming compound. The Pakistan Embassy in Cambodia actively pursued the matter with the Cambodian Government, following instructions from Deputy Prime Minister/Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar to prioritize facilitating Pakistani communities abroad. As a goodwill gesture, Cambodia will repatriate the detainees without legal proceedings under its new 'Law on Combating Online Scams', which came into effect on April 7, 2026. Flight arrangements are being finalized for their return.
