Covid-19 measures implemented in prisons, UN special rapporteurs told
Wed, 3 February 2021
The Ministry of Interior said necessary measures had been taken in prisons throughout the country to prevent Covid-19 transmissions.
The assertion came in response to a letter from Rhona Smith, UN Special Rapporteur on human rights in Cambodia, and Tlaleng Mofokeng, Special Rapporteur on the right to health.
In their December 4 letter, Mofokeng and Smith inquired about measures implemented at prisons following a cluster outbreak in the community on November 28, in which prisons director-general Chhem Savuth had tested positive.
