Beginning in the middle of June, the Cambodian government has swept up hundreds of people who use drugs, sex workers, and homeless people following passage of a USA-backed anti-human trafficking law.  People have been detained without charges in Khmer Rouge era camps in appalling conditions, without access to HIV and TB medications and other healthcare. Soon after the crisis started, Korsang, a Phnom Penh based harm reduction organization, went 24-7 to provide housing, nutrition, medical care and harm reduction services to scores of people in danger of detention.  In this interview, Korsang co-founder Holly Bradford talks about what’s going on, and what Korsang needs to keep people safe. You can help Korsang by donating through the Chicago Recovery Alliance (be sure to write Korsang in the ‘Designation’ line). The situation in Phnom Penh is desperate for thousands of people served by Korsang, and every bit helps.
