PHNOM PENH - A Cambodian woman has been provisionally charged with disseminating pornography after defying a police crackdown on women who wear skimpy clothing while selling goods on Facebook.
Police said Rachna was re-arrested in the afternoon as she posted a photo of herself in her underwear soon after being released. Charges of producing and distributing pornography carry prison terms of up to one year. Selling clothing and beauty products via Facebook live streams is a rising trend in Cambodia, a conservative country where many expect women to be submissive and quiet, a legacy of Chab Srey, an oppressive code of conduct for women.
Amnesty International said Rachna, 39, was"coerced" to sign a confession and film the apology, in which she promised to cover up. It criticised the prime minister's comments on sexual violence as"victim blaming".
