Cambodia shuts Australian-run orphanage

CAMBODIAN authorities have shut an orphanage run by an Australian woman amid allegations of children being beaten and human trafficking taking place.

Officials and a rights group said on Monday that police raided the unlicensed orphanage, called Love in Action, in the capital, Phnom Penh, and rescued 21 children.

Gratianne Quade, a spokeswoman for SISHA, an anti-trafficking organisation in Cambodia, said an Australian woman who ran the orphanage was not arrested in the raid on Friday and her current whereabouts was not known.

Um Sophanara, an official at the Social Affairs Ministry, which oversees orphanages, confirmed the closure, but declined to give details.

A SISHA statement said the raid came after several groups of children had fled the orphanage recently and reported a variety of neglect and abuse problems to authorities.
