This report describes human rights violations in Cambodia's prisons in 2002 and 2003. It identifies several urgent issues in Cambodia's prisons: severe overcrowding, children and minors in prison, bribes and corruption and torture. These violations of prisoners' human rights occur despite legal protections set out in international and national law which Cambodian authorities are required to respect.

LICADHO urges the government to take immediate and concerted action to remedy the inadequate conditions of Cambodia's prisons and to address the human rights abuses which are documented.
