Cambodia on Monday burned down 7.62 tons of drugs and illegal substances to mark the International Day against Drug, officials said.
Gen. Chuon Sovann, vice chairman of the National Authority for Combating Drugs (NACD), set fire on the drugs at a ceremony held on the southern outskirts of capital Phnom Penh.
Phnom Penh Municipal Court’s prosecutor Chreng Khmao said the destruction of the drugs clearly demonstrated the kingdom’s firm commitment to combating all kinds of illicit drugs.
“A total of 7.62 tons of illicit drugs and illegal substances used for drug manufacturing was destroyed,” he said at the event. “The courts won’t tolerate any drug criminals. We will punish them severely.”
