PHNOM PENH, March 13 (Xinhua) -- Cambodia has suspended a provincial prison chief and three other prison officers after a recently leaked video clip purportedly showed a crowd of prisoners using smartphones.
Interior Minister Sar Sokha signed an order to suspend them from their jobs on Tuesday and a copy of the order was publicized on Friday.
The suspension came after a video clip went viral on social media last month, showing a group of prisoners using smartphones in a crowded cell.
Inmates are strictly prohibited from using personal phones in the Southeast Asian country.
The kingdom's prisons are home to approximately 57,000 inmates, according to the Ministry of Interior. Enditem
