Refugee Deal Signed Off By Cambodian & Australian Ministers

PHNOM PENH, CAMBODIA - SEPTEMBER 26: Cambodian Interior Minister Sar Kheng asks the press to calm down at the doors of the Ministry of Interior where a deal to transfer refugees from Australia to Cambodia has been signed moments before on September 26, 2014 in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. After months of negotiations between Australia and Cambodia, Australian Immigration Minister Scott Morrison and Cambodian Interior Minister Sar Kheng have signed an agreement today to transfer refugees from Australia to Cambodia. The deal, which entails Cambodia accepting 1,000 refugees currently held on Nauru Island in exchange for a reported USD $40 million, has been heavily criticised due to what many people say is a lack of refugee infrastructure and a poor human rights record in Cambodia.
