    They shouldn’t be doing this, they should be protecting the lesser-known Khmer empire sites from looting, which keeps happening. Angkor Wat is safe from any additional looting at this point.

    Government is evicting Cambodians from around the entire complex, and Amnesty International criticized UNESCO for not standing up to the government.
