CAMBODIA yesterday deported a Chinese woman convicted of desecrating photos of the country's recently deceased former king in front of enraged factory workers.
National police spokesman Lieutenant General Kirt Chantharith said Wang Zia Chao left Cambodia on an early morning flight to return to Guangdong Province in southern China.
A Cambodian court on Tuesday gave the garment factory supervisor a one-year suspended jail sentence and fined her 2.5 million riel (US$620) for seizing pictures of former King Norodom Sihanouk from workers and destroying them. She had accused employees of shirking their work, and they marched in protest after her action to demand punishment.
The supervisor worked at one of the many garment factories in and around the capital Phnom Penh.
Tuesday was the end of a week of official mourning for Sihanouk, who died at age 89 in Beijing on October 15. His body was returned to Cambodia on October 17.
Tens of thousands of people, including many Buddhist monks, massed on the last day of mourning outside the Royal Palace, where Sihanouk's body is being kept until it is cremated.
