Available since last Saturday in Cambodia, the application Pokémon Go is already polemic. In issue, the choice by the famous game of the prison at Tuol Sleng in Phnom Penh as a place of hunting.
In the 1970s, thousands of prisoners died in this former Khmer Rouge prison, known under the name of S-21 and today museum of genocide. "It is an insult for the souls of the victims who died here," is outraged Bou Meng, a sexagénaire survivor of Tuol Sleng, adding that "it is a place of suffering. This is not appropriate to play this game here."

The guardians of the museum of genocide Tuol Sleng have on their side confirmed having expelled several hunters of virtual creatures, taken by train to play in the enclosure of the museum.
Chhay Visoth, the director, has not specified whether it was going to ask the developer of Pokémon Go, Niantic, delete the place of its application, as this has already been done for some places.
