PHNOM PENH: Cambodia on Aug 10 banned the game Pokemon Go from a former Khmer Rouge torture centre and prison after players showed up at the site, now a genocide museum, hunting for the virtual cartoon characters.
It is the latest effort to rein in enthusiasts of the game, which has been blamed for a rash of accidents and has prompted safety warnings after players glued to their phones stumbled, were robbed or wandered into dangerous places.
