PHNOM PENH — Cambodia's premier said Monday that nobody will be brought to justice over a festival stampede last week that left more than 350 people dead, adding the tragedy was the result of a "joint mistake".
"Nobody will be punished for the incident," Prime Minister Hun Sen said at the inauguration of a new government building in the capital.
"We were careless," he added. "This was a joint mistake that nobody expected."
Cambodia's annual water festival ended in tragedy last Monday after crowds panicked on an overcrowded bridge leading to an island that was one of the main event sites.'
