PHNOM PENH Mousa Dembele Coupe du monde Maillot , May 30 (Xinhua) -- Cambodian police had confiscated more than 30 tons of illegal cosmetic products in raids on two locations in Phnom Penh last week, the government's Counter Counterfeit Committee said in a press release on Tuesday.
The seized cosmetics and short-time skin whitening lotions had been imported from neighboring countries illegally and stored and distributed in Cambodia without quality-assured certificates, the press release said.
"These cosmetics and short-time skin whitening lotions are suspicious of causing dangers or a long-term impact on people's health," it said.
It was the third remarkable crackdown on counterfeits.
Earlier this month, the Counter Counterfeit Committee seized a total of 68 tons of fake beauty products, including shampoo and skin whitening creams, during two raids in Phnom Penh and southern Kandal province.

DAMASCUS, June 25 (Xinhua) -- Syria's President Bashar al-Assad performed the special morning prayers of the Muslim Eid al-Fitr feast in the central city of Hama on Sunday, his first declared visit to that city during the six-year war.
Flanked by the ministers of religious endowment and the grand mufti of Syria, Assad prayed at the al-Nouri mosque in Hama, according to the state news agency SANA.
The imam, leading the prayers, said that Syria is on the road toward victory, adding that Assad gave several signals that "the crisis has become behind our backs" and that "there is no backing in fighting terrorism and corruption."
