Dos Sopheap, the winner of the controversial Miss Landmine pageant, tries on her prosthetic leg, which was delivered by prosthetist Rune Nilsen to her home in Battambang province on Thursday. In addition to the leg, the 19-year-old also received US$1,000 for winning both an online vote and a pageant-in-exile staged in Norway. Speaking by phone on Sunday, she said, “Finally, I have received the prosthetic leg at my home. I almost can’t believe my eyes. It is even more comfortable and beautiful. I am quite happy.” A government decree issued in July 2009 banned the pageant and forbade its 20 contestants from leaving their hometowns to participate in it.
