Australian Filmmaker James Ricketson Arrested at CNRP Rally With a Drone For Espionage in Phnom Penh, Cambodia
Phnom Penh, Cambodia: James Ricketson, an expat from Australia, was arrested on June 3 at a CNRP rally for espionage because he had a drone and was taking pictures, which he planned to use outside of Cambodia.
Flying a drone in Phnom Penh without authorization from the authorities beforehand is illegal in itself.
When police asked for his ID, he refused to give them his passport.
Because this happened so close to elections, he will be sent to court and charged with espionage.

James Ricketson's crazy history in Cambodia:
"James Ricketson has a long history as a serial harasser of individuals, organizations, government departments and officials across the world, including Australia, Cambodia, Thailand and the United Kingdom. In April 2014, he was convicted of blackmail by a Cambodian court and sentenced to imprisonment for two years (suspended)."

He's really creepy, he has been trying to vindicate Fletcher for years while calling Scott Neeson all sorts of unwarranted names. He needs to be kicked out of the kingdom.
Silence, exile, and cunning.

So is James Ricketson likely to be the keyboard warriors' Official Whipping Boy for a while,
rather like Richard of the River Queen Guest House in Siem Reap?

Not sure about that but admittedly, that was a rather stupid stunt to pull...boozyoldman wrote: ↑Sun Jun 04, 2017 8:04 am So is James Ricketson likely to be the keyboard warriors' Official Whipping Boy for a while,

I can't help but wonder if the govt. will try to link the espionage charge with the NCRP. Depends on election results I suppose.
As my old Cajun bait seller used to say, "I opes you luck.

And he will probably be linked to the Russians .
Cambodia,,,, Don't fall in love with her.
Like the spoilt child she is, she will not be happy till she destroys herself from within and breaks your heart.
