A Spanish Woman Arrested In Relation to Black Monday Faces Deportation

Cambodia news in English! Here you'll find all the breaking news from Cambodia translated into English for our international readership and expat community to read and comment on. The majority of our news stories are gathered from the local Khmer newspapers, but we also bring you newsworthy media from Cambodia before you read them anywhere else. Because of the huge population of the capital city, most articles are from Phnom Penh, but Siem Reap, Sihanoukville, and Kampot often make the headlines as well. We report on all arrests and deaths of foreigners in Cambodia, and the details often come from the Cambodian police or local Khmer journalists. As an ASEAN news outlet, we also publish regional news and events from our neighboring countries. We also share local Khmer news stories that you won't find in English anywhere else. If you're looking for a certain article, you may use our site's search feature to find it quickly.

Cambodian Official Claims Spanish Activist Is A Witch, Internet Baffled

Image

When Spanish activist and researcher Marga Bujosa Segado was deported from Cambodia on August 16, it was a terrible blow for civil society. She was arrested for attending a protest (on behalf of two other activists), and was promptly carted off to jail, a move many say violated her universal rights of free speech and assembly.

Getting arrested in Cambodia is about as unpleasant as it sounds, but unlike other Westerners, The Cambodia Daily recently learned that Bujosa Segado got the full treatment: a beating by police officers, who kicked her in the torso and stomach.

While arrested Westerners are often spared this indignity (unlike Cambodians) they seem to have made an exception in Bujosa Segado’s instance. Why was this the case?

Because she was probably a “witch.”

Or at least that’s what The Cambodia Daily reported when they spoke with Major General Heisela, who said police officers were worried when she started taking photos of them.

“We were worried she might be a sorcerer and then take photos to do black magic on our stomachs,” he said.

“Everyone knows the Spanish practice magic,” he said. “They can fly on brooms.”

the problem with cambodian officials is that we dont know they are being sarcastic or an idiot, they could go either way when things go south on the other

I have a feeling they honestly believe witches fly on broom sticks.

I saw it on Hot Fresh News Cambodia's Facebook page so it must true.

Whether or not she is a witch, the Cambodian authorities should avoid using this as an excuse on why they are beating people that are taken into custody. It looks silly and it looks barbaric. I don't think it was ironic, unfortunately.
We all know what happens to witches here. In the end, she was probably lucky to get deported.

Apart from being a witch, Marga has things to say. She is much less confrontational when she writes, but definitely has a :fuckyou: style.
From My Gut: Reflecting on My Deportation From Cambodia
by Marga Bujosa Segado | September 1, 2016

The Facts
My given name is Margarita, my family name is Bujosa Segado. I am a Ph.D. researcher at the Women’s and Gender Studies Institute of the University of Granada and an anthropology master’s degree student at the Royal University of Fine Arts in Phnom Penh. I landed in Cambodia in February 2009. Since June 2014, I have been implementing ethnographic research in the Boeng Kak community, in villages 22 and 24.
—Opinion—

As I explained to the immigration police, an important part of ethnography is participatory observation. They didn’t understand. I kept explaining that “this means to observe and describe the experiences you share with the group object of your study.” They were silent. “I do as they do. For example, eating ‘borbor’ (rice soup) for breakfast, even though I like to eat bread, eating ‘prahok’ even though I do not like fish, giving ‘toek mun’ (charity to the monks) even though I am agnostic. Also, joining the demonstrations with a black T-shirt even though I am only documenting them.”...
