Zsombor Peter (Cambodia Daily Journalist) Criminally Charged in Cambodia; Appears to be Politically Motivated

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.

Also, you are being silly that we shouldn't show passport scans on our site, then link right to them. :facepalm:

No, you missed my point on that. I think you should post the passport scans. And you do. All the time. No problem. Just credit the local news source where it comes from.

That's laughable. And now when people Google his name they'll see your description of your interaction with him, which doesn't portray him in the most favorable light. This is of course known as the "Streisand effect."
Yeah, and I know I was a bit harsh in my comments about him, but he comes off as a little whiney, entitled prick.

I kind of thought that since he's a journalist, he'd be a good talker, but after my interaction with Szombor Peter I'm not surprised in the least that villagers filed an official complaint after having to talk to him.

When you say "passport scans" do you mean the full, uncensored scan that shows their passport number and everything?

Sure. You can;t use a passport number to steal someone's identity. And most of the time the people are dead. Dead people have no privacy rights. But living or dead, I absolutely need dates of birth to look up their Florida rap sheets.

Ah, fair enough. I guess we just have varying degrees of what we should show or not. We always try to hide passport numbers, so linking to the place where the image shows that is ONE of the several reasons we often don't post links, including that I'm a cheap click-whore like all the mainstream and small news outlets around the world who leave out where they got their info from more often than not.

Am I allowed to make it my personal mission to hunt down and post the original Khmer source for every news item you share? I've got time.

I think our time would be better spent looking into every expat from Florida and reporting on what we find... :stir:

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.

Perhaps I expect to see credit to the original news sources because your own description of the Newsworthy forum says this:

I could edit that out if it would make you feel better.
