Daily publishers banned from leaving country

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.

Rewarding a government that is smothering democracy. WTF ?
How do you feel about the $1.4 billion in aid your government has given to Afghanistan since 2001?
Fancy going on a holiday there? It's apparently very democratic and they don't know corruption. :lol:
Silence, exile, and cunning.

Your own government is way more fucked up than anything in Cambodia.

Cambodia has a future...Australia? Meh.

Just see how many Australians have made Cambodia their home...and I don't mean illiterate, aggressive paedos, I mean decent, qualified people who prefer this country to a nanny-state run by opportunistic, crooked fools.

Why are you living in Thailand if Australia is so fantastic? You know the answer.
I'm not for one minute defending Australia. In fact I'm saying they should have far more fiscal discipline about who they hand out money to.
And it still doesn't change the fact that the existing government in Cambodia are no better than the Italian Mafia and you are all sitting there
under their control like slaves.
The only benefit my Australian passport has is that it I can copy the superrich :lol:
because it will give me legal right of abode in New Zealand when the shit hits the fan in this fucked up world

Do you understand that this wasn't just a gift that could be spent any way the Royal Government feels like?
It's to develop health, agriculture and infrastructure, as outlined here:

And it still doesn't change the fact that the existing government in Cambodia are no better than the Italian Mafia and you are all sitting there

I must have gotten this whole "slavery" idea wrong then, because it seems we're relatively well compensated for our work and a whole lot freer than I feel like when I'm back west.
You guys are drowning in regulations and taxes and you can't even fart without an armed response unit turning up.
Of course it's heading that way here too, it's just nowhere near as far down that road.
Silence, exile, and cunning.

Cambodia Daily publisher's defamation trial again deferred
12 April 2018
The Phnom Penh Municipal Court again delayed a defamation trial against Cambodia Daily Deputy Publisher Deborah Krisher-Steele on Thursday, with the presiding judge saying he needed time to consider the grounds for the complaint and a defence motion to summons the government-aligned online news outlet Fresh News.

Presiding Judge Seng Leang said he needed time to deliberate on a defence request asking for Fresh News, which published the leaked tax document, to be summonsed in the case. After a short deliberation, Leang said he needed additional time to consider the request.

“The case is complicated to summon Fresh News,” he said. "It could affect the professionalism of the journalists and so we will discuss this later.”
The judge has not announced when the trial will resume.
