Forgetful British Expat Ian Hammond Arrested in Sihanoukville for Living Illegally in Cambodia for 2 Years

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.

Does anyone know what happens to people typically that have to go to immigration for illegal residence, visa overstay etc. ? Do they send them back right away or turn them over to their embassy or torture them by making them stay in some kind of immigration jail for a long time like they do or atleast they used to do in Thailand. Back in the 80's they were many overtayers caught and had been in the immigration jail for years of all nationalities.
Detained, squeezed for some cash (I'd imagine), then deported.
