Australian woman detained in Cambodia, after nearly 2kg of heroin found in her luggage at PP airport.

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.

Yes, the Australian Federal Police alerted the Cambodian authorities about her.
Same thing the Australian police did with the Bali 9
fucking Australian cops would prefer their nationals be locked up abroad......
Is it just me, but surely only an idiot would expect that much to pass unnoticed?
Just you, how many times have u been searched leaving any country in SE Asia? Me, NEVER
In a nation run by swine, all pigs are upward-mobile and the rest of us are fucked until we can put our acts together: not necessarily to win, but mainly to keep from losing completely. HST

The DEA routinely does the same, as do most countries with smugglers coming from South America.

After all the effort the Australians put in to get the death penalty lifted of their nationals in Indonesia they dob in an Aussie of vietnamese extraction instead of arresting her in Aus. Is that to save the cost of imprisoning her or have they got something about boat people? Good way of getting rid of immigrants, get them banged up abroad
The reports I have seen in the Australian press state she was on her way back to Oz via Hong Kong. The HK customs definitely would have found the gear, without the need to be tipped off by our keystone cops. Then she definitely would have received the death penalty. Maybe they actually made the decision for humanitarian reasons?

Hong Kong and Macau are separate jurisdictions from mainland China and neither has the death penalty. The last execution in Hong Kong was more than 50 years ago.

I'm no expert, but prison conditions in Hong Kong sound better than those in Cambodia.

I can't spell.
Now that you got the spelling for heroin down, go back and read the story, it says "Herod".

Thanks Dave. When you've learned how to read Khmer, come back and tell us what the word circled in red reads in the below image.

I believe an apology is in order.

Cruisemonkey was making fun of the translation...

But I'm now guessing that you weren't correcting him you were correcting the original translation. So, ummm, I apologize for being forced to respond as I did after I was deceived by you not specifying which post you were correcting. :beer:
