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.

Cambodia News, Preah Sihanouk: On 2 July 2020, Stung Hav deputy chief and the Stung Hav district police inspector general arrested two fake monks and handed them over for a disciplinary hearing with the Preah Sihanouk Provincial Department of Cults and Religion.

They were identified as Sin Sieng, aged 25, a monk from a pagoda in Phnom Penh, and a 30-year-old homeless man named Chea Sophal, both who were living in a pagoda in Stung Hav district, Sihanoukville, for nearly a week.

After questioning and consultation, the religious authorities found that the men were not following the path of a monk correctly, and the priests handed them over to law enforcement for legal procedures.
