Woman Thief has Head Shaved by Angry Market Sellers

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.

Relatively speaking, it wasn't that harsh a treatment. As someone else said, she wasn't beaten or imprisoned. In terms of community justice, it was rather take. It's interesting that the police have cracked down on citizens taking justice into their own hands. How often does that happen?
now a days the government only respond to social media events tat has garnered enuff viewers, i f u want something to get done, put it on social media n try to get as many views as possible
And this is the case

The men who shaved her head are now being held by the police.

"getting beat up close to death and ending up in prison" is less cruel than getting your head cut and your body burned, surrounded with people videotape the scene and put it on social medias. We can find worst and worst and worst and... situations. But it's not because ir's worst elesewhere that you can not complain.
Ho ho ho. I'm comparing with similar cases of what they usually do with thieves that are caught red-handed here in Cambodia. I'm not saying it's ok. She wasn't beaten, just head shaved and let go. Better for her than ending up in prison, that was my only thought.

Anyone else remember when police here used to regularly shave people's heads as an extrajudicial punishment? Kind of ironic if they are more going around arresting people for it. Not saying they are wrong to do so, just pointing out the obvious.

I read the story about a guy who moved into a neighborhood. The rumor said that he was a pedophilia and a group of teennager beat him badly just because of the rumor. But the rumor was wrong and the guy is permanent disabled now. Street justice.

You'll note I distinguished between stoning and the shaving of a head of a person caught in the act of stealing. I think it's safe to assume I don't go in for attacks of the type you describe either.

Just because street justice has awful extremes, doesn't mean there couldn't be a place for it as in this incident. Blanket banning or blanket adoption of one method isn't a great way forward. We are dealing with human emotions though, and they certainly get out of hand. I'm not saying street justice untethered is a good thing.

The wife tells me this girl is FOURTEEN.

And they did that to her and also apparently hit her many times.

I wonder what the PUC Hitler has to say?

Ok, the hitting is not good.

Edit, and, yeah, shaving her head is probably a bit brutal at that age too.
