Cambodians Are Increasingly Being Executed For Sorcery

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.

Never heard of anyone being executed or punished, and this sort of practice is so rare nowadays; at best you might hear stories being passed from one to another. It always start with there is an old man in my village...or when I was a kid...etc. In term of Dawkins, I think he is a dick; I watched his documentary many years ago where he traveled around mocking religious people trying to prove his point.

There were two cases reported in some detail in the local rags in recent months.
