Siem Reap: Massive Arrest at the Soul Train (Reggae Bar)

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.

But several posters on the Cambodia Expats Online blog – discussing the arrest under pseudonyms – said Prins’s recent overt and public criticism of the prime minister was ill-advised, and could have been the catalyst for her arrest.

Ill-advised? What I actually said is that Rachel Prins is a soap-dodging retard.

LoL, they paraphrased you very nicely.

But for real, everyone, it's truly great to see that not only are our newsworthy stories and discussions of interest to CEO and the rest of the expat community in Cambodia, but also of interest to the whole world. BBC called us a few months back (about the pornographic dancing backpackers in Siem Reap), and I had to explain your username to them, pointing out it was a play on words, Apocalypse Now, and Prahoc, the fermented fish stuff, LoL. :lol:

Next time, can you explain the meanings of the words ' journalist', 'unbiased' and ' proof' to them?

The press should have mentioned that every arrest of any foreigner in Cambodia is followed by online claims that "IT'S A SET UP!" and that powerful Cambodians were out to get him.

Yeah, I think they had been told a couple of times to 'calm it down' but they never really listened. I really don't think it's anti HE thing. If that's what she believes, then fair enough.

Hope she is released soon, can't be a nice place to be!

quantity + commercial enterprise = big sentence
the other is that under Cambodian law, is that if in the west a person supplied drugs to 10 people, that is one charge (of supplying to 10 people). In Cambodia, that is 10 charges carrying 5 years each accumulative = 50 years
