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.

Accused weapons smugglers freed
26 June 2018
- FOUR men, including three Cambodians and one Vietnamese, accused of selling chemical weapons left Phnom Penh Municipal Court yesterday as free men after nearly two years behind bars.

The four men were released after the court dropped the charges against them and released them unconditionally. They had been charged over the selling of two litres of liquid suspected to be chemical weapons for $3.3 million to undercover agents in Phnom Penh in 2016.

The court’s decision came after it re-conducted their trial on June 15 following laboratory tests that reported the suspected liquids contained no chemicals, or nuclear or radioactive content.

Judge Leang noted that they had been charged by the prosecutor with producing and transporting substances and liquids of chemical weapons, nuclear weapons, arms and radiation.

He said they were arrested on Aug 30, 2016, by the anti-drug police in Phnom Penh’s Por Senchey district after they brought two litres of liquid to sell to undercover police at a price of $3.3 million.
