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.

Major General Sorn Keo, a spokesman for the General Department of Prisons at the Interior Ministry, said yesterday that Lieutenant General Hun Chea was freed from prison in line with a court decision.

“He was released from the prison on Saturday based on the court’s verdict,” Maj Gen Keo said. “He was released because he finished serving the jail term handed to him.”

On May 2, Phnom Penh Municipal Court sentenced Lieutenant General Chea, a high-ranking Interior Ministry police official, to 18 months in jail for discharging his service weapon during an argument with his wife.

Court spokesman Y Rin said he was jailed for making death threats and damaging property. Last month, the Court of Appeal reduced his jail term to six months.
