Court drops CNN hero’s illegal weapons charges

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.

Court drops CNN hero’s illegal weapons charges

Post by phuketrichard »

i had wondered why the museum had been closed...
The Siem Reap provincial court has dropped the “weapon possession” charges against CNN hero Aki Ra, leaving the Cambodian Landmine Museum free to reopen on Thursday, a court official said.

Siem Reap provincial court spokesperson Yin Srang told The Post that the investigating judge on Wednesday dropped the charges against Aki Ra and two of his colleagues.

“The investigating judge decided on December 26 to lift the court verdict described in the bail decision, and allowed the landmine museum to reopen following a request from the suspects,” Srang said.
