Thirteen Monkeys Freed From Wildlife Trafficker

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.

Mondolkiri province, Cambodia Breaking News: A wildlife trafficker was stopped and arrested while transporting wild monkeys along National Road 76 this morning in Keo Seima district, Mondulkiri.
Image
The suspect, 34-year-old Huyhu, was driving a car with the number 2R-8247. Thirteen monkeys were being transported in sacks in the trunk of the vehicle.
Image
Wildlife official Brahma Vibol Ratanak says that the monkey smuggler is a well known wildlife trafficker that they had been attempting to capture for a long time. The suspect will remain in detention until he appears in court.

Happy ending for these thirteen monkeys who have been released into a protected forest area.
