A Frenchman and his son have been arrested in Siem Reap for using violence against Cambodian journalists.

They are said to have attacked Apsara TV Network reporters, but I have a feeling there's more to story.

They are owners of a hotel in Siem Reap. Maybe THE SAMAR VILLA & SPA RESORT?

Just when I thought things were getting back to normal in the Kingdom.

Siem Reap: Although freedom of the press is guaranteed by the Constitution, the supreme law of the Kingdom of Cambodia, often in continues to see threats and violence by some individuals on the journalists who use bin and camera Instead of weapons and ammunition, including some journalists were injured and some died unfairly.

There is a Cambodian journalist who I will do more than just assault if I get 5 minutes alone with him.

Extortion?

Cambodian "journalists" are well known for their scams and extortion attempts. Actually there is no such thing as a Cambodian journalist.........these are criminals with a camera.

You can usually identify the fake ones because they work for newspapers that run issues every few months. Apsara TV is too legit for the kind of shenanigans mentiond. I doubt it is extortion.

Comment of the event on Facebook:

Owners of the "Samavilla" hotel and "Le Funon" restaurant in Siem Riep. Father and son French expats. blocked a local road and smashed camera of a reporter who came to the scene.
Not the best means of negotiating and maintaining friendly relationship with the local population.
I have witnessed this a couple of times with French expats in the Ivory Coast.
Gives expats a bad reputation.
