Cambodia's Quarantine and Lockdown Escapees (Regular Updates)

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.

Major General Sam Samoun, Provincial Police Commissioner of Kampong Speu, said that police force of Kampong Speu Provincial Police has cracked down on two cases of human trafficking from locked down areas in Phnom Penh.
The case involved the arrest of four Cambodians transporting people and the arrest of 34 foreigners (16 Indonesians and 18 Chinese).

Gen Samoun said that in the first case, on April 20, 2021, his force arrested 16 Indonesians, including four women and two Cambodians. A taxi driver was stopped at Udong Market, Veang Chas Commune, Udong District and after questioning, he and his passengers admitted that they intended to travel to Poipet, Banteay Meanchey province.
According to the General Commissioner, the 16 Indonesians were fined 1.2 million riels ($300) each and sent to the General Department of Immigration for further action.

Separately, the two Cambodians, who are taxi drivers, have been detained and sent to the court.

For the second case, on the morning of April 23, 2021, his force continued to crack down on the transportation of 18 Chinese nationals at the same Udong market while traveling to Battambang province. Two Cambodians were also arrested.

In the second case, the General Commissioner confirmed that the practice is the same as in the case of Indonesians, with a fine of 1.2 million Riel ($300) each and sent to the General Department of Immigration for further action while the two Cambodians were sent to court for further action.

Fortunately for the authorities, many Cambodians like to post themselves on Facebook when they break lockdown or curfew.

Kampot Man Posts his Lockdown Escape
Image
Cambodia News, (Kampot Province): A Kampot man who posted a video of himself arriving home in Kampot province from Phnom Penh has been visited by Kampot police. This is according to the national police officer's page in the morning of April 24, 2021.
It was confirmed that, on April 23, 2021, the police department of Kampot saw a short video posted on social media, saying: ′′ I arrived home, who said it is not possible to come from Phnom Penh, and now arrive in Kampot!" As a further insult, the man posted his welcome home BBQ with his family.

Image
After receiving this news, the Kampot Police Department has researched this person, who is called Phal Dara, male, 24 years old, a mirror-cutter working in Phnom Penh, but originally from Ang Sophey, Kompong Trach district, Kompot province. Police found him at his parents' home there.
Image
Due to the continuing disobedience of individuals, who insist on traveling although this is forbidden by the law, many Facebook posters are requesting officers to take legal action in this case.

Journalist Arrested Taking Passengers to Kratie
Image
Cambodia News, (Kandal): On 23.04.2021 at 15:00, Voeun Sophornra, the owner of a car repair shop and a journalist of UMTV Online, took two car repair workers from his car repair garage in his white KIA RIGAL to his hometown in Prek Prang village, Kratie province.
When the car crossed the Victory Monument Bridge on National Road 6 in Chroy Changva district, Phnom Penh, the driver, Voeun Sophornra, stopped and went to meet the authorities at the checkpoint there. He told the officers that he was returning to his hometown because he was unemployed, and he was allowed to continue his journey.

However, on arriving at the border checkpoint between Kandal and Kampong Cham provinces in Krang Svay village, Svay Ampear commune, Muk Kampoul district, Kandal province, the police inspectorate of Muk Kampoul district inspected and questioned Voeun Sophornra, the driver of the car, and Voeun Sophornra then showed them his ID and the mission letter of UMTV Online journalist allowing him to travel in 25 provinces and cities, signed by Mr. Sok Sovanchea.
Image
But when the police checked the documents, they realized that there was only one letter, and yet there were three people in the car, and two of them did not have journalist IDs or a letter to travel. So then the police arrested the 3 suspects. The driver, Voeun Sophornra, admitted that he had taken the two car repair workers from his garage with the intention of going to his hometown together in Kratie province.
Image
As for the three suspects who were temporarily detained at the Muk Kampul District Police Inspectorate, the competent authorities are building a case to proceed with the procedure.
