Cambodian Navy Forces Seize Ship Carrying 38 Illegal Chinese, 2 Cambodians

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.

It's possible that they are being coerced by criminals.
Silence, exile, and cunning.

Yes. Must have been tough for those Chinese traders 100s of years ago. Same for Marco Polo and Christopher Columbus. They must have hated home so much to leave.

I'm very doubtful of them being "desperate". Just more triads

Well spotted Si - at last we have somebody who can distinguish between the blind bleeding obvious.

Poor unfortunates desperate to escape China. :cry: Explorers heading off over the horizons. yeah right :bong:
Obviously many of our world weary CEO heroes have never even seen a genuine Hard Man, let alone lived in that world, in all of their snowflake, cocktail girl worshiping, St 130 lives.

This is a very interesting report. It shows us how the triads are getting in.

Hahaha. Yes, that’s correct.
I’d have thought triads would just fly in first class. Or are these triads low grade workers?

Anyway. I feel sorry for the Cambodians only.

Chinese People-Smuggling Ship Traveled Six Days, More Than 2,500 Km: Authorities

Thirty-six Chinese nationals and two Cambodians have been placed in Covid-19 quarantine after a more than 2,500-km journey over six days by sea from China to Koh Rong Sanloem, where they were arrested for alleged illegal entry to the country, authorities said.

The reason for the trafficking by ship has not been made clear, though authorities said they found only five passports on board.

Keo Vanthorn, Interior Ministry immigration department spokesperson, told VOD on Tuesday that 38 arrested individuals had been placed in quarantine. The suspects “have not yet been handed to the general immigration department,” he said.

Touch Pallak, director of the Interior Ministry’s Maritime Border Police department, said in a National Police statement on Monday that the ship, named Tong Hai, is believed to have left the port of Fu’an in China’s Fujian province on July 18 with all 38 passengers on board. Fu’an is more than 2,500 km from Sihanoukville in a direct line, and closer to 3,000 km by water.

After officers raided the ship near Koh Rong Sanloem island on July 24, 38 people were arrested, including one female, while five passports, three Seaman Books recording a seafarers’ careers, one ship certificate, six mobile phones and a GPS device were confiscated, Pallak said in the statement.

A Preah Sihanouk provincial prosecutor participated in the action, and the ship’s passengers have been interrogated, Pallak said. The ship was being kept at a Maritime Border Police facility, he added.

Koh Rong district police chief Heng Kim An would not say whether the ship had docked at Koh Rong Sanloem island, referring questions to the National Committee for Maritime Security.

Tea Sokha, deputy Navy commander and an official in the National Committee for Maritime Security, declined to comment, referring questions to deputy Navy commander Ouk Seyha, who referred questions to police.

According to the National Police statement dated Monday, the raid on the ship was carried out around 9:30 p.m. on Sunday. Photos released by police show the ship flying a Cambodian flag.
