Australian drug smuggler sentenced to 23 years in Cambodian

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.

Makes me sick that the AFP know about it but prefer tipoff the Cambodians when they could arrest the guilty in Australia and have them serve a fair sentence.

Cambodian justice is swifter and cost a fuck of a lot less.

They made the right move an it sets a deterrent for other potential Australians) like the Balinese case

If you cant do the time, don't do the crime!


What sad is that all these little busts do absolutely nothing to stem the tide of illegal drugs anywhere. The big guys seldom get caught.
In a nation run by swine, all pigs are upward-mobile and the rest of us are fucked until we can put our acts together: not necessarily to win, but mainly to keep from losing completely. HST

The squeeze should come pre-trial and certainly pre-sentencing, I would think.

I think she'll be getting squeezed eventually.

I've actually met Precious a bunch of times (pre-incarceration). He is a charming fellow.
