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.

Victims of the Khmer Rouge who have been waiting for justice since 1979 may only have to wait a few months more, with the court announcing yesterday that a verdict in the first subtrial of its flagship Case 002 will be read on August 7.

Case 002/01 – brought against former Khmer Rouge head of state Khieu Samphan and the regime’s second-in-command, Nuon Chea – began in November 2011 and dealt primarily with the regime’s policy of emptying cities, particularly Phnom Penh after its fall in 1975, as well as the executions of officials from the preceding regime that immediately followed.

Believe it when you see it.

A slap on the wrist for genocide. Nice deterrent.
Jesus loves you...Mexico is great, right? ;)
