Naughty Cambodian Monk Arrested for Hiding Drugs, Condoms...

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.

This was the main reason that they were arrested and defrocked.
បើសិនធ្វើចេះ ចេះឲ្យគេកោត បើសិនធ្វើឆោត ឆោតឲ្យគេអាណិត។

If you know a lot, know enough to make them respect you, if you are stupid, be stupid enough so they can pity you.

Nay Vanda, deputy head of human rights monitoring and legal aid at local rights group Adhoc, said officials should have conducted the search in front of the two monks to “ensure transparency”.

“During the search, both monks were outside asking for food.

Therefore, it’s hard for them to prove their innocence and that someone else planted the evidence in their room”.





This is very interesting!!!

Hay has been a regular feature at fiery protests over alleged human rights abuses and has fronted calls for Vietnam to recognise the history of ethnic Khmer people living in the south of Cambodia’s powerful neighbour.

“I was informed in advance of plans to arrest me, so when they came to get me, they could not find me and just arrested two of my apprentices,” he said, referring to the arrests of Dav Tep, 28, and Chea Vanda, 30, on Saturday...
