Homeless Brit MARTIN CLEARY Arrested by Immigration Police in Phnom Penh, Cambodia

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.

Homeless Brit MARTIN CLEARY Arrested by Immigration Police in Phnom Penh, Cambodia

Post by Anchor Moy »

On 16 August 2017, at around midday, a British man identified as Martin Cleary from Yorkshire, England was taken into custody by immigration police in Phnom Penh. He appears to be in possession of no valid documents, without a fixed abode and believed to be living on the streets. He was arrested on immigration charges at the same time as 4 Nigerian and 4 Vietnamese men.

Funny how he was the only Brit to be arrested with 4 Nigerians and 4 Vietnamese.

And these are the Vietnamese. There is another thread on the Nigerians somewhere.

He does look spaced.

More like Michael Palin than Brian I'd say.

Hmmmm, I think he looks exactly like a British expat named Martin. Anyone agree/disagree? I am not 100% convinced it's him, but seems like it.
