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.

Prisoner on the loose - escaped from Kampot hospital

Post by CEOCambodiaNews »

And yet another prisoner has managed to escape the eagle-eye vigilance of his guards and disappear into nowhere.

Police search for prison escapee
Wed, 13 September 2017
Police are searching for a Kampot Provincial Prison inmate who has been on the loose since Sunday, two days after authorities in Prey Veng province rearrested another prisoner who had escaped.

Kampot Provincial Prison Director Em Bo said police were looking for inmate Choar Chor, 56, who was imprisoned two months ago on drug charges. According to Bo, Chor had been in the provincial hospital for two weeks before he snuck out on Sunday afternoon.

“This is the carelessness of our officials,” Bo said. “After this, we will strengthen the discipline and keep it as a lesson for other officials.”

According to the Kampot Foreigner's Facebook page this didn't actually happen in Kampot Province, and it actually didn't happen at all so shut up about it. Or I'll set my dog on you. 8-)
Silence, exile, and cunning.
