US Embassy Workers Fired Over Underage Porn Scandal will Protest at the American Embassy in Phnom Penh Tomorrow

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.

Maybe it’s because they are locals? If any of the 32 were foreigners, NGOs would be on the government in an instant to get them arrested.

Double standards extends to other areas as well. Child porn, sex workers, beating one’s wife in public, etc. One set of rules for the foreigners, another set for the locals.

Their crime it seems, is that the US embassy is holding them to same standard that it holds all of its workers.

Being the US government, these security personnel must have had training and signed papers about what is and is not allowed.

The local government’s response speaks volumes. It’s not a crime if you are a local. That allowing an anti-US protest with elections around the corner.

BTW, the consulate staff is overworked and undermanned. 7 Windows for customers, including the processing window when I went in (2 days in a row). Maybe 2 or 3 Staff. Had the same guy twice. No lack of security. 4-5 at the front, couple more inside. Special personal to walk each person from the gate into the building.
