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.

New York – Prime Minister HE has said he is planning a major prisoner amnesty to coincide with a series of holidays that could see as many as 319 convicts released in the coming months.

Each year the premier announces a list of inmates who he “requests” be released from prison as a goodwill gesture.

“This year I want to have a large-scale pardon on Pchum Ben Day, Independence Day and the 20th anniversary of the end of the civil war,” he told a gathering in New York on Saturday.

They only release convicted prisoners.

As long as it takes to count the money.
Cambodia,,,, Don't fall in love with her.
Like the spoilt child she is, she will not be happy till she destroys herself from within and breaks your heart.

Frankly,the sooner ( & more " generous " ) the money is appropriately transferred, the sooner, ie ,court ; things are speeded- up; court appearance dates are set & or living conditions are improved.,
Hope this helps
