Goodbye Manfred

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 is the same guy, right? If so, I took a video of him yelling at a tuk-tuk driver on Street 172 last month.

They lock you up till they can deport you.
Which leads me to ask, Who pays ? Ur Embassy?
Well i have had 2 friends who ended up in immagration.Both were there for 3 months before being deported.One was Belguim the other Dutch,they have no embassies in Cambodia.
Manfred may be lucky as the German embassy are very good and he has a 500 euro plus pension.But the aversge time spent in immagration is 3 months if your Embassy is useless.
Ps you your family or friends have to pay for the airfare,as i was involved in both fares that were paid in full a month before they were released i suggest the khmers aint bothered sbout the buck they spend per day on food per person.
and if you have no family? who pays?
the guy i know deported from new zealand owes and is currently paying back the new zealand government for his deportation.

Your friends should have visited the German embassy. Any EU citizen can seek help/representation at any EU embassy in case the native country isn’t represented. The embassy is required to assist any EU citizen as it’s own citizen.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citizen ... pean_Union

“Right to consular protection: a right to protection by the diplomatic or consular authorities of other Member States when in a non-EU Member State, if there are no diplomatic or consular authorities from the citizen's own state (Article 23): this is due to the fact that not all member states maintain embassies in every country in the world (14 countries have only one embassy from an EU state).[29]”

However. I don’t think anyone should expect their embassy to assist with money or help to get back home unless there is a major disaster like the tsunami back in 2004(?). I have been in a situation when I really needed help and I was offered an interpreter and help getting money from my family routed to me.

As an example: https://www.confused.com/travel-insuran ... out-abroad

Does anyone know for sure that a ticket home has been paid by an embassy? If so, what were the circumstances?
