Don't wear black on Mondays...

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.

Activists Will Switch to White for ‘Black Monday’

“Black Monday” protesters plan to switch their coordinated clothing to white this morning during protests in Phnom Penh in an effort to show authorities that they are not attempting to incite a “color revolution,” an activist said on Sunday.

Black Monday Arrests Return Amid Fears of ‘Revolution’

March 28, 2017

Two “Black Monday” protesters were arrested on Monday for the first time since activist Tep Vanny was thrown in jail in August, while an official again warned of the dangers that the long-running campaign would lead to a “color revolution.”

“This morning we were arrested at about 8 a.m.,” Ms. Sorn said from the district police station. “They just came and arrested us without discussing anything.”

Ms. Sorn claimed she was visited by her village chief on Sunday night and warned against wearing a black T-shirt the next day.

“The village chief told me last night that I cannot wear a black shirt, as this shirt represents the Black Monday campaign,” she said.

“If we take it off, where will the Black Monday campaign be?” she asked. “I think it’s only a shirt. What law says it’s wrong?”

Ms. Sreynak, also speaking by telephone while in police detention, said she was targeted while peacefully protesting in her neighborhood.

“Before they arrested me, I was holding a banner in front of my house,” she said, adding that she was also wearing a black shirt, which was not banned under any law of which she was aware. “They told me that I was doing wrong and then they took me into the car.”

Ms. Sorn said that she and Ms. Sreynak were released at about 7:30 p.m. after signing a document saying they would no longer take part in Black Monday protests...
