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.

It's Cambodian all star boxing at its finest.


HE Goads ‘Brave Man’ Sam Rainsy to Return From Exile
A day after lifting an order barring the return of Sam Rainsy, Prime Minister HE on Thursday beckoned the “brave” former opposition leader back home to face arrest as Mr. Rainsy said that returning would be a “silly gift” to a cowardly prime minister.

Speaking at a graduation ceremony in Phnom Penh, Mr. HE confirmed that he had ordered the reversal of the October directive, which forbid immigration officials and airlines from allowing Mr. Rainsy into the country, after hearing Mr. Rainsy tell Radio Free Asia (RFA) on Tuesday that Mr. HE was too scared to let him return.

Round two! Of the biggest fight ever known between Dreadlocks and Babylon.
Babylon weighing in at 210 pounds, Dreadlocks weighing in at 150 pounds.

Ding Ding Ding!

Here come Babylon with a right and a wrong to the head of Dreadlock, a right and a wrong to the head of Dreadlock, a right and a wrong to the head of Dreadlock.

But Dreadlock is bopping and weaving on his bicycle, bopping and weaving, bopping and weaving with love in his heart - deep deep love in his heart.



PM, Rainsy Continue Squabbling

“Rainsy is very stupid…. [He] says that an obtained order to military forces is mine. Where does it say it belongs to me? Does it have a seal and signature?” Mr. HE said in an interview with government mouthpiece Fresh News on Saturday.

“I want to stress, and please listen clearly: if you come, you will be handcuffed on board the plane and sent to prison right away. Don’t be aggressive, foolish man,” he said. “Rainsy usually distorts language…. All Rainsy’s mistakes stem from his actions.”

What are the charges again? Defamation? Can you imagine how sucky it must be to be sitting with family and friends at your graduation ceremony and have the dicta... I mean Prime Minister of your country going on about politics? Fuck me, he's not buying himself any votes.

And he's on the ropes, no, it's a KO ... or near enough.
HE has passed a new law against "criminals" being involved in political activity, which will also include all the other members of the opposition party who have been arrested for adultery, bribery, incitement, throwing shoes, dirty clothes (wearing black on Mondays) etc.

Breaking: Assembly passes Party Law changes targeting Rainsy
Mon, 10 July 2017

Cambodia's National Assembly swiftly passed controversial new laws this morning to effectively ban former opposition leader Sam Rainsy from the political arena, and to forbid the Cambodia National Rescue Party from using his near-ubiquitous image in their campaign material and logos.

The amendments to the Law on Political Parties are the second round of changes to the legislation this year, following an earlier amendment forcing Rainsy to resign as the president of the CNRP in February to avoid the possible dissolution of the party, just months ahead of the bellwether commune elections.

At around 9:30am, the amendments were passed at the National Assembly with 66 votes. The CNRP, which holds 55 seats to the ruling Cambodian People's Party’s 68, boycotted the vote.

The law bans parties from “using the voice, image, written documents or activities of a convicted criminal … for the interests of the party”, and from “accepting or conspiring with a convicted criminal to do activities in the interests of the party”. Currently Rainsy appears - along with party President Kem Sokha - on thousands of party billboards across the country, and is a regular speaker, via Skype, at opposition events.

The new law also prevents political parties from “supporting or organising any plans or conspiracies with any individual to undertake any actions against the interest of the Kingdom of Cambodia”. Any parties who violate the law could be banned from political activities for five years and disallowed from competing in elections, or even dissolved, the amendments say.

Rainsy, who is currently in self-imposed exile in France, yesterday took to Facebook to condemn the latest changes, branding them the “Anti-Sam Rainsy Law”...
