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.

Cambodia News (Kompong Thom Province): On September 28, 2021, law enforcement officers arrested two officers in accordance with a complaint filed by the 32-year-old victim, Thy Nhanh, a house builder from Laok village, Kompong Thmor commune, who was beaten up for refusing to pay bribes.
The two suspects who werer arrested for interrogation, and are awaiting trial, were a 34-year-old officer Uch Sokrith from Tropang Chhouk village, Sangkat Teuk Thla, Khan Sen Sok, and a 31-year-old officer, Keo Rina, from village 20 on street 614, Sangkat Boeung Kok 2, Khan Toul Kork.
Two other suspects, who were also detained, were declared innocent of any violence and were released from custody.

Before the incident, the four suspects set up an unauthorized patrol checkpoint and stopped the victim from passing through with the nine planks of wood he needed for a house construction on the other side of the checkpoint.
Two of the suspects started harassing the victim by slapping and kicking him after he refused to pay them. The victim was severely beaten which led to him filing a police report.

So did I! I was wondering if these John Lennon style glasses were a new thing in Kampong Thom.

One could dream

Maybe one day they'd realize they're no different from the guy looking for cans through their garbage, maybe one day the lowly drink shop owners would understand also

Of course, one could dream. But Cambodian culture is in favor of the big boys.
