Animal attacks: Two bitten by escaped black bear

BY Buth Reaksmey Kongkea TWO villagers were seriously injured after being attacked by a large male black bear that escaped from Phnom Tamao Zoo in Takeo province on Thursday, said Seng Saroeun, deputy police chief of Trapaing Sap commune. Son Tim, a 50-year-old farmer from the commune’s Trapaing Sap village, sustained serious wounds on his leg and hand when he tried to catch the escaped bear in his rice field on Friday. Meanwhile, Minh Chan, 57, was injured in the leg on the same day while trying to chase the escapee out of her watermelon patch, said Seng Sarouen. He said the victims were rescued by villagers and were immediately sent to the district health centre, adding that the zoo would pay for their treatment. Nhem Thy, deputy director of Phnom Tamao Zoo, said that the male bear escaped on Thursday night by digging a hole to escape from his cage. “We sent our staff to catch it when we received reports that it bit villagers in Trapaing Sap village and we shot it with tranquilis

Phnom Penh to revamp street signage

BY Buth Reaksmey Kong Nhem Saran, director of the municipal Department of Public Works and Transport, said yesterday that the project would begin in the city centre early next year before being gradually extended to the outskirts of the capital. The project – which is set to upend Phnom Penh’s anarchic system of street and house numbering – came about as a means of enhancing public order, he said. “I notice that many houses and even streets still lack signs, which makes it very hard for our officers to implement their daily work,” he said. “Once all houses, villas, flats and roads in Phnom Penh are adequately labelled, it will make things less complicated for us and our people, and accelerate development and progress in our country.” He said the Chinese Chung Hong Company had been commissioned to manufacture the aluminum signs, but that businesses and homeowners in the capital would be required to pay US$4 each to cover the costs. The scheme received a mixed reaction from residents yes

Former police official pleads innocent to drug charges

By Buth Reaksmeykongkea PHNOM Penh Municipal Court yesterday heard a case against an ex-police officer and his alleged accomplice charged with trafficking drugs. Sam Chansa, a 38-year-old former police official, was arrested in April by undercover agents posing as drug dealers, said Sok Mut, chief of the Anti-Drug Unit at the Interior Ministry’s Anti-Drug Trafficking Department. “One of our policemen pretended to be a drug buyer, meeting the suspect at a coffee shop,” he said. “After having seen the money being used to trap him, Sam Chansa called his wife to hand over 225 grams of ‘ice’ drugs [methamphetamine] to a second policeman who pretended to be a drug broker.” Sok Mut said Sam Chansa’s wife had fled the scene and evaded arrest, allegedly taking the drugs with her. Huot Seng, 35, was arrested later the same month on suspicion of supplying drugs to Sam Chansa. Both men pled innocent during yesterday’s hearing, retracting previous confessions that they claimed were coerced during

Uniforms, ID cards to curb trafficking

By Buth Reaksmey Kongkea AGENTS working for licensed labour recruitment firms will from January be required to wear uniforms and carry identity cards in a bid to differentiate them from unlicensed brokers. An Bun Hak, president of the Association of Cambodian Recruitment Agencies, said the move – a joint initiative of the Labour Ministry, the Interior Ministry and the ACRA – came in response to a recent spate of cases involving trafficked or abused migrant workers. “We learnt about why there were always problems with the workers and then we found that 90 percent were caused by recruitment,” An Bun Hak said. He said unlicensed brokers often provided their recruits with false information. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- There were always problems with the workers ... we found that 90 percent were caused by recruitment. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- “For example, the cheaters tell them

General’s son charged over three road deaths

By Buth Reaksmey Kongkea KOEUN Sotharaneth, the 16-year-old son of a general in the National Police, has been charged with manslaughter after he killed three people in a car accident in Kandal province on Friday night. Ouk Kimseth, a prosecutor at Kandal provincial court, said the boy was charged on Saturday and was in detention awaiting trial. Police said the teenager was speeding along Street 21A in Takhmao town on Friday evening when he lost control of his vehicle and hit three people who were driving their motorbikes along the side of the road. Iv Chamroeun, the provincial chief of police, said the three victims – Mao Tharith, 54, Chea Heng, 50, and Chea Eng, 51, all of Chong Koh village in Takhmao – were killed immediately. After the accident, police took Koeun Sotharaneth to the provincial police station for further questioning. The boy’s 23-year-old bodyguard was also taken in for questioning, but was released the same night. Meas Chanby from Handicap International Belgium sa

Police release rubber thieves – for a price

By Buth Reaksmey Kongkea TWO men who were arrested after trespassing on a Kampong Cham rubber plantation were freed after paying local police a US$300 bribe, according to a local rights activist. Seng Uorn, a 42-year-old farmer, said he and his friend Minh Tum, 31, entered the Long Sreng Rubber Plantation in Stung Trang district’s O’Mlou commune on Tuesday to collect rubber sap, when they were surprised by security guards. “The guards chased us with the company car and tried to hit us. We tried to get away but my motorbike was hit and I was detained. Minh Tum was shot and seriously injured while he was trying to get away from there,” he said. Seng Uorn added that the guards then tied him to a rubber tree and beat him. Phuong Sophea, Adhoc’s investigating officer in Kampong Cham, said Minh Tum was seriously injured in the shooting. The pair, who were subsequently arrested, thumbprinted agreements saying they would not sue the guards for their actions. Phuong Sophea added that Seng Uo

Sambo Heads to New Home

By Adam Miller and Buth Reaksmey Kongkea Sambo, the bull elephant that terrorised a small village in Kampong Speu province earlier this month, has finally found a new home at Phnom Tamao Zoo, following a Herculean effort by Forestry Administration officials and local NGOs to safely relocate him on Saturday. Ahead of his arrival at the zoo, the raging hormonal beast, who was in the musth period of his adult life – a time of intense aggression that affects bull elephants periodically – was tranquilised and coaxed into a steel cage while hundreds of villagers watched on. For hours, local vendors cashed in on the spectacle, selling coconut ice cream and loaves of bread to gawking locals who drank and cheered as the caged Sambo was hoisted onto the back of a truck. “The situation was certainly not ideal. We were in a location close to many people and this did not make looking after him easy,” said Jack Highwood, director of the Elephant Livelihood Initiative Environment. “We had to dea

Photographer to be set free

By Buth Reaksmey Kongkea Japanese photojournalist Go Takayama (R) poses for a photograph with newlyweds he photographed as part of a photo essay he was working on in Siem Reap on November 19. A Japanese photojournalist jailed on charges of producing pornography was set to be released following intervention from Information Minister Khieu Kanharith, Siem Reap Provincial Prosecutor Ty Soveinthal said yesterday. Local officials have alleged that Go Takayama, 28, photographed women at brothels in Siem Reap, though organisers of the recently concluded Angkor Photo Festival say the photos in question were inoffensive portraits of a married couple. Ty Soveinthal said Takayama and the couple arrested along with him would likely be released today or tomorrow, following a hearing at the provincial court scheduled for today. “I have already completed my investigation of the Japanese photographer, and I think his punishment should be very minor and he should not be jailed in Cambodia,” Ty Sovei

Japanese photojournalist to face charge of producing pornography

Buth Reaksmey Kongkea A Cambodian bride poses for a portrait during a wedding in Siem Reap on November 19. The picture, which was taken with the permission of the woman and her husband, is part of a series of photos by Japanese photojournalist Go Takayama, who was arrested last month on charges of producing pornography. THE Siem Reap provincial court will try a Japanese man next week on charges of producing pornography, though the defendant claims the photos were shot as part of an inoffensive project for the recently-concluded Angkor Photo Festival. Chea Heng, deputy chief of Siem Reap’s anti-human trafficking and juvenile protection office, said Go Takayama, 28, had been arrested last month after he hired a Cambodian man and a female sex worker to take him to photograph women at a brothel in Siem Reap district’s Thvay Dangkum commune. Police discovered 78 illicit photos on Takayama’s camera that depicted sex workers in Siem Reap, Chea Heng added. “I think this is a serious offenc

Bogus official faces fraud charges

Buth Reaksmey Kongkea Kandal provincial court has charged a 41-year-old man with public-letter fraud after he was arrested on suspicion of distributing business cards and documents claiming he was an official in Prime Minister Hun Sen’s cabinet. Sdoeung Saroeun, a Kandal native, was arrested October 30 in Prek Chiek village, in Ponhea Leu district’s Koh Chin commune, after villagers suspected his credentials were fraudulent and tipped off police. “He was arrested because he pretended that he had a role within the Prime Minister’s cabinet and used that title to further his business in cities and provinces throughout Cambodia,” said Kandal province police chief Eav Chamroeun. He said the accused used his fake title to buy land from villagers, though he could not confirm how much was purchased, or in what provinces. Ouk Kimseth, prosecutor of Kandal provincial court, said the accused was being detained at the provincial prison and would be held until investigations were completed. “We

Koh Pich guards detain photographer

By Sebastian Strangio and Buth Reaksmey Kongkea A staff photographer for The Phnom Penh Post was briefly detained by private security guards while taking pictures on Diamond Island yesterday, following last week’s deadly stampede on a bridge leading to the island. “When I arrived there I started taking pictures, the security guard arrived and asked it I had permission from the developer,” said photographer Pha Lina, who went to the island to take photos of local vendors. He said three guards escorted him back to their office, where he was forced to delete the photos from his camera, while security guards took down his ID card and motorbike licence plate numbers. A copy was also made of his ID card. “They said ‘you are not allowed’,” Pha Lina said. “And the security guard explained to me that after the stampede, they don’t want people to report about the quiet place here. We want more people to come.” The claim came after last week’s deadly stampede, which killed 352 people and injur

Boy Drowns During Festival

Buth Reaksmey Kongkea Dragon boat teams steer towards the bank of the Tonle Sap river on Saturday as the first round of competitions kicked off in Phnom Penh. Two racers were injured in Saturday’s competition, while five boats capsized. AN 8-year-old boy drowned on the first day of the Water Festival, while five boats were sunk after the first two days of races, leaving two competitors injured. According to witness accounts reported to police, the boy was trying to collect bottles and empty cans that had been discarded at the Tonle Sap river’s edge on Saturday, when he was swept away by the river’s current and then submerged under the Royal Palace’s boat. Phnom Penh deputy police chief Pen Rath said yesterday that authorities were still searching for the victim’s body. “He disappeared on Saturday about noon near the Royal Palace’s parade, at the Water Festival ceremony, while he was swimming to collect the empty bottles and cans for sale,” he said. He says the Water Festival attract

Court Hears Case on Smuggling

Buth Reaksmey Kongkea Phnom Penh Municipal Court yesterday heard the case against a man accused of importing, exporting and stockpiling chemicals used in the manufacture of illegal drugs. Siek Cheng, 35, was arrested on April 4 in Tuol Kork district’s Chraing Chamresh commune after police searched his home and found 30 litres of acids allegedly used in the manufacturing of drugs. During the hearing yesterday, presiding judge Sin Visal said the suspect was facing charges of illegal drug smuggling and stockpiling drug substances. “Importing and exporting drugs is a very serious charge and is prohibited in Cambodia,” he said. “We will not pardon those who have committed such crimes in this country.” Defence lawyer Lim Hong rejected the charges against his client. “According to police investigations, results have shown that this amount of acid did not contain any chemicals for drugs, and my client was not involved,” he said. “I request that the court drop the charges and free my client.

Man Faces 15 years for making fake IDs

Buth Reaksmey Kongkea PHNOM Penh Municipal Court yesterday heard the case against a man accused of forging public documents after police confiscated materials used in the production of fake licences and ID cards in his house. Soy Vuthy, 25, was arrested near Monivong Bridge in Chamkarmon district while attempting to deliver three fake vehicle licenses to his clients. District police chief Iv Chhun Pheng said that during a subsequent raid on the suspect’s house, officials confiscated a photocopy machine, plastics, stamps and a further 60 fake documents including student and ID cards. During the hearing yesterday, Soy Vuthy denied the charges and claimed that his business was legitimate. “My business is to laminate cards and copy all kinds of documents to the customers’ demands,” he said. “I do not know which documents are real or fake.” Defence lawyer Ros Aun said his client was illiterate and as such unable to read Khmer or any foreign languages, let alone tell whether a document wa
