Government files complaint against Cambodia Daily journalist Zsombor Peter
I don't know what all the Khmer stuff says but the government isn't happy with him. Apparently he was doing political-related interviews and they made him sign an agreement saying he would stop.

Quick check on google and it sure looks like he could be classified as an enemy of the state, especially during upcoming election times with his low triple digit twitter followers and all... He look down Cambodia so much, so bad man nas. A few years ago this was his headline for an article he wrote for aljazeera

Bloggers and campaigners in Cambodia warn that new law is intended to thwart online debate.

He seems to have been writing a lot about logging recently, maybe that could be something to do with it?

Romantic Cambodia is dead and gone. It's with McKinley in the grave.
TOF reports that he was arrested for political reasons...

Did he really agree not to do political interviews and reports because the government arrested him and asked him not to? Why didn't he tell them to go f*ck themselves?

I doubt that they gave him a choice in the matter.
I refuse to go out with nothing more than a whimper followed by a small farting sound and a shit stain on my bed sheets..
Just thought I'd share that with you.

Of course he had a choice. They're not going to shoot a white journalist in the head for refusing to sign their document.

His linkedin profiles says hes been the Associate Editor for almost 8 years at CD which could be both a low or higher end position. Considering hes been there for 8 years he must be a bit higher than just a regular reporter?

Arrested in Rattanakiri so yeah, reporting about Kith Meng's logging agreements with the Vietnamese (Virachey National Park/Dragon's Tail), minority rights in the area and politics in general probably out him on a watchlist. He bad man, look down so much on Cambodia people and government. He not understand Cambodia culture and people, disrespectful.

He also won an award for a piece he wrote about deforestation in Cambodia at the Asian Environmental Journalism Awards in Singapore a few years back for this story -

I would quote it here but its very long, but a good read and very in depth.
Can't be overly safe when winning awards for writing on the dirty laundry of deforestation in Cambodia...

Here's the Cambodia Daily article about it:
https://www.cambodiadaily.com/news/repo ... ns-130305/
It doesn't say he was arrested so I will assume he wasn't.
