Cambodia anti-graft agency arrests journalist for alleged extortion

Three local reporters accused of extortion were arrested by the Anti-Corruption Unit as they enjoyed a party at a restaurant in Kampot. It marks the first time that the ACU, usually seen as an organisation that targets government officials, has arrested journalists. The journalists – Sor Sunly, a reporter for Hang Meas TV and Kampuchea Thmey, Tol Hok Ly, a reporter for TV 9, and a man known as Sovann who works for Apsara TV – have been sent to Phnom Penh for questioning.
