The Phnom Penh municipal court sentenced two British nationals to 14 and 10 years and a total 24 million riel fine for using, possessing, trafficking and transporting cannabis. They had been arrested at Phnom Penh airport on 17 June 2025 with 19.9 kg of dried cannabis before a UK flight. The 14-year term exceeds the 5–10 year band for 8–20 kg, suggesting aggravation or a charging issue.[1]
