The head of Srotop Yuvakvey News Outlet, Pen Noun, was arrested by Oddar Meanchey military police at his home on the afternoon of 13 September after publishing a report on illegal logging in the province. He was released one day later after agreeing to stop using the photographs of provincial authorities in his reporting.

Noun posted a video on Facebook on 29 July regarding illegal timber being transported in Oddar Meanchey province. In the video, Noun calls on several provincial government officials to address the alleged criminal activity and shows photographs of several officials, including the provincial governor, the head of the provincial military police and the provincial police chief. Noun had been summonsed several times for questioning by the provincial military police since the video was published, but had requested delays so he could report on illegal logging in other provinces.
