柬埔寨斯昆省近日發生一宗罕見且高度戲劇化的武裝劫獄事件，一名越南籍女子企圖以武力解救六名同胞囚犯，最終導致整起行動在數小時內全數瓦解，而涉案的七人也全部落網。事件引起柬國社會強烈震動，政府更因此展開全國監獄與法院安保體系的全面審查，顯示案情的嚴重性遠超一般越獄事件。

事件發生於2025年11月18上午。該名越南籍女子事前精心策劃，她以家屬身分進入斯昆省法院，偽裝成前來會見囚犯的親戚。當時六名涉及網路賭博與跨境詐騙案的越南籍囚犯正被押解下車準備出庭。就在這個短暫的空檔，女子突然遞出一把槍械給其中一名囚犯，並引發現場混亂。守衛措手不及，六名囚犯趁機逃離法院，瞬間演變成一起公開的武裝越獄行動。

消息傳出後，柬埔寨警方立即展開全省緊急追捕行動。僅僅一小時內，警方便成功抓獲其中一名逃走的越南籍囚犯。到當日晚間，其餘五名越南籍逃犯以及一名在混亂中企圖搭便車逃走的柬埔寨籍囚犯也被逐一逮捕。整場武裝劫獄從策動到失敗，不過短短半天，警方迅速行動使事件未進一步擴大。

然而，事情並未因逃犯被捕而告一段落。11 月 19 日，一名涉事記者康灑落（Kong Salak）因在採訪過程中對落網的越南籍女子進行不當言行，被柬埔寨新聞部撤銷記者證，並列入行業黑名單。官方表示，媒體在處理敏感案件時必須維持專業與尊重，他的行為違背新聞倫理，因而需接受懲處。

在事件的壓力下，柬埔寨政府宣佈啟動全國監獄與法院安保系統的全面審查，包括押解流程、訪客審核制度與武器管控措施。原訂的相關庭審也因此被無限期延後，由國家級調查組接手後續偵辦。政府強調，此案暴露司法機構在安全防護上的漏洞，必須立即進行強化，以防範類似事件再次發生。

這起武裝劫獄事件因其大膽程度、跨國涉案身分與快速落幕的過程，在柬埔寨與越南皆引起熱烈討論。許多民眾對安保漏洞感到震驚，也有人質疑背後是否存在更大的犯罪網絡。案件目前仍在進一步偵查中，而柬埔寨社會對後續調查結果仍保持高度關注。

Cambodia was shaken this week by an unusually bold and dramatic armed prison-break attempt in Skun Province, involving a Vietnamese woman who tried to free six detained compatriots. What began as a carefully planned rescue operation ended within hours, with all seven involved individuals arrested. The case has prompted a nationwide review of Cambodia’s court and prison security systems and has drawn intense public and media attention in both Cambodia and Vietnam.

The incident took place on the morning of November 18, 2025. A Vietnamese woman, whose identity has not yet been officially released, disguised herself as a relative visiting the suspects. At the time, six Vietnamese prisoners—accused of involvement in online gambling networks and cross-border fraud schemes—were being escorted into the Skun Provincial Court for a scheduled hearing. Seizing a moment when guards were transitioning the prisoners from the transport vehicle, the woman passed a firearm to one of the detainees and triggered chaos in the courthouse grounds. Amid the confusion, all six prisoners fled, turning the situation into a rare case of an armed escape attempt inside a Cambodian judicial facility.

Police immediately initiated an emergency manhunt across the province. Within just one hour, officers managed to recapture one of the escaped Vietnamese prisoners. By late afternoon the same day, the remaining five Vietnamese fugitives were located and arrested, along with one Cambodian inmate who had attempted to escape during the commotion. The entire incident—from the attempted jailbreak to the final arrests—was contained in less than half a day, thanks to the rapid deployment of police forces.

A new layer of controversy emerged the following day. On November 19, 2025, Cambodian journalist Kong Salak had his press credentials revoked by the Ministry of Information after he was found to have behaved inappropriately toward the detained Vietnamese woman during media coverage. Authorities stated that his conduct violated professional reporting standards, and he was subsequently blacklisted from the journalism industry. The government stressed that reporters must maintain ethical behavior, especially in sensitive criminal cases.

In response to the security breach, the Cambodian government announced a comprehensive national review of court and prison security protocols. The investigation will examine prisoner transport procedures, visitor screening measures, and weapon-control policies within judicial facilities. All upcoming hearings related to the case have been postponed indefinitely while a national investigative task force takes over the matter. Officials acknowledged that the attempted jailbreak exposed significant vulnerabilities in the country’s security systems and emphasized the need for immediate reforms.

The armed rescue attempt, its rapid collapse, and the subsequent media scandal have triggered widespread discussion. Public reaction ranges from shock at the audacity of the operation to speculation about whether a larger criminal network may have orchestrated the escape attempt. As the investigation continues, both Cambodia and Vietnam remain focused on uncovering the full circumstances behind this extraordinary event.
