Irish journalist held in Cambodia

THE family of an Irish journalist detained in a remote area of Cambodia has called on the Government to help secure his release.

Kevin Doyle, the editor of English-language newspaper The Cambodia Daily, was arrested in the eastern province of Mondol Kiri and is being held in a remote area.

He was detained along with an interpreter, an aid worker and another journalist on Friday after trying to track down Christian refugees fleeing to Cambodia from Vietnam.
