With general elections fast approaching, smaller competing parties are likely to be targets of threat and intimidation, the Cambodian Center for Human Rights said Tuesday.
In a monthly bulletin, the rights group warns that intimidation can include murder, but may be as seemingly small as the knocking down of party signs.
Government spokesman Khieu Kanharith said the rights group was wrong in its accusations, adding that smaller parties sometimes do not respect National Election Committee regulations.
Opposition members still face intimidation from the ruling Cambodian People’s Party, opposition leader Sam Rainsy said.
Meanwhile, competing parties such as the Sam Rainsy Party, Human Rights Party and Norodom Ranariddh Party, are still not properly allowed to express themselves, said Hang Puthea, executive director of the Neutral & Impartial Committee for Free & Fair Elections in Cambodia.
Destruction of parties signs is now more frequent in Phnom Penh than the provinces, he said.

Just as I always say: an atrocious Khmer Rouge is still vicious. This
puppet of Vietnam will never let go the golden opportunity to rule this country. He wants to pass down the power to his offsprings.
Hun Xen used to called his opponents animals. He Hun Xen worst than animals. He's blind both physically and spiritually.
Hey, 6:29 stop saying that Hun Xen blind both. . . . One day Hun Xen's gonna gouge out one of your eyes to fill in his. During the 5-6 July coup d état, he ordered his henchmen to gouge out a lot of people's eyes.
Why those people are afraid from this badge? The mainpoinkt that we (khmer) are afraid is our border, not afraind Khmer and Khmer.
Great, and thank to all real Khmer for helping to protect Khmer people, heritage, and culture, by standing up against the mad evil Xam Rainxy.
If your Hun Xen is really a strongman, no worry about the border 'cause he will protect it at all time; but if he's strong enough just to oppress his own people he's a sucked weak.
What is wrong with our border?
Khieu Kanharith is not even Khmer, he should be on trial with the KR for killing the original Khmers.
Done already, and the trial found him 100% innocent.
7:34AM AND 5:53PM
You must be born from Hanoi whore offspring and your dad is Hanoi trained Sen Taing Hun. You are Khmer enemy and we need to destroy you as well. My leader ,Honorable Sam Rainsy, is an intelligent and educated man whereas Ah Kwak Hun Sen is a farm boy, no moral, and brainless.
THERE IS NOT THING WRONG TO BE A FARM BOY 7:06PM, We can not choose what we were borned to, but what we are doing that make us a man or animal!
You still a shit head and stupid if you are not leurning any thing and do no good for society , Even you were borned in the Palace!
Exemple: Ranarith and Chakrapong!
