Original report from Phnom Penh
09 February 2009
The Internet provider AngkorNet denied on Monday reports it had blocked access to the Web site of the environmental group Global Witness.
Media reported Monday blocked access to the group’s site, following an indicting report on the exploitation of Cambodia’s oil and mineral rights by a political and business elite.
“Normally, AngkorNet does not block any Web sites, except what the government requests officially to do that,” Horm Sarith, Angkor Net networking engineer, said.
The government had not asked to block Global Witness, he said.
Minister of Post and Telecommunications So Khun said the ministry had no plan to block the group’s Web site.
The group’s 2007 report, “Cambodia’s Family Trees,” implicated a number of high-ranking officials and relatives of Prime Minister Hun Sen in illegal logging; the report was banned from the country.
This year’s report, “Country for Sale,” issued last week, has not been made available in hard copy, and access to the group’s Web site for AngkorNet users was impossible over the weekend.
By Monday afternoon, following several interviews from VOA Khmer, the site was accessible. Local media reported no problems with other Internet service providers.
Horm Sarith said the problem could be related to bandwidth limitations. Problems connecting to some sites were normal, he said.

Yeah, that right bandwidth.
KI likes to criticize people for being CPP tools but where in reality they are the tools of the hypocrite party called Sam Rainsy. If Sam Rainsy wants to tackle corruption, let us all ask him how he got the money to send his daughter Rachel to the top universities here in America?
Btw, his daughter's name is Rachel. That really shows how much he loves his Khmer root to the point that he names his daughter not Khmer name but some Western culture name. What a fucking traitor. Like father like son. Wasn't his father executed public ly on the charge of being a traitor?
7:50 AM, you CPP leech, go eat shit and die!!!
Indeed, 7:50, Ah Scam Rainxy is a dictator behind a democracy mask, but we don't care what he is. All we care about is that he doesn't steal Cambodia from Khmer people. That is all.
