The Cambodian ambassador to the United Kingdom has called for international donors to withdraw their funding of anti-corruption watchdog group Global Witness.
The Ambassador Hor Nambora says the group needs to adopt a more responsible attitude.
In a statement issued in London, the ambassador says Global Witness is presenting false information as facts.
His comments follow Global Witness calling on the British government to revoke a visa issued to Cambodia's Prime Minister Hun Sen.
The rights group reports mounting international criticism over increasing levels of institutionalised corruption, repression and human rights abuse in Cambodia.

There is another HOR's son in Japan as ambassador. In the next years, his grandsons or daughters will become ambassadors in every country. Hun Sen wakes up. There are more people who might be better than all these guys. Give them a chance.
hey, someone has gotten to defend cambodia, especially with the bias media and all that out there! we are not afraid of true report, however we want fairness!
as long as he is smart, that's all we care!
Only Cambodia government would be doing such a thing... Any government with their right mind would not do that... I am ashamed and I am not even the showing my face in public.
Mr Hors , you need to stop twisting the facts about your government because everyone knows that your government has been abusing its power and corrupted from top to bottom . anyone who criticize your government would love to debate with you if dare to show up .
Below there are the comments where are extracted from Le Figaro news paper,July 20 2009 , around the Bastille Day of France,July 14 2009.
Instead of 5 days state visit French government had cut down to 2 days.
It was no official talking between Sarkozy & Hun Sen in the Elysee Palace.

1st Minister, placed by the strength of the Vietnamese invasion, the former Khmer Rouge commander Pol Pot, was celebrated at the feast of 14 July NLE. The community of Cambodians citizens french asks: his visit and his meetings with the French authorities (Minister of Foreign Affairs, MPs, Senators ...) they would be beneficial to the Cambodian people?
This honor restore its reputation, it would encourage even more the strong man to continue to commit its packages (human rights, political assassinations,, arbitrary arrests of elected officials, journalists ...). Or, we hope they are beneficial to the Cambodian people to know that after "wiped the floor french feet the blood of its packages and received lessons from France, human rights, democracy , freedom, the strong man of Phnom Penh apply the happiness of the people. A follow on his return! If it did not change its policy undemocratic, it would not deserve its place on the podium of 14juillet, National Day of Freedom

I understand your outrage but your Prime Minister has no place in France because of its trajectory. The friendship between France and Cambodia will exist forever, but your prime minister who abuses his countrymen does not represent the real Cambodia. When it was the marionette of the Marxist government of Vietnam, he liked little France.
Everyone in Cambodia is corrupt, except the poor who constitute the majority. C is with them that France is a friend, not with these corrupt, whether it be a symbol of Hun Sen or the symbol of the royal family who is re-filled pockets since 1991.
All international organizations are saying in their reports.
before it is long ...

Corrupt countries, represented by the Hun Sen gangster whose wife requires Cartier jewelry closes its doors in order to spend millions of euros of the people of Cambodia, Cambodia should not be represented at the celebration of French democracy.
The Royal Family, represented by the great Prince Ranaridth thief (elder brother of the King), which has the same s exile in Malaysia in 2006 in order to avoid prison, represents an incredible corruption, while he lived in a modest 2-room flat in Aix in Provence during the exile from 1975 to 1991.
99% of Cambodians are trying to survive on less than one euro per day.
N this country has no place here July 14. When true democracy will be installed, France will give him all the honors.
a little bit about global witness. from what i understand this extreme group of activists is unpopular i america for a number of reason: 1) the want only sustainable development which is the same was no development at all. they are extreme group of trouble-maker, almost like a bunch of unruly individuals who got together to protest, demonstrate, etc all over the world for a living. so, i'm glad our ambassador rebutted their claim, which is a groundless claim due to their extreme philosophy to keep cambodia underdeveloped so they can exploit our country. i say, please kick them out of cambodia. thank you and god bless cambodia.
