Freedom of Expression in Cambodia: The Illusion of Democracy



Source: Licadho

In the six-month period covered in this report, LICADHO documented nearly 50 cases involving violations of expressive rights in Cambodia. These cases follow patterns, and their similarities are not coincidental. They have the markings of a systematic crackdown.

The targets range from community leaders to union representatives to opposition politicians, but anyone who speaks out against the interests of the elite is at risk. As the government has consolidated power, it is growing increasingly intolerant of criticism, more topics are becoming taboo, and the space for dissent is shrinking. The end result is that Cambodians are being prevented from participating in their own democracy.

Keep saying we keep building more departments and houses for our up coming vietnamese. We will reach 10 millions at 2015. Stupid or not stupid what occuring at Cambodia is fact.

Plus China won't help you anymore stop dreaming. You are wasting your time, talking like that only a loser like you khmer do.

Talking about prostitutes, cambodian girls and boys are even sex slave!

វាជាករពិត ដែលសិទ្ធសេរីភាព ក្នុងការបញ្ចេញ
មតិនៅកម្ពុជា គឺនៅមានកំរិតនៅឡើយ ។ តែអង្គការសង្គមស៊ីវិលមួយចំនួនដែល
រស់ដោយការឧបត្ថម្ភពីបស្ចឹមលោក ត្រូវតែនិយាយបំផ្លើសបន្ថែមលើសពីហ្នឹងទៅទៀត ដើម្បីអោយម្ចាស់ជំនួយ ចាប់អារម្មណ៍ ។ ព្រោះថា បើរបាយការណ៍ និយាយថាកម្ពុជា ជាប្រទេសមានសិទ្ធសេរីភាពបរិបូរ មានលទ្ធិប្រជាធិបតេយ្យពេញលេញនោះ គឺបុគ្គលិករបស់អង្គការសង្គមស៊ីវិលទាំងនោះ
នឹងត្រូវប្រឈមមុខនិងការបាត់បង់ការងារជាមិនខាន ៕៕
