Independent news blocked in Cambodia ahead of elections
On July 27, two days before the general election, the Cambodian government blocked the Khmer websites of Voice of America and Radio Free Asia.
This blatant disregard for human rights and democratic values is not going unnoticed by the international community.
VOA and RFA provided unparalleled Khmer-language election reporting and made it available on shortwave radio and social media. Our journalists have been threatened, jailed and forced to leave the country. However, we will not stop in our efforts to inform and engage Cambodians through objective and uncensored news and information.
