Cambodia Faces Accusations of Widespread Political Imprisonment
Original: Cambodia: Imprisonment of Activists, Politicians, and Journalists Amid Unrelenting Crackdown
Human Rights Watch says Cambodian authorities are waging an unrelenting crackdown, jailing activists, opposition politicians, and journalists. The group's report highlights what it calls politically motivated imprisonment under Prime Minister Hun Sen's government. Rights groups have repeatedly criticized Cambodia's judicial system for targeting government critics, particularly ahead of electoral periods, while Phnom Penh rejects such allegations as foreign interference.
Why now: A new Human Rights Watch report on Cambodia's imprisonment of government critics has drawn fresh attention to the country's human rights record.
