Watchdog Kim Sok said Kem Sokha would be released on bail and taken home quietly with political rights restcitions. It's true now. So nothing to say about law, charges against opposition, activists & journalists are all politically motivated to assure the victory of the CPP.

We once saw this in Burmese military regime, but now it happens in Cambodia--detaining opposition leader in his house and ban all his political rights.

5 special military units were removed from RCAF High Command to be placed under the Royal Cambodian Army (Infantry). It's clear PM's son Hun Manet gains more power and the new RCAF's Commander-in-Chief Vong Pisen has less power. So Gen Manet is the pillar of the new regime.

NA President has 46 advisers & assistants while 2nd Vice President has 27. Hundreds of CPP members become advisers, assistants & cabinet staffs of the new regime & the Premier while other hundreds become officials in ministries & units. Very useless & waste of national budget!

The Daily needs to reopen. But RFA, VOA and other voices, the regime just allow local 📻 stations to reopen and broadcast their news program. Anyways, I believe it's not what the regime wants.

At the same time, CPP high-ranking official Cheam Yeap's son named Cheam Chansophorn was also appointed to be the governor of Tboung Khmum Province.

Next to O'Chherteal Beach, Sihanouk Ville, Cambodia. See how everything changes. When they talk too much about development in the province but without master plan, transparency & accountabilty...that's over. Photos last week by local NGO

Outspoken CNRP activist in Svay Rieng named Kong Mas was arrested this morning in Phnom Penh. He strongly supports Sam Rainsy-Kem Sokha leadership & criticizes govt a lot on FB. HUN SEN just said he would annihilate the opposition if the int'l communities sanction his regime.

“It’s been more than a year since a politicized Supreme Court decision effectively turned #Cambodia into a one-party state, but the government is still harassing former opposition party members through police interrogations and court summonses" says Human Rights Watch hrw.org/news/2019/06/0…

CNRP acting president Rainsy Sam will go back to Cambodia on November 09, Cambodian Independence Day, RFA Khmer/វិទ្យុអាស៊ីសេរី reports. Wait and see!

The US uses Global Magnitsky Act to sanction Try Pheap and Kun Kim and his family network. Try Pheap's 11 companies and 5 of Kun Kim's family are under the sanction. home.treasury.gov/news/press-rel…

A Cambodian migrant worker returning from Thailand tested positive for COVID-19 escaped from a quarantine facility since 16 July. He had escaped before his positive result was released.

Cambodia has hired a lobbying firm popular with accused dictators and kleptocrats on a $70,000/month retainer. My latest for Radio Free Asia: rfa.org/english/news/c…

Incredible insight into the new limestone concession, rampant logging and the elite networks profitting off destruction of Prey Lang Wildlife Sanctuary from that cracking team of Gerry Flynn @_andy_ball Vutha Srey news.mongabay.com/2022/05/large-…

We are deeply troubled by the conviction of respected leader Kem Sokha. His trial, built on a fabricated conspiracy, was a miscarriage of justice. Inclusive democracy would further the Cambodian people's aspirations for a prosperous society that respects all voices and rights.
