JOINT STATEMENT: FAKE OBSERVERS AND THE CAMBODIAN LEGISLATIVE ELECTIONS We, as domestic and international election monitors, denounce the attempt by the Government and the National Election Committee... anfrel.org/wp-content/upl…

Rogues gallery of “international observers” meet #Cambodia NEC today in Phnom Penh - representatives from #UKIP, Italian neo-fascists, MPs and hanger-ons fr Russia, Belarus, Kyrgyzstan, Serbia. Like the right-wing European “populists” mobilized a love-in for dictator Hun Sen

UPDATE: The NEC has again updated its voter turnout numbers. It is now at 82.71% compared to 80.49% an hour ago. Notably, Phnom Penh's turnout has jumped from 69% to 80%. This is starting to get questionable.

Winner of all time stupid comment of #CambodiaElection2018 goes to so-called int'l observer & #India #BJP official Vijay Jolly who says "all we see is people dancing on the streets of #Cambodia." Note to (overly) Jolly: Cambodia is not a #Bollywood movie scmp.com/news/asia/sout…

Election in #Cambodia is "a farce and a mockery of democracy by a prime minister keen to ratify his seizure of absolute power with a rubber stamp election” says Human Rights Watch to Bloomberg bloomberg.com/news/articles/… #CambodiaElection2018 #electionsKH

#CPP found & exploited any & every source of leverage to compel people to vote, & are scrutinizing compliance by looking for voting ink on the finger. I think that we can expect many incidents of retaliation against non-voters in coming days & weeks”Human Rights Watch asiancorrespondent.com/2018/07/death-…

#Cambodia: statements denouncing yesterday’s election by the US and Australia:
