geovalin Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 The US House of Representatives on Wednesday passed the Cambodia Democracy Act to impose sanctions on targeted members of Prime Minister Hun Sen’s inner circle for their alleged roles in undermining democracy in Cambodia and committing serious human rights violations. The bill was condemned by a ruling CPP spokesman who called it an attempt to disrupt the election in Cambodia. The Cambodia Democracy Act of 2018 also bars these individuals from entering the US and blocks any asset or property they may possess, said Edward Randall Royce, Chairman of the US House Committee on Foreign Affairs. Mr Royce named Mr Hun Sen and 16 other ruling CPP heads, including Interior Minister Sar Kheng and Defence Minister Tea Banh, as designated for sanctions. “The people of Cambodia deserve far better than the Hun Sen’s despotism. Political pluralism will soon reach Cambodia and this legislation would not only help Cambodians attain that goal, but will also send a strong signal that Congress will not tolerate these human rights abuses,” Mr Royce said. The bill was initiated to promote free and fair elections, political freedoms and human rights in Cambodia as the House believed this election will not be legitimate, he said. read more https://www.khmertimeskh.com/50516374/us-lawmakers-clear-bill-targeting-pms-close-aids/ -- © Copyright Khmer Times 27/07 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hun Sen’s inner circle should be left alone? Ok with me if Cambodia has absolutely no Americans or American involvement. Those people actually do deserve what they got/get. The USA has plenty of its own that need assistance, stay out of Cambo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
