Social Media Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 Cambodia's leader Hun Sen has shut down one of the country's last independent media outlets - just months before the country's election. VOD, or the Voice of Democracy, had published a story last week that "hurt" his government's reputation, Hun Sen said in a Facebook post on Sunday. He has refused to accept the group's apology - cancelling its licence on Monday. Advocates say VOD's loss is a major blow to the nation's limited press. Editors at the news organisation confirmed to the BBC that police had arrived at their Phnom Penh office on Monday morning with an order revoking their operating licence. Access to past stories on VOD's Khmer and English sites has also been blocked by some internet service providers, staff confirmed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
