Bangkok, July 26, 2019 — Cambodia should drop incitement charges against two local journalists and stop using legal threats to intimidate and harass reporters, the Committee to Protect Journalists said today.
On July 19, in the Bei commune of the southern city of Sihanoukville, military police arrested Hun Sokha, publisher of the CPNTV news broadcaster, and Keo Ratana, publisher of the online news channel TN-TV, while they were live-streaming a protest by villagers trying to stop a private company from clearing land, according to press reports.
