Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen voiced regret on Thursday that he hadn’t had leaders of protests against his ruling Cambodian People’s Party in 2013 and 2014 killed, saying only that he hadn’t wanted to do this “at the time.”

Hun Manith, the son of Prime Minister Hun Sen, has been “promoted” as a board member and adviser of the Cambodian Mine Action Centre (CMAC) – a position equal to a cabinet minister.
Prime Minister Hun Sen left Cambodia for a four-day official visit to Nepal to attend the Asia-Pacific Summit 2018 in Kathmandu, which began the same day. He will also hold “bilateral talks” with Nepalese leaders.
On one hand Minister of Interior Sar Kheng on Tuesday instructed municipal and provincial authorities to facilitate the activities of civil society organisations and local communities without restriction and prior notice as previously required. On other hand Cambodia’s Ministry of Labor on Thursday asked all union leaders and labor activists who have court cases pending against them to report to the ministry so it can work with justice officials to have the charges dropped, in a move by Prime Minister Hun Sen’s authoritarian regime to ease pressure by the international community over his human rights record.https://bit.ly/2RvtzsS; https://bit.ly/2KNrGFt; https://bit.ly/2rkgkQ5; https://bit.ly/2zD4VzH; https://bit.ly/2U7rgOh; https://bit.ly/2BOkgPh;
