In Cambodia, “legal intimidation remains a major concern” for journalists covering sensitive topics, according to Cambodian Journalists Alliance Association (CamboJA) in its latest quarterly monitoring report on the journalism situation in the country.
Prime Minister Hun Manet has instructed Minister of Information Neth Pheaktra to investigate the unprofessional and unethical conduct of a small number of journalists that undermine the dignity of their colleagues for personal gain. If any violations are found, their licenses will be revoked and they will be blacklisted.
