Amid turmoil, EU calls for review of aid to Cambodia
The European Parliament on Thursday passed a resolution accusing the Cambodian government of laying politically motivated charges against the opposition and calling for aid cuts if its respect for human rights fails to improve—a loud echo of a resolution it passed just six months ago. “Today, we have to repeat that the Hun Sen government is brutally repressing not just freedom of expression and association but also any form of human rights defense,” Ignazio Corrao of Italy said.
