Cambodia’s Prime Minister Orders for the Closure of Human Rights Group


Prime minister, Hun Sen accuses the Cambodian Center for Human Rights of being conceived on foreign ideas and accepting foreign funds. Radio Free Asia, adds that Hun Sen’s government has also targeted opposition media outlets and non government organizations. 

Pa Nguon Teang, co-founder of the CCHR comments that the center was not wholly created by foreigners and that to close down the CCHR based on foreign funding is to shut down all NGO’s in Cambodia as they receive no support from the Cambodian government. He argues that the CCHR works to improve human rights in Cambodia and to close down will mean “Cambodians will be the ones who lose”.

The shutting down of NGO’s follows Hun Sen’s successful shut down of the opposition party, displaying his fear of free elections, free expression and association.

International NGO’s seeking to conduct operations in Thailand are advised to register to a foundation. This is because there are administrative obstacles to operating an international NGO in Thailand with no local entity registration.
