On 4 September 2021, a Voice of Democracy reporter was harassed by authorities when covering an ongoing land dispute of villagers affected by Phnom Penh's new International Airport land development project. This is the second VOD journalist who has been threatened when covering this dispute. Pok Kheuy, an intern at VOD, said that while he was interviewing villagers at the site of the land dispute, plain clothes authorities approached him, and took pictures of him and his motorbike. As he was driving his motorbike back to Phnom Penh, Kheuy noticed two people following him and later five uniformed police officers attempted to pull him over. Kheuy continued to drive away. The police then shouted at him to pull over to talk and when Kheuy refused to do so, they called him a 'thief'. Kheuy is now concerned over his safety.
