Cambodia: Joint Letter to Huruhiko Kuroda, President of Asian Development Bank, regarding the draft law threatening civil society in Cambodia

19-Nov-2011

Publication : Press Release

We write to bring your immediate attention to Cambodia’s draft Law on Associations and NGOs (LANGO). The draft law poses a serious threat to civil society’s freedom of association and freedom of expression as it contains broad and vague provisions that could be used to arbitrarily deny registration or close NGOs or associations. The ADB should convince the Cambodian authorities to immediately withdraw the draft law.
