Cambodian Centre for Independent Media (CCIM) was yesterday banned from broadcasting election news by the Ministry of Information. This is the first such instance of experience by CCIM of total censorship during polling day. Both Radio Sarika stations- FM106.5 in Phnom Penh and FM95.5 in Siem Reap- were shut down at intervals during the day: the Phnom Penh based station was allowed to broadcast only music programs until the close of polling stations at 3pm, whereas the Siem Reap station was shut down for the whole day.
