Ranked 143rdout of 179 countries in the 2013 World Press Freedom Index of Reporters Without Borders, Cambodia is at its lowest ranking ever. It fell 26 places from 2012 as a result of the events that occurred in 2012 related to freedom of expression and freedom of the press. In most of the cases, the journalists are summoned to Court according to the penal code instead of the press law. Although freedom of the press is guaranteed under the Article 41 of the Cambodian constitution, it is not a reality in Cambodia.
