Cambodia: Revise or Abandon Draft NGO Law - Donors Should Insist on Protections for Civil Society
(Bangkok, December 22, 2011) – Donors, who provide approximately half of Cambodia’s national budget, should make clear to the Cambodian government that the fourth draft of the Law on Associations and NGOs (LANGO) must be revised to protect civil society or be withdrawn, a group of concerned international human rights organizations said today.

Cambodian Democracy Absorbs Another Blow as Assembly Strips Opposition MP’s Immunity
Phnom Penh (Dec. 20, 2011) - LICADHO condemns the National Assembly for its decision today to lift the parliamentary immunity of opposition party lawmaker Chan Cheng. The vote, which took place Tuesday morning, was a politically-motivated attack against Cheng, who is a member of the opposition Sam Rainsy Party (SRP) representing Kandal Province. "Cambodia’s democracy is already foundering, and this brings the system one step closer to becoming a total farce," said LICADHO’s Director, Naly Pilorge. "The suspension of Chan Cheng’s immunity renders the concept of parliamentary immunity meaningless. This is yet another disgrace for Cambodia’s democracy."
