As the country heads toward national elections next year, the government is seeking to neutralize the influence of opposition leaders living in exile abroad.

Sam Rainsy and eight former CNRP officials have been accused of seeking to overthrow the Cambodian government in late 2019.

The attempt nonetheless succeeded in drawing international attention to the repression inside the country.

The Cambodian government says it will not grant travel documents to exiles hoping to return to stand trial.

Prime Minister Hun Sen’s onslaught against the Cambodian opposition has not ceased.

Leaders of Cambodia's disbanded opposition party hope to call international attention to the country's political situation.

The year since the controversial poll brought growing repression at home and further isolation abroad.

The comeback strategy in the works amounts to a bold leap into the unknown, and it is unclear if it will pay off.  

If Canada wants to be critical of the Cambodian government, it will have to be proactive.

The CNRP inspired people to believe their votes count even in a system where this was always unlikely to be the case.
