The Cambodian leader's goal is to establish a North Korean-style dynasty under which his descendants will continue to hold power indefinitely.

Despite his party's nearly unchallenged dominance, Hun Sen is bent on preventing the emergence of a political alternative.

During his visit to Phnom Penh this week, U.S. President Joe Biden must hold Prime Minister Hun Sen accountable for the country's steep democratic decline.

Theary Seng’s stand comes ahead of U.S. President Joe Biden’s visit to Cambodia for this week’s ASEAN summits.

Censorship and self-censorship are less repressive than being forced to express and affirm a regime's lies.

Sam Rainsy is accused of plotting to cede four Cambodian provinces to the country's indigenous peoples.

The Cambodian leader may have wanted simply to clear his name – but there is another, more chilling, explanation.

Exiled opposition figure Sam Rainsy had accused Prime Minister Hun Sen of responsibility for the deaths of a leading Cambodian trade unionist and the former chief of police.

The 37 defendants are accused of "incitement to treason" over an opposition politician's failed attempt to return to Cambodia from exile in early 2021.

Sam Rainsy has finally received his day in court – but in Paris rather than in Phnom Penh.

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