US restricts entry to Cambodians

WASHINGTON, D.C.: The United States said on Wednesday it will bar entry to Cambodians who undermine their country’s democracy and called on the government to reverse a crackdown on the opposition.

Cambodia’s Supreme Court, effectively controlled by strongman Prime Minister Hun Sen, outlawed the opposition Cambodia National Rescue Party last month and banned more than 100 of its politicians. It accused the party of attempting to overthrow the government.
