PHNOM PENH: Cambodia on Tuesday hit back at “politically driven” and “biased” concerns from Western governments over the shutdown of one of the country’s last independent media outlets ahead of national elections.
The online news outlet Voice of Democracy (VoD) stopped broadcasting in English and Khmer on Monday. Prime Minister Hun Sen had ordered its licence revoked over what he said was an erroneous report about his eldest son. Its website was still accessible as of Tuesday afternoon but no new content has been posted.
