Cambodian reporters charged with espionage for filing news to US
Phnom Penh, (MILLAT ONLINE):Two Cambodian journalists were charged on Saturday with spying for allegedly filing news reports to Washington-based Radio Free Asia amid a sweeping government crackdown on dissent.
The reporters were detained on Tuesday night, days before Cambodia’s main opposition party was dissolved over accusations it conspired with the US in a treason plot.
That case was blasted by Washington as baseless and decried by rights groups as hastening the country’s descent into a de facto one-party state under premier Hun Sen.
