2012 a Bad Year for Basic Freedoms, Activist Says

Rights advocates say 2012 was Cambodia's worst year on record for protecting basic human rights and freedoms. The shooting injuries of three women at a garment protest in Svay Rieng, the murder of an environmental activist in Koh Kong and the shooting death of a 14-year-old girl in Kratie province all contributed, as did the jailing or beating of journalists, rights advocates and activists. VOA Khmer's Men Kimseng discusses this and the prospect of a new, potentially worrying cyber law with Pa Nguon Teang, head of the Cambodian Center for Independent media.
