The Cambodian People’s Party has begun to identify supporters and dissenters of the party nationwide, categorizing them by the amount of support they give in apparent preparation for the next national elections, according to documents and officials.

The CPP has ordered government officials to identify constituents by three levels of support: white, grey and black. Those who are most supportive of the party in different communes are labeled “white;” the least are labeled “black.”

According to a CPP Phnom Penh committee order dated Sept. 14, 2009, party members are asked to list “CPP families,” “other party families,” and “activists of other parties.” Members are also asked to count the number of people in villages and mark them as white, grey or black.
