“If we continue this culture, we cannot build a democratic society.”
The Cambodian Center for Human Rights has posted the names of 10 journalists who were killed over the last 16 years, “to remind the public and ministries concerned not to forget them.”
The inability for police to solve the murders shows “the government has no will or is in capable,” said Ou Virak, head of the center.
The center has posted the names and the circumstances surrounding the murders on its website.
Reporters killed include those who supported the opposition Sam Rainsy Party, as well as royalist Funcinpec and the pro-government newspaper Koh Santepheap, between 1994 and 2008.
