PHNOM PENH, Cambodia (AP) — Cambodia’s prime minister has denounced two U.S.-funded radio stations for what he described as inaccurate and unfair reports.
Hun Sen said Friday that reports broadcast in the Cambodian language by Voice of America and Radio Free Asia were groundless. The stations carry news and analysis sometimes critical of the government on subjects such as human rights and corruption.
Shortwave radio stations are a major source of unfettered news for people in Asian countries with authoritarian regimes, such as Cambodia and Myanmar. Satellite TV broadcasts are also popular where media is controlled or heavily censored by the government.
