The Cambodian ambassador (picture) to the United Kingdom has called for international donors to withdraw their funding of anti-corruption watchdog group Global Witness.
The Ambassador Hor Nambora says the group needs to adopt a more responsible attitude.
In a statement issued in London, the ambassador says Global Witness is presenting false information as facts.
His comments follow Global Witness calling on the British government to revoke a visa issued to Cambodia's Prime Minister Hun Sen.
The rights group reports mounting international criticism over increasing levels of institutionalised corruption, repression and human rights abuse in Cambodia.
