A human rights group has accused the Cambodian government of suggesting internet service providers should block access to anti-government websites. Cambodia’s government and the ISPs have denied the reports, but the leaked minutes from a meeting with the minister of post and telecommunications appear to tell another story. According to the Phnom Penh Post newspaper, which obtained the minutes, the minister has asked ten service providers to help block several internet sites.
