Sign-on to Cambodia’s Civil Society Joint Statement
The Cooperation Committee for Cambodia (CCC) releases their Joint Statement petition and calls on others to show solidarity with Cambodians and their right to be heard. This is the 11th hour – a land rights NGO has already been suspended and a number of others are at risk. Time is running out to push back! Your collective support is needed in order for the government of Cambodia to reconsider their proposed Law on Associations and NGOs.
To show international solidarity, individuals and organizations are urged to sign-up by sending a YES e-mail to joint-statement.
Please indicate your name, organization name, and address as soon as possible. More information can be found at www.ccc-cambodia.org. This is an urgent call for global action as the draft law on associations and NGOs is in final stages! CCC had nearly 700 institutional sign-ons in the last round and would like to meet that level of global support again quickly. Please circulate this action widely with your colleagues and networks!
Also, please “like” the Facebook page “Oppose the Cambodian NGO and Associations Law” and tweet your concerns. CCC is currently collecting video clips and stories from Cambodians in the provinces in order to share more broadly in international and new media.
