[1/8] Cambodia’s Prime Minister Hun Sen and president of the ruling Cambodian People’s Party (CPP) attends an election campaign for the upcoming national election in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, July 1, 2023. Hun Sen said his Cambodian People’s Party (CPP) has ensured peace, socio-economic development and the strengthening of democracy, adding that rights and freedoms were being respected. The main opposition party was dissolved in 2017 over an alleged coup attempt, with scores of its members imprisoned. Hun Sen also recently ordered Cambodia's parliament to revise the law so that anyone who does not vote will be barred from contesting any future elections. This week Hun Sen quit Facebook for Telegram.

June 29 (Reuters) - Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen has stopped using Facebook to communicate with the public in favour of Telegram, switching to what he called a "better" application amid an ongoing case over whether he violated Meta Platforms' (META.O) rules. Meta's independent oversight board took on a case in March centred on allegations that Hun Sen violated Meta's community standards on violence and incitement. Hun Sen has a following of 14 million on Facebook, a figure close to the size of Cambodia's population. "It is better compared to Facebook," he said of Telegram in a post on Wednesday. Hun Sen has made no comment on the Meta case.

PHNOM PENH, Feb 12 (Reuters) - Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen ordered the shutdown of one of the last independent local news organizations in the country on Sunday night, saying it had attacked him and his son and hurt the country. "Commentators tried to attack me and my son Hun Manet," Hun Sen wrote. The story quoted government spokesperson Phay Siphan saying the prime minister's son and presumed successor Hun Manet had signed the aid agreement. Hun Sen, one of the world’s longest-serving dictators, on whose watch political rivals have been jailed and exiled, critical media outlets shuttered and civil dissent crushed, demanded a public apology. Hun Sen said the response was unacceptable.
