Chairman Royce on Outlawing of Opposition in Cambodia

The following press release was published by the House Committee on Foreign Affairs on Nov. 17, 2017. It is reproduced in full below.

Washington, D.C. - House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Ed Royce (R-CA) issued the following statement on the outlawing of Cambodia’s main opposition party by the Cambodian Supreme Court.

“This decision destroys any pretense of democracy in Cambodia. Future Cambodian ‘elections’ - including those scheduled for next year - cannot be legitimate without the participation of the major opposition party. Hun Sen and his thuggish regime have, sadly, achieved their goal of a one-party dictatorship. It won’t be accepted.".
