 The Cambodian government doesn't seem to understand the sad irony of threatening critics of the prime minister on International Human Rights Day, but the rest of the world does. Cambodia seems to be traveling down the path to becoming an elected dictatorship. It is time for Cambodia's friends in the international community to reengage politically and make it clear to the government that it has to meet its human rights commitments. |
| The government has cracked down so much that today most of the major activists are already in jail. That means good people who once stayed inside and system and pushed the rules and who could have been tapped to modernize China, have been forced to step outside the system. |
| The government here has always been paranoid of the risks to stability and having activists link up. Now as [activists] appear to be able to reach across different boundaries and communities, the authorities are particularly nervous. |
| The government seems to have gone into fear mode over the last few years. From the outside it just seems absurd. But maybe they know something we don't know about the fragility of the political system. |
| The grenade attack and coup changed everything in Cambodian politics, and their consequences are still being felt today. They made it impossible to have serious elections the following year and paved the way for Hun Sen, through force, to become the country's unchallenged leader. And many Cambodians are still afraid to participate in politics, since to be involved in opposition politics is to risk your life. |
| The grenade attack sent a message that to oppose those in power is dangerous, even lethal, while those in charge who commit the worst kinds of human rights violations will get away with murder. |
| The message is clear: If you criticize the government, you will be thrown in jail. |
| The regulations have not created the space for the free exercise of religion that was promised. Instead, Chinese citizens who engage in the most basic religious activities can still find themselves arrested, in jail, or under threat. |
| The Security Council has taken up urgent human rights and political problems in more than 20 countries this year. If China moves to block this effort they should explain to Aung San Suu Kyi and average Burmese people why their concerns are less important. |
| The United States is setting a terrible example in Afghanistan on detention practices. |
| There is ample precedent for the Security Council to take up the human rights and political situation in a country with as horrific a record as Burma, especially when suffering spills across borders. |
| There is compelling evidence suggesting that U.S. personnel have committed acts against detainees amounting to torture or cruel, inhumane, or degrading treatment. |
| These are welcome moves in the right direction, but not sufficient and do not evidence a change of heart. |
| These charges are politically motivated and should be dropped. No one in any country should face jail for the peaceful criticism of a country's leaders. Trials like these are especially dangerous in Cambodia where the courts are controlled by the government. |
| They (the critics) shouldn't be standing on a trap door for the next three years that can be opened on the whim of Hun Sen. |
