A Cambodian court has ordered the arrest of opposition leader Sam Rainsy on charges of “incitement” after he called on members of the public to disobey the strict COVID-19 lockdown that has been declared in Phnom Penh and surrounding areas.
The charge refers to comments that the exiled politician made in an interview with Radio Free Asia’s Khmer-language service on Tuesday, in which he lashed out at the government’s recently implemented lockdown, criticized its lack of aid to residents, and said its COVID-19 relief efforts were riddled with corruption.
