Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen has ordered the shutdown of leading independent media outlet Voice of Democracy (VOD) on February 13 ahead of the country's elections in July. The International Federation of Journalists (IFJ) joins its affiliate, the Cambodian Journalists Alliance (CamboJA), in condemning the Prime Minister’s abuse of power and urging the Ministry of Information to reinstate the outlet’s media licence.
