RSF joins press freedom and civil society organisations in condemning Cambodian government's decision to revoke independent media VOD's licence

President Hun Sen’s order to shutdown Voice of Democracy (VOD), one of Cambodia’s last independent news media outlets, greatly imperils journalistic freedom in the country. With 92 other organisations, Reporters without Borders (RSF) condemns such an arbitrary decision and demands the immediate restoration of the VOD’s broadcasting licence.
