PHNOM PENH, CAMBODIA
Military personnel is being deployed to implement a “compulsory” vaccination campaign in parts of Phnom Penh designated “red zone” to inoculate half a million people, said a senior Royal Cambodian Armed Forces general.
Prime Minister Hun Sen on Tuesday ordered the deployment of military medical officers and soldiers to administer and manage a COVID-19 vaccination drive for Phnom Penh residents living in “red zones.” These are high-risk areas where people are not allowed to leave their homes and all business activity is banned due to a high case count.
Kem Sokha s Facebook Page
Watchdogs and political analysts are calling on the leader of Cambodia’s banned main opposition party to push for a faster trial in an effort to solve political deadlock so the country can move on, the analysts told RFA.
Cambodia’s Supreme Court dissolved the opposition Cambodia National Rescue Party (CNRP) in November 2017, two months after the arrest of party leader and co-founder Kem Sokha for his role in an alleged scheme to topple Prime Minister Hun Sen with the help of the U.S. government.
His trial began on Jan. 15, 2020 but was suspended in March on the pretext of the coronavirus pandemic, and Hun Sen has hinted that it may not resume for years, and may not conclude until 2024, long after the next election cycle.
