With the country celebrating Human Rights Day amid heightened political tensions, the new European Union (EU) ambassador raised concerns over the growing hostility between the ruling party and the opposition. “We’re concerned about recent political developments and have raised these concerns with authorities,” said Ambassador George Edgar at a press conference during an event at the EU delegation to commemorate the holiday. “We hope for a return to the culture of dialogue and a situation in which all parties are able to act freely.”

In a parliamentary session last month the EU issued a resolution condemning what it called a “string of arrests, convictions, threats and beatings orchestrated by the government against the opposition activists.” The resolution also urged the Cambodian government to revoke the outstanding arrest warrant for Mr. Rainsy, which it called “clearly politically motivated.”
Government spokesman Phay Siphan said yesterday that politics had nothing to do with the court’s decision to dust off Mr. Rainsy’s outstanding arrest warrant. “That is between Mr. Rainsy and the Municipal Court,” he said. “The rule of law comes before the culture of dialogue.”...

It's hard to say. The American senators got a meeting between the US ambassador and Namhong, and yesterday the CNRP and CPP met to discuss the trade union law.

That's a huge debate. Would it be better to just let them fight it out on their own? Wouldn't other parties get involved on one side or the other even if the US or EU didn't? At least they form countries with some sort of social law that works. Best we have anyway, definitely not perfect though. OTOH China?YaTingPom wrote:Yes but what's all that to do with the EU, or the USA.
