Article | Over Five Years of Prison for Key CNRP Figures

5 June 2025audio available

Today marks more than five years in prison for three political activists from the now-dissolved opposition Cambodia National Rescue Party (CNRP). These men are not just campaigners: they are also fathers, brothers, and husbands – loved ones, whose absence remains deeply felt in the lives of their families to this day.

Since the CNRP’s dissolution by the Supreme Court in 2017, hundreds of politicians and activists have been arrested, tried, and convicted on charges of incitement and plotting against the state. Some have been released, but often only after apologising and joining the ruling party. Many others remain behind bars, and these three men have now spent more than half a decade in Cambodia’s overcrowded prisons.
