The arrest and detention of opposition
Chheang Vannarith of the Cambodian Institute for Strategic Studies and a visiting fellow at the ISEAS – Yusof Ishak Institute in Singapore, said some parties had seized on the CNRP president’s arrest to criticise “Asian” style democracy.
“This arrest is a domestic issue related to the security and sovereignty of Cambodia. Whilst there can be international concern, it has gone overboard to the extent the reason for the arrest and the accusations against him have been overlooked,” he said.
