Cambodian newspaper shuts amid govt crackdown on free speech
The Cambodia Daily, an independent newspaper, shut down on Monday after 24 years in operation. It printed its last edition with the headline "Descent Into Outright Dictatorship" amid a crackdown on critical expression against Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen. The paper was ordered to close by the government over allegations that it had not paid $6.3 million in back taxes.
