Product Description

The Cambodian League for the Promotion and Defense of Human Rights (LICADHO) today is releasing “The Fight for Freedom: Attacks on Human Rights Defenders, 2018-2020”.“The Fight for Freedom” is not an exhaustive list of all attacks targeting human rights defenders since the beginning of 2018. Instead, it highlights a number of high-profile cases where human rights defenders have been targeted for intimidation, arrest or imprisonment while trying to peacefully exercise their rights to association, assembly and expression as guaranteed both in Cambodia’s constitution and under international law. An annexe spanning the beginning of 2018 until the month leading up to this report’s publication draws upon the work of LICADHO’s human rights monitoring project to detail a broader, though still not comprehensive, pattern of attacks and threats against human rights defenders in Cambodia. In the three years since LICADHO last released a report on attacks on human rights defenders carried out by authorities, the government has overseen the dissolution of the main opposition Cambodia National Rescue Party (CNRP) and continued its repression of non-political human rights defenders and activists. The arrest and imprisonment of more than a dozen human rights defenders in the second half of 2020 has capped off three years of increasing repression of peaceful advocacy and activism by the ruling Cambodian People’s Party (CPP). But despite the ruling party’s unyielding grip on the nation’s civil and political institutions, Cambodians across the country persist, standing up to demand and defend their fundamental human rights.
