Cambodia Politics

April 2006
Earlier this year it appeared Cambodia was sliding into an all out dictatorship. But weeks before an important donor meeting the leader has pardoned his rivals.

A few weeks ago, opposition leader Sam Rainsy was in exile after being sentenced in absentia to 18 months in jail for defaming the Prime Minister. Other government critics were slapped with lawsuits. "We had to be very careful what we said. We didn't know the limits." But now the two men have made up and the pressure is on Rainsy to prove he won't become the PM's poodle.
