BBC HARDtalk | 26 September 2016
Sarah Montague
speaks to the president of the Cambodia National Rescue Party, Sam Rainsy.
The UN, USA and Europe all say
they are worried about what is going on in Cambodia. More than a dozen
opposition figures are in prison, the party's vice president hasn't left
their HQ in four months for fear of being arrested, and the opposition leader
Sam Rainsy - our guest today - fled the country to avoid jail.
The CNRP want to replace prime
minister Hun Sen, who has been in power for more than 30 years and whom they
claim has rigged past elections. They have threatened mass demonstrations if
the intimidation continues, but can their leader make a difference to life in
Cambodia when he is in self-imposed exile in Europe?
