Revoking citizenship: Cambodia’s new weapon against dissent



The new power passed amid border tensions with Thailand is really about consolidating control, critics say. But some in Cambodia defend it

Justice Minister Koeut Rith announced that the government would “urgently” draft the requisite legislation to enforce the measure against those convicted of treason or collaborating with foreign entities to the detriment of Cambodia and its people.

The legislative shift is being driven by both the ongoing border dispute with Thailand and a desire to fortify political control as regional geopolitics grow increasingly uncertain, according to analysts.
