On February 13, Cambodia’s Prime Minister Hun Sen shuttered the independent Voice of Democracy (VOD) news outlet after a disputed report on the government’s disaster relief for earthquake-hit Turkey.
VOD reported that Hun Sen’s eldest son, Hun Manet, who is poised to succeed his father after a general election this summer, had acted on his father‘s behalf by signing a financial aid package to earthquake-stricken Turkey.
Hun Manet disputes that.
