Cambodia has blacklisted 22 people on the Oversight Board for Facebook’s parent company Meta after they recommended Prime Minister Hun Sen’s account be suspended over a video in which he threatened to beat up his rivals.
The blacklisting is the latest twist in a row that has seen the long-time Cambodian leader, once a prolific Facebook user, stop using the platform and apparently deactivate his account.
It also comes weeks before a July 23 election widely dubbed a sham after authorities denied registration to the chief challenger to Hun Sen’s ruling Cambodian People’s Party.
