Southeast Asian parliamentarians have expressed alarm this week over the reported proposal to change Cambodia’s Constitution, describing it as a “death sentence for democracy” in the country.
One of the proposed amendments would eliminate the need for the National Assembly to approve the designated prime minister.
In a statement, the ASEAN Parliamentarians for Human Rights (APHR) said the move would pave the way for Prime Minister Hun Sen to transfer power to his son Hun Manet.
