The EU Commission should propose measures against human rights abuses in Cambodia, urged EP Human Rights Subcommittee Chair Pier Antonio Panzeri in the wake of the 29 July elections.

"Recent developments in Cambodia, including the use of violence and imprisonment of opposition main party leader Kem Sokha, testify to a severe trend towards the weakening of democracy and political rights, and the silencing of dissenting voices in the country. I call on the Cambodian government to reverse this trend by undertaking to respect democratic principles and by releasing Mr Sokha immediately" said Chair of the European Parliament Subcommittee on Human Rights, Pier Antonio Panzeri (S&D, IT).
