Episode description

This Sunday is Cambodia's national elections. The ruling Cambodian People's Party (CPP) will go up against 19 other smaller political parties to fight for parliamentary seats. But the country's main opposition party, the Cambodia National Rescue Party (CNRP), will be missing from the ballot. "You can freak people out, you can scare them. They might get a little more quiet than they used to be, but it doesn’t mean that in their hearts, they aren’t very angry and hurt and upset by what they’re seeing. And I don’t know the end result of that is." GUEST: Abby Seiff is an award-winning freelance journalist based in Phnom Penh. She started reporting on Cambodian politics when she worked for the now-defunct Cambodia Daily newspaper before working for the Phnom Penh Post.
