PHNOM PENH: Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen has ordered an election law be amended to penalise anyone who boycotts next month's poll, which critics have said will be a sham because of the premier's moves to stamp out all opposition.
The revision is likely to be approved in the coming days by the rubber-stamp parliament and would bar those who do not cast votes from becoming candidates in future elections, the latest move by the long-serving leader to stifle dissent.
