Free Theary Seng: The US Should Not Forget About Cambodia’s Political Prisoners

Theary Seng, a 55-year-old Cambodian-American activist, has been unjustly imprisoned on fabricated charges since 2022, highlighting a troubling trend in Cambodia where political dissidents are routinely detained. This situation underscores the urgent need for the U.S. to remember and act on the plight of political prisoners in Cambodia, as their plight reflects broader human rights abuses in the country. Seng's case is emblematic of the broader crackdown on civil society and opposition voices in Cambodia, making international attention and intervention crucial for ensuring justice and human rights.
