Cambodia's ex-PM Hun Sen proposes labeling government overthrow attempts as terrorism.

Former Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen has proposed a new law that would label individuals attempting to overthrow the current government, led by his son Hun Manet, as "terrorists." This proposal was made as Cambodia marked the 46th anniversary of the end of the brutal Khmer Rouge regime. The law would define those who plan to cause chaos or attempt to overthrow the government as terrorists. Hun Sen's move has raised concerns among rights groups who previously accused him of using the legal system to suppress opposition.
