Journalism Situation in Cambodia: Key trend in Q1, 2026 

The lack of protection for journalists’ safety and independent reporting has undermined the public’s access to reliable information. As documented by CamboJA, authorities are resorting to criminal charges, including incitement charges, against journalists covering sensitive issues instead of utilizing the civil remedies outlined in the Cambodian Press Law. This approach runs counter to international standards that protect freedom of expression. Such restrictions on journalistic work hinder public access to information and undermine meaningful participation in public discourse.
