Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen has warned supporters of opposition leader Sam Rainsy that they will be prosecuted if they continue their association with him. Hun Sen also said that supporters living in exile were welcome to return to Cambodia as long as they renounce Sam Rainsy. The move comes ahead of the July 23 parliamentary election, which Hun Sen and the ruling Cambodian People’s Party are expected to win after neutralising the political opposition through threats or co-opting activists. Members of the main opposition Candlelight Party have been arrested in several provinces in recent months.
