Cambodia's longtime ruling party lauded its landslide victory in weekend elections as a clear mandate for the next five years, but the U.S. said its stifling of the opposition meant the vote could not be considered free or fair.
The U.S., European Union and other Western countries refused to send observers to the election, saying it lacked the conditions to be considered free and fair. Russia and China were among the countries that did send observers.
“These actions denied the Cambodian people a voice and a choice in determining the future of their country.” “We must pressure the Cambodian government to end all forms of political persecution and immediately and unconditionally release political prisoners," said Eva Kusuma Sundari, a former Indonesian lawmaker.
“As a good neighbor and friend, we warmly congratulate Cambodia on the successful holding of the 7th national election,” spokeswoman Mao Ning told reporters.
