Amnesty International’s Secretary General, Salil Shetty, has written to His Majesty King Norodom Sihamoni, Cambodia’s monarch, calling on him to reject the draft Law on Associations and Non-Governmental Organizations (LANGO). The letter refers to the King’s constitutional role as the protector of rights and freedoms for all citizens and as the guarantor of international treaties, stating that the LANGO will, if passed, violate these rights and guarantees.
