| JOINT STATEMENT: THE BAR ASSOCIATION OF THE KINGDOM OF CAMBODIA MUST NOT INFRINGE LAWYERS’ FREEDOM OF SPEECH |
| Letter |
| Released on 2013-02-22 |
| February 22, 2013 – We, the undersigned Cambodian civil society organizations, wish to express our concern at recent moves by the Bar Association of the Kingdom of Cambodia (BAKC) to prohibit lawyers from giving radio and television interviews without its prior permission. This infringes not only upon their fundamental right to freedom of expression, but also their ability and professional duty to speak on legal issues- which is in the public interest. |
