Cambodia MPs pass law allowing stripping of citizenship

PHNOM PENH, Aug 25, 2025 (BSS/AFP) - Cambodian parliamentarians passed on Monday legislation allowing people charged with foreign collusion to be stripped of their citizenship, a law rights groups fear will be used to banish dissent.

All 120 lawmakers in attendance at the National Assembly session -- including Prime Minister Hun Manet -- voted unanimously to approve the bill.
