Southeast Asian Parliamentarians Face Chilly Political Climate
On October 26, 2015, two lawmakers for the Cambodia National Rescue Party (CNRP) were leaving a parliamentary session in the Cambodian capital Phnom Penh when they were attacked by a well-organized mob.
The pro-government rent-a-crowd, numbering in the hundreds, had been trucked into front of the National Assembly building to call on Kem Sokha, the CNRP's vice president, to resign as the body's vice president.
