CNRP

The Cambodia National Rescue Party (CNRP) was a major political opposition party in Cambodia, founded in 2012 to challenge the long-standing ruling party. It aimed to promote democracy, human rights, and government transparency. The CNRP gained significant support and was seen as a potential force for political change. However, in 2017, the Cambodian government dissolved the party, citing alleged conspiracy and legal violations, leading to its ban from politics. The dissolution was widely criticized internationally as a move to undermine democratic processes in Cambodia.
