Cambodian people and rights activists filed a petition at the National Assembly to request the body not to adopt a controversial draft of the law on Associations and NGOs. They said the law is being created with an intention to control rather than to promote and strengthen civil society, and as such it undermines the rights of the people and shrinks democratic space in Cambodia.
