VOA Khmer’s Sok Khemara spoke Nov. 1, 2017 to U.S. Congressman Steve Chabot (R-OH) about possible U.S. sanctions against Cambodian officials following a recent government crackdown against the opposition, NGOs and independent media. Chabot represents a district in Ohio with a Cambodian-American population. He, along with Congressman Alan Lowenthal, a Democrat who represents the largest Cambodian community in the U.S. in southern California, co-founded the Bipartisan Congressional Cambodia Caucus to bring together members interested in Cambodian politics.
