Speaking at the plenary session of the World Economic Forum on Wednesday, Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen said countries outside Indochina were too critical of politics in the region and that it should be left to solve its own problems, Reuters reports. Cambodia released 14 government critics last month, in a move by the prime minister that some observers say is aimed at appeasing foreign criticism of a flawed general election last month. Hun Sen has requested pardons for 23 people since Aug. 17, according to Reuters. Hun Sen’s ruling Cambodian People’s Party (CPP) won all 125 parliamentary seats in a rigged national election in July, electoral authorities confirmed last month, as the opposition called the results illegitimate.
