If you think #Uyghurs in #Xinjiang are oppressed, and even commited genocide against by #China, then you're believing into lies of #CIA (#NED, #RadioFreeAsia, etc), and of course Christo-fascist founder of the #VictimsOfCommunismMemorialFoundation, #AdrianZenz.

I've been recently given that same #GenocideWatch document shown in the video as "evidence". Absolutely insane that someone would believe this garbage. Same site diminishes an actual genocide in #Palestine.

The videos posted to Facebook all have the same look and feel: The subject looks directly at the camera, joins his hands in a sampeah – a #Cambodian gesture of respect – and apologizes.

Examples from last month – Cambodian #journalist Mech Dara and overseas #activist Hay Vanna – were just the latest additions to a long list of activists and #critics forced by #threats or legal action to recant and pledge their loyalty to the ruling #CambodianPeoplesParty (CPP).

Those are some of the most high-profile instances. Several other opposition activists told #RadioFreeAsia that they were forced to pledge allegiance to the ruling party to maintain the safety of their family or to avoid politically motivated criminal charges.
