Supporters take pictures with Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen, centre, as he attends an inauguration of a new boat terminal in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, on Wednesday. Germany, which suspended preferential visas for private travel by members of Hun Sen's government, urged Cambodia to return to democratic principles. Hun Sen did not make a lengthy speech on Wednesday, as is normally his habit. The appearance was broadcast live on national television accompanied by music praising Hun Sen's achievements. The United States has imposed visa curbs on some Cambodian officials over the crackdown and levied sanctions in June on a high-ranking official close to Hun Sen.Kem Sokha's daughter, Kem Monovithya, said she believes further steps against Hun Sen's regime are on the horizon.
