@cryptadamist For Cambodia, I made criticizing nicknames Concentration Campodia and Chingdom of Scambodia.
The UK and US embassies mentioned helping to release the journalist Mech Dara are in my opinion hypocritical:
1) When I visited British embassy in Phnom Penh, I remember they refused to let me in unless I have an appointment by phone or e-mail. How people, whose phone and money was stolen, are supposed to get in to ask for help?
2) An alleged US citizen complained that he allegedly run out of money and went to US embassy in Phnom Penh for help to pay him a ticket back and promise to pay back the ticket debt later. He claimed they required him to get detained in a foreigner detention centre first which he couldn't, because the detention center required paid COVID test and he had no money. I wrote the embassy a message urging them to stop rejecting the man.
3) When I visited the US embassy about Khmer-English machine translator I made, to ask if they want to support the work, and if they have large Khmer-English dictionaries in their library, I got a very authoritarian, prison-like impression from the embassy and I remember that they refused to let me in with a smartphone for alleged security reason, I had to keep it in a locker, so I couldn't show them the machine translator, and they also had no Internet inside so they couldn't look on their ownsmartphone, again alleged security reason.
In my opinion these behaviours are authoritarian and passive aggressive obstructions.

An interesting question, and interesting article, from DemocracyNow.org - reporting out a NY Times investigation

As the Trump administration is expected to release investigative files related to Jeffrey Epstein later this week, a recent New York Times investigation delves into one of the biggest mysteries about the deceased sexual predator: how the college dropout with no financial training rose through the world of finance and amassed his wealth, which enabled his abuse and insulated him from scrutiny for decades. David Enrich, deputy investigations editor at The New York Times and lead author of the report, headlined “Scams, Schemes, Ruthless Cons: The Untold Story of How Jeffrey Epstein Got Rich,” says Epstein’s early success in business was due to a series of lucky breaks, lies and scams that nevertheless convinced sophisticated investors and business titans to give him their money.
Federal prosecutors charged Milwaukee County Circuit Judge #HannahDugan with obstruction, a felony, & concealing an individual to prevent arrest, a misdemeanor, in April. The jury acquitted her on the concealment count, but she still faces up to 5 years in #prison on the #obstruction count.
The jury returned the verdicts after deliberating for 6 hours. No sentencing date had been set as of late Thursday.
