I am signing this petition to demand that all charges against Cambodian journalist Mech Dara be dropped immediately.

Dara was unjustly detained for exposing large-scale scam operations that traffic and exploit workers, forcing them into global fraud schemes under threat of violence. His reporting has been essential in uncovering abuses that harm thousands, yet instead of protecting his rights, Cambodian authorities have charged him with “incitement” for posts that courageously reveal the truth.

Forced to apologize publicly under duress, Dara’s freedom remains threatened, sending a stark message to others who speak out against human trafficking and corruption. Journalism is not a crime. I call on the Cambodian government to uphold justice and protect press freedom by dropping all charges against Dara now.Â
