The Cambodian government's decision to deny British journalist Gerald Flynn re-entry to Cambodia and ban him from the country is a blatant attack on journalism and serves as yet another example of the Cambodian authorities' intolerance of critical and investigative journalism. We condemn this arbitrary decision and call for authorities to immediately facilitate his return to Cambodia so he can continue his work.
Flynn, an investigative and environmental reporter who has worked for local and foreign publications in Cambodia for years, was denied re-entry at the Siem Reap International Airport on January 5, 2025. Flynn, who is the president of the Overseas Press Club of Cambodia (OPCC), was returning from a holiday in Thailand.
