My former Phnom Penh Post colleague Mech Dara is one of the bravest and most talented reporters I’ve ever worked with.
A personal anecdote I’d like to share from working with him: (1/4)
Deeply troubled to hear reports of Mech Dara’s arrest in Cambodia. Dara is one of the most dogged journalists in the country. This news is a sad reminder of the risks reporters face there.
