Him Math, a reporter for UMA TV online in Cambodia, was reportedly attacked by a group of timber traders while he was reporting on the illegal trafficking of timber over the Sekong bridge in Stung Treng province on October 20, 2020. Him Math published an article on October 19 about how hundreds of wooden handicraft shops across the province had been fueling illegal logging by purchasing wood from the traders. The reporter said he thought the story had angered the smugglers, and has called on the government to do more to protect journalists’ freedom to collect information.
