Human Rights Watch has called on Cambodia to lift a ban on a newspaper supplement about Burma.
Describing the move as "shameless" censorship on behalf of Burma'smilitary rulers, the group says it undercuts the credibility of efforts by the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) to convince the junta to open up to international aid.
The Cambodian police confiscated on Monday copies of the Burma Daily, which had been added to the English-language Cambodia Daily as a supplement.
The government said it had been published illegally without permission.
