Lim Kimya, a 73-year-old former Cambodian parliamentarian and opposition figure, was shot dead in Bangkok, drawing attention to the potential involvement of the Cambodian state in his assassination. Captured on security cameras, the incident appears to have been executed by a trained assassin. Lim, who had dual Cambodian and French citizenship, had previously endured pressures from the Cambodian government after the banning of his party, the CNRP. The investigation is ongoing as authorities identify the suspect, a former Thai navy officer.
