Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen has ordered the closure of one of the country’s few remaining independent news sites for “attacking” his son in a report regarding Cambodia’s relief assistance to quake-hit Turkey.

Local media Voice of Democracy (VOD) had its license revoked at 10 a.m. on Feb. 13. The Ministry of Information said the company has failed to issue an apology for a misquoted article published last week.
