VOA Persian is generally considered a reliable source but may have a bias towards highlighting dissent.

Cambodian police arrested nineteen protesters who were demonstrating in the capital, Phnom Penh, against the results of last month's general elections. The demonstrators have been identified as members of the 'Khmer Front,' a relatively unknown opposition group that failed to secure a single seat in the Cambodian parliamentary elections held on July 27. The protests occurred on Sunday, one day after the National Election Commission officially announced the victory of the ruling People's Party led by Prime Minister Hun Sen. He is attempting to form a new coalition government in Cambodia but has had little success in this regard.
