The finger against the power

The “clean finger”, which was not dipped in voting ink, became in this summer’s election in Cambodia a symbol of a national voting boycott and a protest against the dissolution of the opposition party CNRP.

Supporters of the boycott were accused of treason and the ruling party, the CPP, won all the seats in the election.
