In Cambodia, thousands are mourning the killing of political commentator Kem Ley. Ley was shot and killed at point-blank range Sunday while drinking a cup of coffee at a gas station. He was the founder of the Grassroots Democracy Party and a sharp critic of the country’s ruling Cambodian People’s Party, which is facing mounting opposition in the lead-up to local and national elections in 2017 and 2018.
