US first lady urges Cambodian students to seek more freedoms
None
US first lady Michelle Obama on Saturday urged Cambodian students to stay in school and take advantage of their education to demand greater freedoms and more equality in their Southeast Asian country.
Cambodia has been ruled for 30 years by authoritarian strongman Hun Sen, the prime minister, whose wife Bun Rany joined Mrs. Obama on her visit Saturday to the northern city of Siem Reap.
"You at role models to the world," Mrs. Obama said, calling on the students to use their "voices to advocate for good things – whether it's more education, better health-care, more freedoms, more equality."
