From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Cambodia has denied that members of the anti-government "Red Shirt" movement from neighbouring Thailand were trained at a Cambodian army base to assassinate Thai leaders, including the Prime Minister.
Lieutenant-Colonel Payao Thongsen, a senior investigator for Thailand's Department of Special Investigation, alleged on Monday that 11 men arrested last week in northern Chiang Mai province were among 39 given ideological and combat training in a "neighbouring country", providing details that made clear that it was Cambodia.
However, Khieu Kanharith, a spokesman for the Phnom Penh regime, said: "Cambodia strongly rejects these allegations."
The Thai Prime Minister, Abhisit Vejjajiva, said he would not take action until receiving advice from his security agency. Cambodia's relations with her neighbour have been contentious for years.
