Can Cambodia's opposition maintain pressure on the Prime Minister?

Opposition leader released, but crackdown on dissent continues

Cambodia's Prime Minister Hun Sen has silenced nearly all voices of dissent in recent years.
His government has shut down independent media and dissolved the main opposition Cambodia National Rescue Party, CNRP.
The CNRP leader Kem Sokha has now been freed after a year of house arrest, but he still faces severe restrictions and is banned from leaving the country.
His colleagues, including party co-founder Sam Rainsy, are facing challenges of their own as they try to return to Cambodia from exile.
This is happening as the government faces international condemnation for undermining democracy and human rights.
Can they maintain the pressure despite a government crackdown?
