Government-ordered closure after report involving Hun Manet
After VOD reported that Hun Manet had allegedly breached existing policy by approving a foreign aid package connected to the Turkey-Syria earthquake response, Prime Minister Hun Sen revoked the outlet's operating license. VOD closed on 13 February 2023. Rights organizations, the United Nations, and the governments of the United States and Germany condemned the action as harmful to media freedom and freedom of expression.
