Gun no Fun for Yun

Samean Yun, an associate editor at the Cambodia Daily, is on a five month exchange at the Rocky Mountain News through the Alfred Friendly Press Fellowship Program.

In Cambodia, civilians are not allowed to wear a solider's uniform. A person who is caught wearing the solider's uniform can be fined, stripped of the uniform on the street or even imprisoned.
