PHNOM PENH, Sept 4 (Xinhua): Another three of the 118 former Cambodia National Rescue Party (CNRP) senior members, banned from politics in late 2017, were allowed to return to politics, according to royal decrees.

Cambodian King Norodom Sihamoni signed three separate royal decrees to restore their political rights, a week after they requested Prime Minister Samdech Techo Hun Sen through the Ministry of Interior.
