Cambodia's Supreme Court has dissolved the country's main opposition party, leaving the government with no significant competitor ahead of elections next year. <br/><br/>The Cambodia National Rescue Party (CNRP) is accused of plotting to topple the government – charges it denies and describes as politically motivated. <br/><br/>More than 100 party members are now banned from politics for five years. <br/><br/>Cambodia's Prime Minister, Hun Sen, has ruled for 32 years. He has long been accused of using the courts and security forces to intimidate opponents and crush dissent but has for years allowed some measure of political opposition to his Cambodian People's Party. <br/><br/>The CNRP made unexpectedly strong gains in the 2013 elections and had been set to fiercely contest next year's polls.
