The Cambodia National Rescue Movement (CNRM; Khmer: ចលនាសង្គ្រោះជាតិ) is a Cambodian political movement founded in 2018, by exiled former opposition leader Sam Rainsy, following the dissolution of the Cambodia National Rescue Party in November 2017.[1] The movement has no legal status in Cambodia and has been branded as a "terrorist group" by the authoritarian government of Hun Sen.[2]
