Lim Kimya

Lim Kimya (; 1951 or 1952 – 7 January 2025) was a Cambodian and French politician. Lim, a member of the Cambodia National Rescue Party (CNRP), was first elected as a member of parliament in 2013 and served until 2018. He earned a bachelor's degree in mathematics from the Royal University of Phnom Penh.

In 2017, the Supreme Court of Cambodia dissolved the CNRP, effectively dismantling the primary opposition. This action occurred strategically just before the 2018 general election, effectively removing the most significant electoral threat to the ruling CPP. Both colleagues and Phil Robertson, director of Asia Human Rights Labour Advocates, described the shooting as an assassination. Lim had recently arrived in Bangkok by bus from Siem Reap, Cambodia, with his wife and uncle. The suspect is a 41-year-old Thai national who worked as a motorcycle taxi driver and is a former marine.

On 9 January 2025, the Thai Criminal Court issued an additional warrant for Pich Kimsrin, a Cambodian national, alleging his involvement in Lim's killing. The Metropolitan Police Bureau stated that he had entered Thailand on the same minibus as Lim and had subsequently left the country following the attack.

On 15 January 2025, the Thai Criminal Court issued another arrest warrant for Somwang Bamrungkit, a Thai and Cambodian dual national known in Battambang, Cambodia as Ly Rotanakraksmey. Somwang is an advisor to Cambodia's former Prime Minister Hun Sen.

Personal life Lim was married to Ana Lim Ani, a French citizen. He held dual Cambodian and French dual nationality.
