No Threat Made to Editor, PM's Nephew Reiterates

THE CAMBODIA DAILY
Prime Minister Hun Sen's nephew Hun To said Sunday that he is unfazed by a Reporters Without Borders statement urging the arrest of those who allegedly threatened the life of the editor-in-chief of Sralanh Khmer newspaper. Hun To reiterated his denial that he has ever threatened editor You Saravuth, as You Saravuth has claimed. "I did not threaten anyone. I don't care [about the statement]," Hun To said. You Saravuth claims Hun To threatened him after the pro-Sam Rainsy Party newspaper accused Hun To of illegally grabbing land. In its Thursday statement, France-based Reporters Without Borders also called for the protection of You Saravuth's family. Hun To has filed a defamation lawsuit against You Saravuth, while You Saravuth is suing Hun To for his alleged death threat. Chhit Sarith, You Saravuth's lawyer, said he was concerned that the statement could scupper his plans to reach an out-of-court settlement with Hun To.
