The editor of the Sralanh Khmer newspaper, which is supporting the SRP, appeared at the Phnom Penh municipal court this Thursday so that he can be questioned about a number of articles published by the newspaper, in which it severely criticized the former monarch Norodom Sihanouk and Queen Monineath. Thach Ket, the editor of Sralanh Khmer, said that he will appear in court as summoned. He also said that he already sent an apology letter to King-Father and Quuen-Mother on 07 April, and that the letter had been received by the Royal Palace already. Lawyer Ka Savuth said that he brought up a complaint against the newspaper, in the name of King-Father and Queen-Mother. He told The Cambodia Daily that King-Father is not looking for monetary compensation, but that he wants to uphold his and Queen-mother’s honor only.
