On Wednesday, the Club of Cambodian Journalists expressed its concerns about the freedom of the press in Cambodia after it was learnt that another journalist was anonymously threatened by phone. Lim Pisith, RFA reporter, received the death threat on Saturday after he investigated illegal logging operations in Kompong Thom province. The Club of Cambodian Journalists considers this death threat against Lim Pisith as a violation of the freedom of the press in Cambodia. The Club called on the authority to provide safety protection to Lim Pisith, and to investigate this threat case in order to bring the perpetrator to justice. One RFA employee told The Cambodia Daily on Wednesday that, up to now, the employee could not reach Lim Pisith since he went into hiding. The RFA employee said that this threat seriously affect the entire RFA office in Phnom Penh. The employee also said that all RFA employees are scared and a new RFA employee refused to come to work.
