A Cambodian newspaper publisher who is an opposition candidate in next month's elections has been charged with defaming Cambodia's foreign minister.

Dam Sith, a candidate for the opposition Sam Rainsy Party, has been charged with defaming Hor Namhong in an article about the Khmer Rouge.

Human rights activists have accused the government of the prime minister, Hun Sen, of using the courts to intimidate the opposition ahead of the general election.

Hun Sen is widely expected to win the parliamentary election, possibly with a clear majority of seats.

Cambodia is very soon becoming another Killing field under the present leaderships. They haven't learnt their fault of the past by using forces to oppress their opponents and have disregarded the democracy system. At present, if anyone is daring to point their fingers to robbbers, he or she will be arrested. So the robbers are always winning. A country of robbers. Areak Prey

Ah Hor Nam Hong must still be the same Khmer Rouge he was appointed to be at Beng Trabaek. He criticized people at Beng Trabaek when he worked for the Khmer Rouge, and now he criticize others who talked the truth about his involvment with the Khmer Rouge leadership. Ah Hor Nam Hong is one vindictive lowlife who does whatever it takes for his own interests.
