Hor Namhong, the Foreign Affair minister, announced on Friday 27 June that he will withdraw his lawsuit against Dam Sith, the opposition journalist.
“Dam Sith came to ask me for an amicable settlement, I will ask the tribunal to withdraw my lawsuit,” Hor Namhong said during an interview with a representative of the Cambodian Club of Journalists (CCJ) and Dam Sith who was accompanied by his lawyer.
“I told Dam Sith that I did not wish to have a lawsuit between journalists and politicians during the run up to the election. I am happy to end this affair,” Hor Namhong added.
Kong Sam Onn, Dam Sith’s lawyer, said that he was also satisfied, and that this withdrawal would allow the journalist as well as the minister to turn the page and avoid any disturbance to the election campaign.
How Namhong did not withdraw his lawsuit against opposition leader Sam Rainsy whom the Moneakseka Khmer newspaper quoted.
“I brought a lawsuit in the French tribunal and one more with the Cambodian tribunal for defamation and disinformation. If the Cambodian justice is under coercion, we will see how the French justice will decide the case,” Hor Namhong said.
Sam Rainsy reacted by saying: “It is normal that Hor Namhong withdraw his lawsuit against Dam Sith. This affair shouldn’t have started to begin with.” Sam Rainsy is also happy to learn that Hor Namhong brought a lawsuit against him in France. “The French justice is free, and I have enough proofs and witnesses to support what I said,” he added.
In April, Hor Namhong brought a lawsuit against Sam Rainsy for defamation in disinformation, and also against the Moneakseka Khmer newspaper for disinformation. He blamed the opposition newspaper of quoting Sam Rainsy’s claim, according to which Hor Namhong directed the Boeng Trabek jail under the KR regime.
“This is not an ordinary case, especially for me who had particularly suffered under the KR regime,” Hor Namhong explained.

Whore Namhong we know what you did last summer!!!
You kill a pretty high number of Khmer during the KR era. Justice is looking for you...
HOR NAMHONG IS SHAMELESS. HE KNOWS THE MEDIA LAW, BUT HE STILL VIOLATES IT.
IT IS A BIG SHAME FOR CAMBODIA TO HAVE SUCH A FOREIGN MINISTER & DEPUTY PRIME MINISTER.
IN A COMMUNIST COUNTRY, THE LAW COMES FROM THE MOUTH OF THE POWERFUL MEN.
THAT IS THE WAY CPP DOES IN CAMBODIA.
IF CAMBODIA IS STILL UNDER THE GANG OF DICTATORS, CAMBODIA PEOPLE WILL LIVE IN FEAR AND HAVE COUNTLESS SUFFERRINGS.
PEOPLE, PLEASE WAKE UP AND VOTE THE DICTATORS OUT.
THANKS,
Camgodia is still under Khmer Rouge rule. Just look at those animals who worked with CPP they are all former Khmer Rouge such as Ah Khvack.
Too bad if you don't like it because everyone is former Khmer Rouge in Cambodia. So go back to Zimbabwe where you belong.

Ah Hor Nam Hong is one disgusting mather f*cker, attacking everyone like a rabid dawg. In fact Ah Hor Nam Hong is just that -- a DAWG. He was a Khmer Rouge dawg who was severly tough on the inmates at Beng Trabaek, and now he acts tough against the people who point out the truths about his involvment with the Khmer Rouge. F*ck ah Hor Nam Hong. Let ah mather f*cker sue Sam Rainsy in the French court and we will see the result. Call the Khmer Rouge Ieng Sary to testify for what ah Hor Nam Hong's role.
10:32 AM It's good that you are proud KR or Vietcong, but you uncle Whore is not very comfortable with his origin.

Well, my country turned to Khmer Rouge because for you greedy morons couped our beloved Somdach Euv. But that doesn't make everyone a killer.
CPP = Communist Pro (youn) Pussy

Nope, what they should do is to trial Ah Khmer-Yuon for getting millions people killed and destroying Indochina. In any case, Ah Khmer-Youn will pay for their crime against Indochinese, one way or another, with or without the ECCC. Justice will be served.
Gorilla are idiots. Just because we lived in Cambodia under Khmer Rouge regime, they think we are all killer. Fucking morons!

Either your a KR member, a Vietcong or a loser stealing money through the CPP.
So you do like the KR, tells us more about!!!
In France is OK, Rainsy can provide the letters from those witnesses who knew Hor Nam Hong at Beung trabeik.
I vote for Hor Nam Hong is guilty.
CPP Kid
Hey! We have KR supporters (or ex KR) here ferociously defending their leaders.
By the way if you take the life of somebody that makes you a murderer (or killer for the simple mind like you).
Supporters of the king or for the big majority ignorant people driven by nationalism. So what came out of it is the KR legacy. The other small minority do it for their own pocket not for the country.
Patriotism the by small brains is translate into mass murdering.
That's right those are the KR that you joyfully brag about!!!
Ah Scam Rainxy's or Scam Mugaby's days have been numbered.
Farewell stupid!
