Not a 'dictatorial regime'

PHNOM PENH - CAMBODIAN Prime Minister Hun Sen on Wednesday warned critics that they risked facing legal action if they called the country a 'dictatorial regime'.
'Be careful with the language of 'dictatorial regime'. Be careful, (or) one day legal action will be used,' Mr Hun Sen said during a graduation ceremony in the capital Phnom Penh.
The premier's warning appeared to be aimed at those who allege senior Cambodian officials have over the past several months used defamation lawsuits against critics to impede freedom of expression in the country.
'This is a constitutional monarchy... Don't curse it as a dictatorial regime - be careful!' Mr Hun Sen said.
'(And) when legal action is used, you guys would say freedom of expression is prohibited, but your expression is wrong,' he added.
Mr Hun Sen's remarks came a day after a court found outspoken opposition lawmaker Mu Sochua guilty of defaming him and ordered her to pay more than 4,000 dollars in fines and compensation.
Local human rights group Licadho said the verdict was 'predictably unjust, and shows yet again how the courts are controlled by the government and used as a weapon against its political opponents'.
There have been three defamation or disinformation convictions against Cambodian government critics in just over a month, the United Nations human rights office said Wednesday.
New York-based Human Rights Watch recently alleged Hun Sen's government aimed to silence political opposition and critics with a 'campaign of harassment, threats, and unwarranted legal action.'

Yes it is!
ReplyDeleteThe dictator took shit for flower and put it on his face. He thinks that his looks good with this. A justice system, reduced to a mere instrument to perpetrate crimes against Cambodians, has no idea what so ever about justice. Corrupted judges can only follow orders from politicians. Soon this evil man will encounter the same fate as his Vietnamese buddy Hok Lundy. Killed by lightning struck and be remembered as disgrace small dictator, with only one ambition in mind which is to perpetuate the dictatorship on Cambodia to serve his Vietnamese master.

ReplyDeleteThe thais need you to comfort them. Go and good riddance.
The reason why AH PPU resigned, because his Khmer Rouge leaders demand that he stop harass KI readers. By harass KI readers, cause peoples like me to reveal past criminals activity of his boss.
ReplyDeletei think the prime minister is correction to say that because the last i checked, cambodia is a "constitutional monarchy", not "dictatorial" like the hate mongers are misleading the public. so stop labeling cambodia as such just because you people could get what you want! there are more to cambodia than your bias and hate! get used to it; it's not that bad. we welcome everyone to participate in gov't given one follow protocol and people social skill. it will go a long way, my dear. please learn from president clinton when he went to north korea and negotiate the release of the two american journalists held captive there for illegally entering the country. now, that take a great person of character like mr. clinton, and a skillful diplomat to do that. please learn from mr. clinton by interviewing him on the phnom penh post, perhaps so all cambodian students can learn from the president. god bless cambodia and all our beautiful khmer people and citizens.

ReplyDeleteVideo of Hun Sen's "warning" to critics (mentioned in AFP article above): http://www.dailymotion.com/user/khmermediawatch/video/xa2o7g_hun-sen-message-to-critics-be-caref_news
ReplyDeleteIt is time to look at the big picture: Cambodia and the nations around it and far away.
ReplyDeleteBefore Khmer Rouge, Cambodia was ruled by wicked leaders. After so many warnings, Khmer nation seemed not to repent at all. Because of his great love to his people who are killed, oppressed and enslaved, in his fierce anger against the wickedness of the oppressors, God used Khmer Rouge to punish Cambodia from its wickedness. While the work is still not completely done God used Vietnam to punish in turn and eliminate Khmer Rouge. Vietnam had heeded the warning about its wickedness against Cambodia, had repented and withdrawn from Cambodia for a while, but Vietnam now uses the remnants Khmer Rouge (the current Cambodian regime) to perpetrate its wicked acts against Cambodia and its people and God’s people. The current regime does not seem to hear or to listen to so many warnings against them and to repent. God punishment is bound to come against the nations and people who do not repent and who continue to oppress and kill his people. Repent and God will relent his anger from nations or people, who oppress, kill, steal, and enslave God’s people.
Repent and come to Him, and God will restore back the nations and people.
