The number of journalists arrested has also increased in 2009. 2009 saw the arrest and jailing of 31 journalists, 2 of them were charged with defamation and disinformation. At the CCJ’s meeting on 26 December 2009, the CCJ noted that this year, there are 10 lawsuit cases against journalists, i.e. 8 more cases than 2008 where only 2 lawsuits against journalists took place. Also according to the CCJ, in 2009, 31 journalists were arrested, i.e. double the 2008 number where only 14 journalists were arrested by the authority.

Who talk about lawsuit in Cambodia ?
There is no law in Cambodia.
You should talk about CPPsuits.
CPP members are monkeys, they know nothing about law, they belive that laws are tools to suppress opponent, to shut up journalists mouth, to steal lands from Khmers and that is all.
