An author of a book recently banned by the government and a radio journalist for the opposition Sam Rainsy Party's (SRP) Candle Radio Program has received a telephone death threat from an anonymous caller, reports Radio Free Asia.
Pen Puthsphea (Puthsophea), author of two question and answer examination books recently banned by the government, said he received a death threat through a telephone call, with a hidden number, at around 12:20pm on Monday, 19th July. "The person called me with a hidden number. 'You, don't be too strong! Be careful or you will die!' He only said like that and just hanged up", Puthsphea told RFA.
Pen Puthsphea said the death threat against him could be attributed to the banning of the two books. He said the books have been in bookstores since 2006, but have just recently been banned by the government.
Touch Naroth, Phnom Penh Police Commissioner, declined to comment when reached by phone on Monday, saying that he is in a meeting.
Mr. Pen Puthsphea said his books are question and answer books about Cambodian culture and about the current political situations in Cambodia , but were deemed critical of the government and Prime Minister Hun Sen. "In the books I mentioned there are 4-5 political leaders in the country. If the government applies this collective leadership, then the country will progress forward very fast. And in the bracket, I stressed that 'a government led by Samdech Hun Sen will be unable to develop the country faster because there are rampant corruption from top political machinery down to the bottom level", he said.
Mr. Sok Sam Oeun, president of the Cambodian Legal Defenders Project, said the government has the obligation to protect Mr. Pen Puthsphea and find the culprit.
Mr. Chheng Sophors, investigator for human rights group Licadho, said he is investigating the matter after Mr. Pen Puthsphea had lodged a complaint with his office.

There is no doubt that all SRP supporters always fear with their own shadow likes the rabbit is afraid with its own shit.
If you don't do anything bad no need to be afraid for.
2:42 PM, your word is right, but he didn't do anything wrong and how come someone (government assassins) made a death threat to him? Do you think Piseth Pilika, Chea Vichea, Touch Sonnik, Pov Panhapich, Tath Marina did something wrong? The CPP gangster know nothing, but violence. They are a bunch of uneducated criminals who never accept criticism. Violence is the one thing they know.
I am surprised to see above comment (2:42). Definitely the country would be down if there are still more people who have such perception. Ecen my three-year old kid can't imagine that this perception came from an adult.
Go back to watch cartoon so you differentiate between right and wrong. And ask other kids if you can't understand the messages in the cartoon.
I don't expect that if one member of your family was killed by a robber, you would say your family is doing something wrong, not the robber.
I hope you understand. I respect you and I know that you are one of educated person (with good level of English and computer profiency), but your comment is just put you down.
Breaking News: Someone made a death threat to Ah Hun Nal to assissinate it, and it is afrait like a slave dog. Do you know who made the threat? It is a simple answer: Its Boss Youn Hanoi.
Hun Sen would say, that is bad and authority will find out who did this BUT in the reality, no one will do anything to look for the criminal, this kind of behavior doesn't exist in any democratic country, Cambodia still be a REPUBLIC OF BANANA because leader still be a MONKEY.
Strongman of Cambodia does not afraid of any body, but the book because he could not kill the book.
Police in Cambodia cann find this case but all things dealed with opposition they will act nothing. How can Cambodia live in Freedom with democracy?
We are not potted plants that stay at whwerver as they are placed. We, as decent people and some as writers have our national conscience, our thoughts to write about. We cannot agree all the time with those who have hurt and harmed our innocent defenseless people. Men (not all), for their own benefits, have the natural tendency to do thing illegal. We Khmers (not all) should have seen that Hun Xen and his comrades, for their own benefits, put Cambodia for sale to the crooked rich and some rich foreigners. To keep them safe in power, they let the Yuons chop our land along the border. These greedy monkeys never get enough. They never be conted with what they have had so far. Their blind ambition has put Khmer people in har's way of losing their properties. Nothing our poor people can do but cry and appeal to the unknown (heaven/god) for help. They, the unscrupulous authorities live happily, spending their money like it were growing on trees while our people do not even have enough food to fill their hungry stomachs. How can a writer with national conscience write better than to write about the truth they have witnessed with their own eyes? Thruth does not hurt the brave; it hurts the coward rulers and their comrades who have exploited our people. Because they are rich and powerful they can buy justice. Do their laws, which they claim to be good and fair for all Khmers, punish them? Of course not!
correction for 8:35PM: contented with...
Wow! Ye can't entirely blame these Ph.D's CPP for taking too long to eventually or initially realize about the anti-books, they are actively busy corrupting and chasing young girls!
Hay 9:22 pm - you are missing one important thing ... the CPP Ph.D. young men are busy chasing young Ounear, H.E., and 4,5, or 6 stars general's daughter to get marriage for wealth and power (these Khmer Ph.D. men don't want to marriage any girls). Ph.D. from the West is not cheap, thus, they have to pay back their parents in some way. Than they can have many other mistresses (like-farther-like-son), an abuse these women....well this is the cycle of New khmer men with Ph.D.....
i think the most radical people are always getting into trouble. i don't think gov't just give them warning, etc... you have to look at how these individuals conduct their so-called freedom of speech, freedom of expression, etc... i mean, even the most patient individual will get rubbed the wrong way, most of the time. so, people need to learn to calm down a bit and not be so radical or extreme in their view, rhetorics, etc... cambodia isn't that bad, really! wake up already! cambodia is not using emergency rule, you know, so stop your terrorist activities!

i don't think gov't is trying to oppress anyone's freedom, etc. instead their extreme individual as they called themselves activitists should try to understand and respect the cambodian law, instead of show contempt of court, bad attitude, etc... and mix it with human rights cries, etc... i think at one point donors would buy into that, but nowadays, after they did their own observation and see with their own eyes, they are skeptical in hypocrite people! instead, it is problem of society, of unruly people's behavior, gangster or thug-like behavior, etc... nobody can tolerate that, not even the most patient, humble individual could hold it anymore, really! wake up, people, know your limit and know when and where to do it appropriately and civilly. stop taking advantage of the system that the stupid KR put into place after their killing fields, ok! know when to stop and when to start, ok!
12:43AM, People will show their comtempt to your court because your court do not serve Khmer people in general, but serve the ill-will of a group of crooks and criminals. Your court defends the guilty rich and powerful and punish the innocent defenseless poor. Do you think Khmer people are brainless human beings? Do you expect them to "yes" to all of what Hun Xen and his comrades do or demands, regardless of wthether it's right or wrong? Get lost, fool!

"There is no doubt that all SRP supporters always fear with their own shadow likes the rabbit is afraid with its own shit.
If you don't do anything bad no need to be afraid for.
2:42 PM"
To you, if the Khmer peoples criticize Hun Sen's Khmer Rouge Regime government, that's consider doing bad.
Criminals cannot handle the truth.
Ah jouy marai Khmer in Sydney CBD, you make me sick!
