Ty Sokhun, the Director General of the Forestry Administration, who was named in Global Witness (GW) report as being one of the persons involved in illegal logging, had angrily reacted by calling Global Witness’ staff as ‘crazy people.’ Ty Sokhun recognizes that Khun Thong, who is also named by Global Witness, is indeed his father-in-law, but Ty Sokhun said that Khun Thong and his other relatives are not involved in illegal logging. Ty Sokhun told The Cambodia Daily on Monday that Global Witness produced lies in all the pages of its report, and he said that Global Witness issued this report only to attract attention and to obtain financial gain. He said that Global Witness report is laughable.
Hun Neng, the Kompong Cham provincial governor and Hun Sen’s older brother, also reacted angrily by saying that he is thinking about legal means to deal with Global Witness which accused Leang Vuoch Chheng, his wife, and Hun To, his son, of involvement in illegal logging also. Hun Neng said that if Global Witness staff comes to Cambodia, he will beat them up until their heads split.
