Phnom Penh (FN), Sept. 23 – Phnom Penh municipal court issued an order to summon Sam Rainsy, former opposition leader, to clarify to the court on 26 September 2019 over the alleged public defamation and incitement for crime filed by premier’s lawyer Ky Tech, according to the order issued on 18 September 2019.

Sam Rainsy spoke in an interview with Radio Free Asia on 12 September 2019: “Our King is the hostage of Hun Sen; our king is afraid of Hun Sen, as he wants to keep his throne. We cannot expect anything from the king who is the puppet of Hun Sen.”

In the lawsuit, Ky Tech said Rainsy’s actions publicly defamed Prime Minister Hun Sen and that the actions aim to cause social insecurity – a violation of Article 305, 494, 495 of Penal Code.
