Less than two weeks after a new lèse majesté law was passed by the National Assembly – and before it has even been signed into effect – litigious politician Pich Sros is invoking it against an activist monk for comments he made in a radio interview that allegedly insulted the King.

 

In an interview with Radio Free Asia on Tuesday night, But Buntenh accused Prime Minister Hun Sen of allowing Vietnamese residents to live on the Tonle Sap in exchange for Vietnam’s help in overthrowing the Khmer Rouge in 1979.
