Gov’t rejects rumour US security forces will shoot onlookers who take pictures of President Biden

Rumours suggesting that US security forces protecting President Joe Biden would shoot anyone on sight who photographed their delegation were dismissed by Ministry of Interior spokesman General Khieu Sopheak.

Gen Sopheak was adamant when commenting on the false rumours after an anonymous social media user disseminated the message that claimed US security forces might shoot people who take photos of the US delegation led by President Biden who will attend the ASEAN Summit on November 12-13. “This false information has caused confusion, and the government asks that social media users stop spreading this type of fake news,” he said.
 

Taking pictures on public roads or in non-restricted areas is permitted. He called on citizens not to ride motorcycles or drive cars behind any official convoy, as it could lead to confusion over the security and safety of delegates, he added. The announcement came after an anonymous social media user yesterday posted the message causing confusion.
