Politics Thai Police Pursue Legal Action Against Cambodia’s Hun Sen
File photo for reference only In a significant turn of events, Thai police are set to submit a case against Cambodian leader Hun Sen to the Attorney-General's Office on Monday. The action stems from allegations of national security threats after Hun Sen released an audio clip of a phone call with suspended Thai Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra. The controversy erupted when Mr. Somkid Cheukong, the secretary-general for Political Affairs, lodged a formal complaint on June 20. He accused Hun Sen of compromising Thailand's national security by openly sharing the audio conversation with Paetongtarn. This incident has already had major political repercussions, leading to Paetongtarn's suspension by the Constitutional Court. She was ordered to step down temporarily from her prime ministerial duties amid accusations of severe ethical breaches concerning the Thai-Cambodian border dispute. In the interim, she has taken charge of the culture portfolio. Pol. Maj. Gen. Siriwat Deephor, commander of the Technology Crime Suppression Division 1, confirmed that the investigation is complete. Hun Sen faces charges under Section 116 of the Criminal Code, concerning acts threatening national security, alongside violations of the Computer Crimes Act. This move marks a rare instance of legal action extending beyond Thailand's borders, underscoring the seriousness of the situation. Maj. Gen. Siriwat explained, "The Attorney General will now assess whether the evidence warrants further legal action. Should there be sufficient grounds, an arrest warrant will be issued, and Interpol notified to issue a Red Notice." If the charges proceed, this case could escalate tensions between Thailand and Cambodia, potentially affecting diplomatic relations. The incident also raises broader questions about cybersecurity, privacy, and the use of digital communications in international diplomacy. As the legal process unfolds, all eyes will be on the Attorney-General's decision, which could set a significant precedent. Meanwhile, the political landscape in Thailand continues to evolve, with the potential return of Paetongtarn Shinawatra hinging on the court's final verdict, expected in the coming months. This developing story captures the complexities of international relations and the challenges posed by the digital age. The world watches closely as Thailand navigates these uncharted waters. The outcome may well influence future diplomatic engagements in the region, indicating the growing importance of cybersecurity in global politics. The stakes for Hun Sen, Paetongtarn, and indeed both nations, could not be higher. Adapted by ASEAN Now from Thai Newsroom 2025-07-11 -

Community American Tourist Assaulted by Bar Owner for Filming Venue
I indeed... Seems like he escalated the sitation, deliberately so... quite the tool. Many men who frequent these bars prefer to keep a low profile; they certainly don’t want their faces plastered all over social media. Unfortunately, many of the foolish TikTokers and others fail to grasp this, wrongly believing that anything happening in public is fair game to film. There’s a complete lack of respect for others’ privacy, even if they are out in a public venue or area. Just a few weeks ago, I was in a bar showing a friend something on my phone when a couple of the women and the owner, or perhaps the Mamasan, came over initially in a rush somewhat agitated and told me not to film... I smiled, and showed them that I'd deliberately held the phone to cover the camera lens... clearly signalling my understanding.... a simple act of de-escalation.... after that they weren't bothered at all. But, if a tool is going to kick off about such things, then they kind of deserve a response.
