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.

Crazy.

 

Interpol will never touch this case.

The pot black kettle Thai police pursue illegal action whatever next I hear you cry 🤔

Waste of tax payers money 

What a load of old cobblers. 

what's wrong with the shinawatras? they are playing a very dangerous game. they still think they can do whatever they want (and playing the victim) and never face any consequences. it's the same arrogant and stubborn attitude teflon toni had back in 2004, which ended up causing the military coup ...

 

i really hope hun sen responds appropriately ... with some pictures and video's would be nice ... 

Well, Hun Sen is guilty of being a Khmer Rouge district commander and should be in jail for his misdeeds.

Says taksin, 'dont nobody dare touch my puppet!'

lol good luck with that. Typical Thais, go after the one that spread it, not the one that done it.

Was this written by the Thai Tourism Authority. Totally absurd as all of there pronouncements are.

RTP has nu jurisdiction in other lands, just as other land can't do in Thailand.. So a lot of talk, but with outcome of nothing...Maybe Thailand doesn't realize it, but there is in other countries freedom of speech, press and speaking...unless in Thailand

My GF is Cambodian and 45yrs old. She lost two brothers, an uncle and maybe more to the Khmer Rouge. Her mother, now 79 years, was forced labour under KR. Dad, now 84 was lucky to survive. GF's parents are still alive, amazingly. GF (and likely many other Cambodians), just accept Hun Sen and Hun Manet as they have ultimate power and influence, to the detriment of the Cambodian people.

One of my former co-workers was a young child  who left Cambodia as a refugee. His family was  slaughtered. He wants justice.  Other older Cambodians who I have met, share similar views.

This acceptance of the amart and, "it is what it is" pretty much mirrors the dulled perceptions and expectations of the prai here in Thailand, just without the awful genocide bit.

i hope no one will claim that teflon toni is a better person than hun sen, just because fewer people were killed in extrajudicial killings (war on drugs) under thaksin as prime minister than under the khmer rouge with hun sen ...

...

In February 2003, the Thai government, under then Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra, launched a 'war on drugs', purportedly aimed at the suppression of drug trafficking and the prevention of drug use. In fact, a major outcome of this policy was arbitrary killings. In the first three months of the campaign there were some 2800 extrajudicial killings.

They said they did that for Red Bull, but no one ever saw the notice.

The issue has been discussed many times in previous years. The drug cartels  had set up a state within a state and were in effect an enemy paramilitary force. Their money corrupted everything it touched. The military carried out the  liberation action and in some cases were   needlessly violent and mucked up. Corrupt police and local  gangsters used the narco terrorist suppression action to settle disputes. Had Thailand not done what it did, Thailand would  have been ruled by drug cartels much as what happened in Guatemala, Panama, Columbia, Mexico, Peru and  Bolivia.

 

openly sharing the audio conversation with Paetongtarn. This incident has already had major political repercussions,

Paetongtarn's severe ethical breaches concerning the Thai-Cambodian border dispute.

 

so...  they shoud give Hun Sen a medal for the expose !

He's head of a state for another nation, covered under diplomatic immunity.

Interesting.

What they want to do?

Throw some fire crackers over the border? 🤗

All he has to do is spread the rumours or tell the stories of what deals he has made with Mr T

 

Whether they are legitimate or not will be enough for the serial filers to submit paperwork to the NACC and other relevant areas.  

 

Not covered in Thai media but Hunsen already told Thaksin to back off or he would outline all the deals that they ahve made as well as the number of times he has defamed or plotted against the King.

 

Remember, red shirts were not for the monarchy; that was the yellow.

 

I still think I see that plane sitting in the  corner of DMK with no markings waiting for it's passengers.

What a laugh!  Do you honestly think Hun Sen will answer to charges by the Thai Police in Thailand - I do not think so!

Tell the RTP to get stuffed!

Yet another Thai move to try and save face from the farcical Thai political scene by placing all the blame on Cambodia. 

Hun Sen is guilty of many despicable crimes against his own people but has got away with them all. I somehow doubt he will be in any way concerned about this ridiculous Shinawatra inspired RTP action.

This is just Thailand getting back at Hun Sen and embarrassing him. He won't be able to come to Thailand for a holiday now.

King Norodom Sihamoni is the head of state of Cambodia. Hun Sen was previously head of government when he served as Prime Minister, but his official role now is President of the Senate (though unofficially he is of course still running things). This is still an utterly ludicrous case, though.

This move will not have a happy ending... best not to make Hun Sen an enemy, he knows too much.

He might just release a video of Thaksin dancing the night away while sick

Agree, Nobody is a worse person  than  Hun Sen.
