News_Editor Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 The opposition yesterday criticised a local news website’s posting of photos comparing Cambodia National Rescue Party president Sam Rainsy to Adolf Hitler, saying it is “not appropriate at allâ€. On its website on Saturday, Cambodia Express News posted a picture of Rainsy pointing his arm into the air during a recent opposition rally. Alongside it is a picture of Hitler, the former Nazi Party leader responsible for millions of deaths, giving the infamous Nazi salute. Also featured are photos of those giving the salute at a Nazi rally and the 1936 Berlin Olympic Games. Nguon Serath, who works for CEN’s website, defended the post yesterday. “We received the picture from a reader. Raising the hand, it is kind of a funny activity,†he said. “It is our freedom to publish it.†But CNRP spokesman Yim Sovann said the comparison “is not appropriate at allâ€. “Rainsy is a democrat. He is a clean leader. And he is respected. Do not compare him to Hitler,†he said. no-show National Shane Worrell Cheang Sokha View the full article Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
