Amid continuing protests of his official visit to France on Sunday, Prime Minister Hun Sen said that opposition leader Sam Rainsy may end up behind bars over his Facebook page’s connection to the post that saw Senator Hong Sok Hour jailed.

Speaking to some 800 supporters in Paris, Hun Sen said that because Hong Sok Hour’s post about the 1979 Cambodia-Vietnam border treaty was made on a page belonging to Rainsy, he may also be liable.

“Who is the page owner? The page owner is Rainsy, so it can reach back to Rainsy,” he said, adding that he would not pardon Rainsy if charges were brought against him.

Cambodia National Rescue Party deputy leader Kem Sokha on Saturday drew a positive message from Prime Minister Hun Sen’s recent warnings that an opposition election victory could lead to civil war, trumpeting it as acceptance from the premier that he could be defeated.

“Listen to the political message of our competitor recently, he [Hun Sen] said ‘If the National Rescue Party wins’,” Sokha said to hundreds of supporters during a speech in Preah Sihanouk province.

“Now even our competitor recognises that the [CNRP] could win the upcoming [2018] election, so we must prepare ourselves properly in order to win,” he said.
