Minister of Foreign Affairs Hor Namhong said after a meeting with US Ambassador William Heidt yesterday that the “time was over” for opposition leader Sam Rainsy to retract comments that are the subject of an outstanding defamation sentence.

“I had kept the door open for … Sam Rainsy to give him the ability to be free from punishment,” Namhong told reporters. “But I think that the time is over [for Rainsy] because of his insolent and twisted [words].”

Rainsy was convicted in absentia of libel after he had alleged in 2008 that Namhong had committed crimes while jailed by the Khmer Rouge at the Boeung Trabek prison camp in the late 1970s.
