Sourn Serey Ratha, the formerly self-exiled president of the new Khmer Power Party, said yesterday that he was preparing to sue Foreign Minister Hor Namhong for defamation for insinuating last week that Ratha was a “terrorist”, an accusation the government had long levelled at the activist before his return to Cambodia.

Ratha said yesterday that Namhong had made the remarks to the press following a meeting at the US Embassy on December 7 in the midst of comments regarding newly formed parties, calling the KPP “a party, which has as its leader a terrorist mastermind”.

“For this point, I decided to sue him for defamation and inciting people to discriminate against the Khmer Power Party, because from the beginning, we haven’t been a terrorist organisation or the members of a terrorist group,” Ratha said, adding that he planned to file his suit on Monday at the Phnom Penh Municipal Court.
