geovalin Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 Cambodian police have appealed for Interpol's help to arrest a Facebook user who allegedly posted a doctored photo of Prime Minister Hun Sen's wife to damage her “honour and dignity”, a government official said on Tuesday. It is the latest attempt to control social media in the kingdom, despite efforts by Hun Sen to ramp up his own online persona as he bids to extend a 31-year hold on power. The photo, which briefly went viral before the Facebook account was apparently taken down, showed a holidaying Hun Sen in casual clothes posing with his grandchildren and wife Bun Rany. She is seen smiling, in sunglasses and three-quarter length trousers, but is standing with her legs apart. That stance is considered deeply inappropriate in conservative Cambodia, where women are expected to pose demurely with their legs together. Authorities say the holiday snap was taken from Hun Sen's Facebook page, doctored and shared to denigrate Bun Rany by another user “Haknuman Leung”. “The act damages the honour and dignity of the First Lady of a nation,” General Khieu Sopheak, spokesman for the Ministry of Interior, said. Police have identified the poster as a Cambodian “who lives overseas” and have issued an arrest warrant, he added. “We are working with Interpol to issue a Red Notice for the person,” he said. read more : http://www.scmp.com/news/asia/southeast-asia/article/1902861/cambodia-appeals-interpol-over-facebook-slur-prime-minister Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sanukjim Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Are they sure that the photo was " doctored" and not some photographer getting lucky during The PM's wife in a relaxed moment? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scouse123 Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Why is he complaining?? What kind of nonsense is this to be troubling Interpol???,................... as if they have nothing better to do. The only way he is still in power is bullying,scaring people, extra judicial killings, treachery, rigging elections, corruption..................the usual South Asian stuff. He is hated by Cambodia's young. This is a man who is manipulating the social media for his own advantage as much as possible. He is just another in a long line of despots that think a country is there for the sole purpose of their own personal bank balance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hawker9000 Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 And in related news, Facebook is launching a new android app which incorporates Tor security. 'Think they're calling it 'Orbot'. 'Wish govts wouldn't do stuff like this. It makes them look silly, out-of-touch, and openly repressive. And it just attracts further unwanted attention & publicity as well as copycats. Hopefully Interpol has more important things to do and is quietly telling them to just forget it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
