The infidelity scandal surrounding deputy opposition leader Kem Sokha has become an issue of political importance, Prime Minister Hun Sen insinuated yesterday, adding that he must “protect the honour” of the Cambodian People’s Party against online accusations that they are behind the leaked allegations of affairs.

In practically the same breath, however, the premier went on to warn that he had photographic evidence substantiating the claims, telling attendees at a graduation ceremony in Phnom Penh that Facebook commentary over the saga had dragged it from a private case of defamation into the public sphere.

“Whether at the Bangkok or the Phnom Penh airport, people’s pictures are taken when going in and out,” he said in a veiled warning to Sokha, whom he did not mention by name. “They can take people’s pictures at any hotel. They have the equipment to capture an image so you cannot move.”
