Cambodian officials filed a lawsuit against a leading rights activist for defamation. Former Prime Minister Hun Sen believes Soeng Sen Karuna defamed him in an interview.
There have been previous cases in which political opponents of the ruling party have been ordered to pay punitive damages after being found guilty of defamation.
The complaint, according to a copy seen by The Associated Press, referred to comments Soeng Sen Karuna made in a recent interview in which he allegedly said that the Cambodian People’s Party used the country’s courts as a tool to thwart or intimidate its political opponents.
