Sam Rainsy s Facebook page
A court in Cambodia on Monday charged acting opposition leader Sam Rainsy under the country’s Lèse-majesté law after he called King Norodom Sihamoni a “puppet” for helping to cover up shortcomings in Prime Minister Hun Sen’s response to the coronavirus pandemic.
Justice Minister Keut Rith issued an injunction on Dec. 25 requesting that the Phnom Penh Municipal Court take “strong measures” against acting Cambodia National Rescue Party (CNRP) President Sam Rainsy for two Facebook posts last week. Court deputy prosecutor Seng Hieng followed up Monday, formally charging the opposition leader, who lives in self-imposed exile in Paris.
