Rainsy Told To Pay $37,000 For Defaming Heng Samrin
Cambodia Daily | 29 July 2016
Opposition leader Sam Rainsy was ordered on Thursday to pay National Assembly President Heng Samrin about $37,500 after being found guilty of defaming him in a Facebook post that claimed, incorrectly, that Mr. Samrin’s regime in the 1980s had sentenced King Norodom Sihanouk to death.
In 1979, the Vietnamese government installed Mr. Samrin as president of the People’s Republic of Kampuchea (PRK). Mr. Rainsy, in November, posted a video of the king in the 1980s criticizing Hanoi for its invasion—with a caption saying the PRK had sentenced the king to death.
