Government confiscates new magazine over critical articles
20 November 2007

The Cambodian Ministry of Information has confiscated a new magazine for allegedly violating the constitutional provision protecting the monarchy, though local reports said other "sensitive" articles featured in the magazine could have triggered the action.

Authorities in the capital city and Battambang province seized all 2,000 copies of the inaugural issue of the monthly "Free Press Magazine" when it was distributed on 2 November 2007. Fearing arrest, the magazine's editor-in-chief, Lem Piseth, and distribution director, Heu Chantha, have been in hiding since then, according to the Phnom Penh-based Cambodian Center for Human Rights.

Information Minister Khieu Kannarith said the magazine featured an article by Dr. Lao Monghai which challenged former king Norodom Sihanouk's immunity from being called as a witness or tried at the Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia (ECCC), established to secure justice for victims of the brutal Khmer Rouge regime that reigned from 1975 to 1979. The minister said the article is against the constitution, which states that the King "shall be inviolable".

The cover picture is a cartoon of Prime Minister Hun Sen brandishing a stick at a terrified ECCC representative, shouting, "You touch our King, we'll kick your ass out from Cambodia!" while sitting on a chair marked "CCP" (the ruling Cambodian People's Party) behind which Sihanouk is cowering.

The magazine also featured a poem critical of Hun Sen and articles about sensitive political and human rights issues; the mysterious murder of cultural icon and screen idol Piseth Pilika in 1999, who allegedly had an affair with Hun Sen; a documentary about the assassination of Chea Vichea, the former president of Free Trade Union of Workers, in 2004; as well as threats and violations against journalists.

Khieu Kannarith said the magazine, sponsored by the US-based Cambodian Action Committee for Justice and Equity, also violated the law by not publishing the name of its editor-in-chief as stated in its application form, according to CCHR.

Information Department Director Yem Noy reportedly said the department and ministry are not closing the magazine as that action is the court's to take.

The editor-in-chief Lem Piseth was an RFA reporter who fled to Thailand in June after he received death threats for reporting extracts of a banned report by Global Witness alleging illegal logging by high-ranking officials. He returned to Cambodia on 16 July.

Prime minister Hun Sen reminded the country’s nouveau rich who amassed their fortune from selling lands, not to be overjoyed with the easy money they obtained, but that they have to make this money multiply itself further more. During a speech given at a diploma distribution ceremony in Kandal province, on Wednesday, Hun Sen said that, regardless of whether the lands they sold came from their ancestors, or they were lands distributed to them by the CPP in 1979, they are now turned into a valuable assets, but after the sale of these lands, people should know how to put this money to use to generate more money honestly. Hun Sen’s declaration was aimed at the country’s nouveau rich people from the sale of their lands, he told them to use the money with clear aim, then it will bring in more wealth to them.

PHNOM PENH, June 10 (Xinhua) -- Cambodian Prime Minister Hun has strongly refuted alleged accusations by the opposition Sam Rainsy Party (SRP) that he had used drugs, English-Khmer language newspaper the Cambodian Daily said Tuesday.

SRP defectors told him that party president Sam Rainsy had said that the premier's cigarettes were laced with drugs, the paper quoted Hun Sen as telling recent ceremonies.

"If I smoked drugs, they would have already died. If I used drugs, I would have ordered tanks to destroy them. I could order the military to kill them because I would have a mental problem if I were drug-addicted," he said.

"Drug-addicted people, they even attack their parents," he said.

Meanwhile, Sam Rainsy denied that he had made such remarks.

Both Hun Sen's Cambodian People's Party (CPP) and SRP have been approved to join the general election in July, which will establish the kingdom's fourth government.

Hun Sen said that CPP will score landslide victory, while SRP vowed that it can win premiership.
