The decrease of press expression?
Last week; the opposition-affiliated newspaper’s editor had been arrested by the government officials on the charges of defamation, insult and disinformation by just quoting the remark from the SRP’s leader for publication. If the current Cambodia judicial system still regards the quotes of word from the senior government for republication as the defamation and disinformation, I personally think that the both Cambodian people and journalist will be afraid of speaking out and reporting the accurate information.
- The media networks will be afraid to republish the accurate news and information by quoting words from someone or senior government officials.
- The press express will be decreasing because the complaint of the defamation and disinformation of repeat of words will be filed.
- The Cambodian people will be afraid of speaking out and repeating the word of senior government officials or others broadcasting on TV or radio or publishing on newspapers.
- Cambodian bloggers will be afraid to raise the concerns about the current society related to the government officials by repeating works and speech.
If the quotes and repeat of words from senior officials will still be regarded as disinformation and defamation suit, the freedom of express will be going down because people and independent media will not dare to quote or repeat word to republish. Where is the press expression?
