Opposition leader Sam Rainsy is summoned to the Paris Appeal court on 08 October in regards to the defamation lawsuit opposing him to Hor 5 Hong, the Cambodian minister of Foreign Affairs.
On 08 October 2009, Sam Rainsy will again defend his position on Hor 5 Hong’s past during the KR era.
On 27 January 2009, Sam Rainsy was sentenced by the Paris tribunal for stating in his autobiography – Rooted in the Stone (Calman-Lévy, 2008) – that Hor 5 Hong directed the Boeung Trabek detention center under the KR regime.
At that time, Sam Ransy and the book publisher were each sentenced to pay a symbolic amount of 0.50 euro ($0.72) to Hor 5 Hong. He was also ordered to remove the word “collaborator” and the sentence “suspected of leading several people to their death” from future editions of the book in relation to Hor 5 Hong. Sam Rainsy appealed the case.
“My book can continue to be sold as is, without any change, everywhere, until the depletion of the current edition, in contrast, Hor 5 Hong asked that they are being ceased,” Sam Rainsy told Cambodge Soir Hebdo from Paris.
