Today’s Khmer Times newspaper has this article about a woman jailed for throwing a shoe at a billboard image of the prime minister! The prime minister regularly reminds the people that he is not a dictator and government spokesmen repeat again and again the claim that human and civil rights are respected. Does this look anyone has freedom of speech? Basically it shows how weak and insecure the current government is when they feel they need to prosecute such a trivial event.
