Two journalists are charged with libel in Cambodia.
PHNOM PENH—A Cambodian reporter and the Irish editor of an English-language newspaper here have been charged with defamation in connection with an article about the ongoing trial of an opposition politician.
The charges against editor-in-chief of the Cambodia Daily Kevin Doyle and journalist Neou Vannarin came Wednesday, months after the report on the case of opposition Sam Rainsy Party lawmaker Ho Vann.
Ho Vann is accused of defaming 22 military officers with close ties to Prime Minister Hun Sen.
Doyle said he and Neou Vannarin did nothing wrong in reporting the case.
