Phnom Penh (FN), Apr. 11 – Cambodian prime minister Hun Sen decided to terminate Bel Van Det, deputy director general of the General Department of Administration and General Affairs at the Secretariat of State for Civil Aviation, according to the sub-decree seen by Fresh News on Tuesday.

Premier Hun Sen wrote on his telegram channel attached with the termination sub-decree that "this is a warning message to all officials. Do not use your power to harm the vulnerable, especially using illegal weapons."

Samdech also instructed the minister of justice to work with the court to prevent the perpetrator from being released on bail ahead of trial, for he may illegally use weapon to threaten others.

According to the video spread on social media in late March 2023, the deputy director general Bel Van Det was seen using a gun to threaten a student, 22, for honking to his car in Phnom Penh’s Russei Keo district.
