Phnom Penh (FN), August 14 - Sourn Serey Ratha, President of Khmer Power Party (KPP), was sent to the court to be questioned on Monday afternoon, according to Song Ly, Deputy Police Chief of Phnom Penh.

Sourn Serey Ratha acknowledged his message sending to activists in France which insulted the King and admitted his fault for a Facebook post that accused the Cambodian military commanders as thieves.

KPP President was arrested after he wrote on Facebook, insulting Cambodian military commander, according to a senior official of Phnom Penh Municipal Court (PPMC) on Sunday afternoon.

“The result of the war with Laos is the same as the war with Thailand! Only Khmer low-ranking soldiers died, whereas, the boss behind the back collect the merit and stay in comfort zone,” Ratha wrote on Facebook.

“The army was furious with Ratha, and it is good that the police arrest him immediately, otherwise the army will not tolerate him. It is better for Ratha to sleep in the prison than outside because his life would be threatened if he stays outside,” confirmed Cambodia's top military officials.

High-ranking military officials demanded the court to take legal action and punish Ratha, without exception.
