Sovann Rithy, a journalist and director of online news outlet TVFB in Cambodia, was arrested in the Cambodian capital Phnom Penh for reporting on Facebook about comments made by the Prime Minister Hun Sen during a press conference, in which he said the government could not financially support motorbike-taxi drivers if they went bankrupt. Rithy was detained for “incitement to cause chaos and harm social security” in his social media post, a crime which in Cambodia carries a prison sentence of between six months to two years and a fine of up to four million riel (€900).
