On of the blunt weapons that the rich use on the poor in this country is suing for defamation; how after all, are the impoverished going to afford a lawyer. And so it is for provincial waitress Hi Theavy.
Theavy accused pals of the Prime Minister's brother- Han Sen- of sexual harassment whilst she was working in a restaurant. Han Sen promptly and improperly sought to have these charges dropped.
Surprisingly, this tactic doesn't appeared to have worked. So, instead one of the accused-Oum Socheath- has filed a defamation case against the waitress. And perhaps there would be nothing wrong with that, except the defamation case has been brought before Cambodia notoriously slow courts before the sexual assault charges have even been concluded.
