Licensed media publisher and popular social media commentator Pheng Vannak has repeatedly threatened to kill Cambodia Daily Khmer journalist Taing Sarada via Facebook.
“Do not come into Cambodian territory, if you dare to enter Cambodian territory, I will cut off your head with an ax,” Vannak said in an audio message sent via Facebook to Sarada on June 19. CamboJA obtained the audio messages.
“If you [Sarada] were in Cambodia, I would slash your head with an ax and walk into prison, national traitor, you are so cheap” Vannak continued. He has also made misogynistic comments about Sarada’s wife.
