‘Door closed’ for Rainsy, says Namhong
Minister of Foreign Affairs Hor Namhong said after a meeting with US Ambassador William Heidt on 7 December that the “time was over” for opposition leader Sam Rainsy to retract comments that are the subject of an outstanding defamation sentence.
“I had kept the door open for … Sam Rainsy to give him the ability to be free from punishment,” Namhong told reporters. “But I think that the time is over [for Rainsy] because of his insolent and twisted [words].”
