The man was identified as a 25-year-old resident of Kep commune in neighbouring Kep province. Kep provincial deputy police chief Poung Sokheng said the suspect was sent to the Kampot Provincial Court after questioning. Sokheng said the legal basis for the man’s referral to court were his confessions to writing the insulting Facebook posts. “We sent the case to court in connection with two offences. The first is incitement to discriminate and the other is public defamation on social media,” he said. During questioning, the suspect said he wrote the Facebook post as a revenge on his girlfriend who had left him for another man. He said the break-up led him to create a new Facebook profile using the names of his ex-girlfriend’s parents, along with their photos, where he wrote the posts insulting the King and others.
