Prosecutors
questioned Sam Rainsy Party lawmaker Ho Vann at Phnom Penh Municipal
Court on Friday, in relation to a defamation lawsuit brought by 22
military officers who have accused him of denigrating the quality of
the degrees awarded to them by a Vietnamese military academy. Ho Vann
denies making the assertion, claiming that the news outlet that
initially reported the alleged statement had issued a correction that
could help to resolve the dispute. "If the prosecutor understands my
explanation, the plaintiffs will understand as well," he said. The
court's deputy prosecutor, Sok Roeun, declined comment Sunday, saying
that he could not discuss the court's decision beforehand.
