UJFC urges law enforcement officers to enforce press law
The Union of Journalist Federations of Cambodia has called on law enforcement agencies to apply the press law when they wanted to file complaints against journalists. The UJFC statement was released on Tuesday after Prek Chak customs checkpoint chief Yi Thol filed a lawsuit at Kampot Provincial Court alleging that 10 online journalists had prevented his officers from performing their duties by filming activities in the area on May 28. On May 28, 10 journalists from Cambodian People News TV online were involved in an argument with Mr Thol at the checkpoint after he grabbed one of their mobile phones while they were taking videos of trucks transporting cooking oil across the border from Vietnam.
