Cambodia's Prime Minister Hun Sen has warned Western diplomats against "arrogant" interference, saying they insulted him by visiting detained opposition leader Kem Sokha. Hun Sen said he does not trust foreigners who insult him and his sovereignty, calling on diplomats to choose between supporting opposition parties and politicians or the government. He also said there is a possibility that Kem Sokha could be pardoned by King Norodom Sihamoni, but only if he makes the request in writing. Kem Sokha was sentenced to 27 years in prison in March this year in a verdict widely seen as politically motivated.
