Cambodian politicians arrested for fraudulent claims
VTV.vn - Soc Som An, Leader of Cambodia National Rescue Party in Bavet and Bavet City councillor Nong Sa-rith were arrested yesterday in Bavet, a city near the border with Vietnam.

According to the Cambodian police, the two CNRP members faked their birth origins and posted them on facebook to distort the relation between Cambodia and Vietnam. This is not the first time CNRP officials have used social media to distribute false information about relations between the two countries. A recent case also involved an obvious fabrication of birth certificate which claimed the Cambodian province of Takéo was now owned by Vietnam. This was then posted on Facebook.
