Cambodia's Prime Minister Hun Sen has criticised the UN rights envoy to Cambodia, saying he should deal with violence in his homeland Kenya before demanding reform from the government in Phnom Penh.
The attack against Kenyan lawyer Yash Ghai was the latest in an ongoing row between government officials and the envoy over his scathing assessment of Cambodia's rights situation.
Calling him the "human rights emperor", Hun Sen said Mr Ghai needed to turn his attentions to Kenya instead of unfairly scrutinising Cambodia.
More than 340 people have been killed in Kenya in a wave of bloodshed triggered by last week's disputed presidential polls.
