Chea Mony, who succeeded his brother Chea Vichea as president of the Free Trade Union in Cambodia, received a death threat by e-mail on Monday, according to The Cambodia Daily and other news sources. The articles are posted here, along with this text from the message:

“If you join the CPP, you can find Chea Vichea’s killers, but if you join the SRP, everything will be the same ... I don’t advise you which way to walk, but you need to have some powerful people behind you to protect your security, otherwise [people] will follow to assassinate you.”

Vichea was assassinated several months after receiving a death threat by text message on his mobile phone. We don't want a sequel.
