The re-launch of his Twitter account comes after he deleted his Facebook page, which had more than 14 million followers, at the end of June. He quit Facebook before its Oversight Board made the official decision to suspend

his Facebook page for six months for inciting violence against the opposition.

The government has released statements accusing the decision of being politically motivated and banned members of the Oversight Board from Cambodia.
