Imminent NRP rally?

February 23, 2007
Cambodia's NRP to hold rally against Funcinpec lawsuit

The Norodom Ranariddh Party ( NRP) plans to stage a demonstration soon to protest the Funcinpec Party's allegation that NRP president pocketed public funds, said a press release received on Thursday.

The rally aims to protest a lawsuit filed by the co-ruling Funcinpec Party to the Phnom Penh Municipal Court that NRP President Prince Norodom Ranariddh kept the money for selling Funcinpec's headquarters in November 2005 when he still headed Funcinpec, said the release.

The rally also aims at Funcinpec Secretary-General Nhiek Bun Chhay, who accused Ranariddh of breach of trust regarding the sale, as well as the court's bias in handling the case, it said.

The demonstration scheduled in early March is expected to draw some 10,000 participants, it added.

The party is completing an application form for submittal to the Interior Ministry and Phnom Penh Municipality about the plan to hold the huge demonstration.

Ranariddh established NRD later after he was ousted as Funcinpec President in October 2006 for neglecting party affairs and being unable to cooperate with Prime Miniser Hun Sen.

Keep fighting one another until the end of their political career. FUNCINPEC and NRP members it's now clear for you to make a decision. I know there are many of you out there that are so patriotic. However your leaders are not putting the national interest before their personal dispute. If I were you I would defect to SRP who is the real fighter for the poor and for those who are victims of Ah Sen Khvak.

At last, former president of national assembly and also law professor wants to test of demonstration because he wants to be an opposition which may lead him to power again or at least can bargain for some power. Unluckily, only supporters will join demonstration while the leader is teaching in France and will listen to radios RFA or RFI to hear the risk of his supporters.
