Ranariddh not to return home to face court charges

March 12, 2007
Cambodian prince says not to return home to attend court

Cambodia Prince Ranariddh said on Sunday that he will not return to Cambodia to attend the court over corruption charges, because the court is "biased" and the lawsuit is "politically motivated", local radio reported.

The Cambodian court is biased, not independent, has irregularity in trial and is in the hand of an influential person, local radio quoted him as saying from Malaysia.

"I will not return to Cambodia to face the court on March 13," he said.

The Phnom Penh Municipal Court plans to summon him on Tuesday, for the Funcinpec Party, which he headed before October 2006, filed a lawsuit to accuse him of pocketing some 3.6 million U.S. dollars from selling the party's headquarters.

The prince denied the accusation, insisting that the party's steering committee should be held responsible for the sale, not himself only.

Meanwhile, members of the Norodom Ranaridhh Party (NRP) across the country have thumb-printed petitions, urging him not to return home for his trial on Tuesday. They plan to demonstrate to demand justice for him and the other people.

Chiv Keng, director of the court, said last week that the court is unbiased and is handling the case fairly.

In addition, Nhiek Bun Chhay, Secretary General of the Funcinpec Party, said earlier this week that the party will insist on demanding justice from the court.

For neglecting party affairs and being unable to cooperate with Prime Minister Hun Sen, the prince was ousted as Funcinpec president in October 2006 and later established NRP.

Listen folks, this is how the khmer's court operate.
if you sue the CPP, you're surely lost . If the CPP sue you, it's guaranty 200 percent that you'll be end up in jail. But if the judges mistekenly found the CPP guilty, the judges themselve will lose their jobs,and end up in prison too.So,never sue the CPP...

I think if Ranarith need to communicate with Sihanouk and the Chinese leaders, he might get off the hook. But China; Sihanouk; King and HS see NR as a trouble maker for cambodia. China just join WTO in 2001 and during the votes Hun Sen (Cambodia PM) vote for, but Vietnam voted against with Malay & Brunei and some others. You can not win in Cambodia
if you're ignoring China. Same as
during 1980-1989.

NO! He is not comming back because people ask him too, he is a good leader that alway listen to people wishes for his own good.

But if Hun Xen was willing to negociate again like 1998, people voice can wait for another 5 years.

He will listen in the next future again, for his own good.

If some one compares Phalla(RUN-Rot whore or wife) to Aquino, I think that they both are very different.
Aquino is highly educated woman of Phillipinos who holds Phd. in Law & Maths with politics experiences gained from her husband,Ex-Phillipines President.......
Sraem Phall: just a dancer who knows very well how to rob someone's husband and to cover Preah Ang RUN-ROT Only.........
