Cambodian prince sentenced to 18 months in jail for fraud

PHNOM PENH (AFP) - Cambodia's ousted royalist leader Prince Norodom Ranariddh was Tuesday sentenced in absentia to 18 months in jail for fraud, over the illegal sale of his former political party's headquarters.

"There is enough evidence to sentence (the prince) for breach of trust," presiding judge Sao Meach said after the hearing.

The prince, who is in Malaysia, was also ordered to pay 150,000 US dollars to the Funcinpec political party, from which he was sacked as president last October.

Sao Meach said Ranariddh had committed a breach of trust after trying to buy land -- presumably for a new Funcinpec compound -- in his own name following the 3.6-million-dollar sale of the old party headquarters.

An arrest warrant was issued for the prince last month after he twice failed to appear before the court.

Prime Minister Hun Sen said at the weekend that he would not request a royal pardon for the prince, painting his former coalition government partner as a unrepentant troublemaker.

But members of the prince's new political organisation, the Norodom Ranariddh Party, said the verdict was "unacceptable and unjust", and threatened to hold a public protest against the ruling.

It is your time now Ranaridh. You were laught when the victims were suffering from the court. You were very happy with Hun Sen when the Cambodian people are crying. Go to sleep in the prision than you will learn about the suffering of the poors and victims.

Khmeng Wat Khnong Srok
Hun Sen; He is in power now. Who can prosecute him, even in US or UK
very difficalt to prosecute or impeach high government sitting office. Reasons: the government fontion will be disrupt; foreign
investment will put on hold. Only
coupe détat like Thailand or wait
for a result of election, if Hun Sen lose, he is in hot water. That why he is concern on every elections.

I wish if I could be happy with the news that one of the crooks was sentenced to jail, but I won't. Because the other innocents will follow this suit in years to come if this ruler remains.

A big smile to his wife, Marie, but his mistress Phalla Uk, no.

Right after Hun Sen, the law breaker himself issued a statement he would not write to the King to pardon Rannaridh, the Jungle Court of Hun Sen found Rannaridh guilty. What a laughable!! Hah..Hah.

Hun Sen is the killer, the law breaker rules and ruins the country. Hun Sen redicules the justice system as he has always done.

The structure of the criminal justice system designed to remove dangerous people like Hun Sen himself, and his powerful Generals, the land grabbers, etc. and of course Rannaridh, from the community, and to transform them into law-abiding citizenz. BUT, since the killer/law breakers are in power, you all will see Hun Sen continues to use his monkey court to hurt/harm everyone he wishes to do so.

Hun Sen, a bastard, the evil animal creature can condemn all.

Rannarih is Fallen by his own faults and by the environment he is with. If his wife and his mistress are educated women with prestige degree/careers, they would have not fought for the man like Rannaridh.

Sadly these 2 women are nothing more better than parasites who also contribute the society to further corruption.

List all the activities of these 2 women, what have the 2 done for Cambodia besides piling themselves with $$ and gold/diamond, big houses etc..?

It is to sad that Rannaridh has never had a good educated/wise woman to be by his side, after his father left his mother for new ones and after his mother died.
These two women are pretty much gold diggers, and they are no good for the society.

Rannaridh is mentally sick and he is crying for help. The society or environement failed him, so he should be given a second chance.

Who is Hun Sen? And why is she getting away from all crimes? Why is he having a full authority to prosecute everyone without reading the law properly?

Again when we have the killer/law breaker in power, we have to pray for mercy.

I don't need to ask King Sihanouk, because everyone and I can't wait to see and/or read Hun Sen replies to this charge. hahahaha..

[[[[Sam Rainsy said: “I am not a leader who is a vassal of any foreign country, who is installed by foreigners. I was never corrupt, therefore, I have nothing to reply to anybody. As long as I am faithful to the nation, faithful to the people, as long as I have nationalist and educated people working with me, not those former Khmer Rouge, not those crooks, not those killers, I only look for good standing people.”]]]]

WHAT COMES AROUND GOES AROUND. IN CARTOON MOVIE YOU CAN DO ANYTHING.
THIS TIME RANARITH, NEXT TIME ANOTHER POLITIICAN, THEN ANOTHER TIME WILL BE WHOSE WILL BE HIS TIME UP.

IN CAMBODIA, HISTORY REVEALED THAT THERE HAS BEEN CIRCLE OF REVENGE.

HUN SEN KNOWS VERY CLEAR THAT ONCE HE NO LONGER IN POWER , HE WILL BE PROSECUTED OR EVEN KILLED. HE KNOWS THAT THE PEOPLE WHO SUPPORT HIM ARE OPPORTUNISTICS. HE KNOWS THAT THOSE PEOPLE NEEDS POWER AND MONEY HE CAN PROVIDE NOT FROM THE BUTTOM OF THEIR HEARTS.

HUN SEN HAS MADE UP HIS MIND SET AND WILLING TO USE THESE PLANS WHEN THE TIME COMES. HE HOPE THAT HE CAN STAY UNTIL HE DROPS DEATH BY ILLNESS OR OLD AGE. HE DOESN'T EXPECT TO BE ASSASINATED. BUT HE IS MORE CAUTIOUS ABOUT THIS POTENTIAL ISSUE AS WELL.

HE HOPES THAT AS LONG AS HE HAS MADE MONEY AND STILL IN POWER HE CAN OVERRUN AND OUT SMART THESE STORMS AND OBSTACLES.

BUT HE FEELS LESS OPTIMISTIC ABOUT HOW IN THE FUTURE ABOUT HIS CHILDREN WHO WILL BE LIVING WITHOUT HIS PROTECTION?

This is Ranariddh's turn to face the uncertain of his future political life. Let him find his way out himself. When Hun Sen's court sentenced Rainsy, Ranaridth said, "The problem is Mr. Rainsy himself." So let it be.

I know that this is not fair because the land grabbers and the killers around the country are on the lose and Ah Khvak never get in trouble no matter how much land he ceded to Ah Youn Communist or how many Khmer he ordered to be killed. You have to understand that this is Ah Sen's court. The judges will never sentence their boss. This is how the court works in fake-democratic Cambodia. For the time being Ranariddh will stay abroad and enjoy the $ he received from his corrupted action while in power.

Moi28 are you in the wrong page here? I do not expect anything more from Ah Khvak regarding this strong but true statement made by SRP leader.

It seems that many commentators accept that Ranariddh's trial was fair, the court was independent, competent and impartial, and he well deserves that punishment. If they really do, they give too much credit to Cambodian courts.
Furthermore, they should be reminded that trial by default or in absentia, legal in the Cambodian criminal justice system, is a violation of human rights. Article 14 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights to wich Cambodia is a party, fixes a number of minimum guarantees of a fair trial, one of which is "to be tried in his [the accused's] presence" (3.d). They should be reminded that the Malaysian judge who decided to deport former Phnom Police Commissioner Heng Pov back to Singapore from where he had entered Malaysia, rejected his (Heng Pov's) trial and sentencing in absentia by the very court that has tried Ranariddh. It should be added that Ranariddh can still challenge his sentence at the same court and/or appeal against it to the Court of Appeal. If he does, he is entitled in Cambodian law to be presumed innocent. To be fair to him, one should give him the benefit of the doubt.

Dear Mr. LAO Mong Hay.
Please note that many comminicators did not judge that Ranarith case is fair/ But Ranarath juded himself and his followers judged that PP Court is fair/independant while he was in Co- Power e.g in Kem Sokha case and many others land Dispute cases...of poor people...

Now Let Run Rot be expeirienced in life....
Dr Ranarith Phd. in Poli Business is different from other people who hold Phd. today he says like this tomorrow will different, and was others....
He has done everything for only him/...
As Politician must do every thing for the Public intersst first..
This guy is A ROYAL Huligan.
I am sorry for any impolite expression if you thing it may happen in my opinions.

Thank you very much for ideal comment and giving us good idea, and please accept Mr. Lao Mong Hay my deepest consideation.
Respectfully
yours,

When Sam Rainsy were sentensed 18 months jail, you was so happy. You said the court judged fairly to Sam Rainsy and other human rights activists. Now the same thing happen to you, why don't you say it is fair to you too?

You are the leader who always make khmer people disappointed and agry you. Do you remember, last time, black you said white, white you said black. Now it serves your rights.

Now your political life is ended.
