The Rasmei Kampuchea newspaper reported that Mr. Kem Sokha, the former president of the Cambodian Center for Human Rights (CCHR), asked for a delay in his court appearance to clarify about the defamation lawsuit brought by his former workers. Kem Sokha asked for a delay to 30 July 2007, claiming that he is too busy with organizing the HRP congress. The report indicated that 5 former CCHR employees sued Kem Sokha for defamation. Following the filing of the lawsuit, the deputy prosecutor issued a summon for Kem Sokha’s court appearance on 28 June 2007 so that he can be questioned about this lawsuit. But on 26 June, Ms. Meng Sopheary, Kem Sokha’s lawyer, requested the court for a delay to 30 July instead claiming that her defendant is busy with the party congress which will be held on 22 July.

Kem Sokha is a corrupt and the self-centered leader.

Wherever he works for or joins, it will be disappeared.

He is always a jumping frog!
