The chairman of the HRP in Kompong Chhnang declared on 23 July that the CPP Daun Viet village chief threatened members of his party who participated in the party’s congress on 22 July in Phnom Penh.
Um Sarom, chairman of the HRP branch in Kompong Leng district, Kompong Chhnang province, accused Uk Soeun, the Daun Viet village chief located in Kompong Hav commune, Kompong Leng district, Kompong Chhnang province, of threatening the life of three HRP members who traveled to attend the party congress in Phnom Penh. The 3 HRP members are now very concerned.
Um Sarom said: “At 6:00AM, on 23 July, Un Soeun, the CPP Daun Viet village chief, threatened three of my party activists who are: Ty Horn, Chum Hel, and Ou Khoeun. He said that: ‘The two or three of you should be shot in the middle of the chest, you went somewhere and you didn’t tell me.’ My activists were wearing the HRP T-shirts from the party congress yesterday. Therefore, I am complaining to national and international organizations, all human rights NGOs, to help resolve this issue, and to help provide good protection to HRP activists in Kompong Leng district, or in the entire province of Kompong Chhnang, from the ruling party which is putting pressure on the HRP such as what has just happened.”
CPP village chief Uk Soeun rejected this accusation by declaring that he did not threaten the three activists as Um Sarom claimed. He only reminded his villagers to let him know on their whereabouts because he is the village chief.
Uk Soeun said: “I did not threaten them, I only said people … this morning where did you go? I heard from the police and the military police they came to ask me of your whereabouts, I was surprised that you went somewhere without letting me know. If you go and nothing happen to you, it’s fine, but if something happens to you, I could be accused of not knowing the whereabouts of the people, and allowing them to have accidents. I only said that, I did not say anything else… They have the rights to join any party, I cannot force them.”
Regarding this dispute, Sam Chankea, director of the Adhoc human rights organization branch in Kompong Chhnang said that he is investigating this issue.
Kem Sokha’s HRP party held its party congress at the Olympic Stadium on Sunday 22 July, with the participation of several thousands of people. This is the first party congress where the leadership of the party was announced: Kem Sokha as the party president, and the party has three vice-presidents: Pen Sovann, Keo Remy, and Kiet Sokun.

HRP sign looks like Tela petroleum logo. All name and logo were stole from others to deceive people eyes, for example the human right name from civil society which was well known by people and logo was stole from a designed of private company.
The HRP's logo will disappare after
the 2008 election, believe me.
Do you think this tupid logo be able to cheat khmer people? No way.
Now every body know, HRP is the puppet of CPP.
I do not believe Kem Sokha, if he is really democratic person why he did not join with some democretic party? for pro of Hun Sen and for his own power that he open one party for himself, otherwise he is a silly man that use Humanright for his party's name. Hahahahahe a funny man and I hope that he will got nothing for new election 2008.
Hun Sen > Nhek Bun Chhay > Kem Sokha o! oh!
All Cambodian please think about our future

What Khem Sokha should focus; Rainsy should concentrate?
Khem Sokha's attitude is basically extreme. He is baseless to pre-conditioning SRP in democratic coalition.
In reality one party, with long one president is not a big obstacle to development democracy. But in reality, one country one leader (prime minister) is really dangerous to the nation.
* 1. One party with one long president doesn't affect bad to the development of democracy in that party when the party has democratic regulation. It depends on the by-laws of the party. Sometime head of the party or president of one organization doesn't have much power when decision is according major voice or it is limited by the organization rule. Ex. King of Cambodia or head of state has been limited power by national constitution.
* 2. SRP has reason for its keeping same leader. Cambodian people are absolutely, mostly voting or trusting person not policy or regulation. Ex. they voted for King Sihanouk. So Rainsy should be idealistic person to attract people. Cambodian people need longer time to walk on the path of law or regulation because they are still less educated. So Rainsy should stand as a main person to attract people for a while in SRP.
* 3. The problem of SRP has its rational perspective. The name of party is his own name, so it is legitimate keeping Rainsy in position. And this party name has come from the losing in Cambodian shadow court to reclaim Cheat Khmer Party back during the internal division.
* 4. Rainsy can stand as president of SRP in case of need now. But he cannot ignore or neglect the recent movement triggered by Khem Sokha. He should do some more broad envisioning plan to have a strong party administration. Doing so he can employ more effective members and strengthening this largest democratic party in Cambodia.
* 5. He should observe from CPP that they don't have rule to limit president of the party, but they need to adjust the administrative organization. CPP is standing strong, beside of huge coffer and power, we have to accept that they also have strong base of administration.
* 6. In this case, what is the intention of Khem Sokha to blame Rainsy with such slightest error to call for vote? It is really essential for Khem Sokha to join with SRP but it must not pre-conditioning with such subversive perspective.
Khem Sokha should begin their strategy to gain votes by facing with CPP. There are uncountable errors in CPP:
* 1. Corruption
* 2. Dictator with one prime minister
* 3. Illegal immigrants Yeaknam
* 4. Land grabbing
* 5. Culture of impunity
* 6. Yeaknam illegal employments
* 7. Controversial border treaty
* 8. Vote disfranchisements
* 9. Power centralizing in small group person of government
* 10. Education and Children competency...etc
* 11. Not independent court and assembly...etc
* 12. Poor condition, poverty, child birth rate of mortality, social gap...etc

Pls watch the Tmil Tep Vong in Youtube: http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=Tep+vong&search=Search
HRP is not the independant party because we know very
well two new members of HRP is that :
- Mr Chan Ven (he is CPP member and was Minister of
Education during Youn domination in Cambodia 1979-1989).
-Mr Pen Sovann is always Youn spy (he is released by Youn
Hanoi in 1992 after 10years in jail at his house in yanoi).
The wife of Pen Sovann is youn lived in hanoi.
Chan Ven and Pen Sovann are Youn servant and Youn
spy. They also belong to CPP (Communist Pro youn Party).
Those are the same tricks that Mr Ung Phan (member of CPP
central committee) in Funcipec 1993 and during coup of 5-6 july 1997
Mr Kem Sokha had tendance to CPP (Communist Pro youn
Party) too
So HRP is not really an independant party or really brings
Democracy to Cambodia people
Yeah, IRI brings democracy to Cambodia People. But not
Kem Sokha because Kem Sokha did not belong to IRI..
Now It's the way for Kem Sokha to serve CPP (Communist Pro youn Party)
