Sihanoukville police arrested two members of the Sam Rainsy Party Wednesday, in what party officials called an act of political intimidation.

Chan Keng, 37, and Ngin Sat, 42, were arrested at their office, party members said, though they did not outline the charges against the men.

Human rights workers said the men were likely arrested for participation in several land disputes stemming from the ouster of 50 families from a Sihanoukville neighborhood in November.

Someone need to reveal the secret tunnel that Hun Sen built in Ta Kmao.

One of them must be running through the river; the other must be running to Kampot, near the Vietnam border.

Any brave hearts out there who is willing to show us the secret.

I think SRP should be more careful about their members in the remote areas because CPP will be operating an jeopardizing tactic during near election day....

Culture of CPP is fear, fear and fear...this is their win-win strategy has been used since 1979
