The Norodom Ranariddh Party (NRP) in Banteay Meanchey province alleged that there are threats against its local officials.
The allegations followed a report which claimed that five NRP party signs were destroyed by four agents of the ruling Cambodian People’s Party (CPP) on the night of 19th March at Teuk Cho commune in Preah Net Preah district and another incident which happened yesterday when the agents of the Military Police stopped two trucks carrying officials of the NRP who had returned from a meeting in Preah Net Preah district.
The party’s statement released today stated that seven heavily armed military policemen had stopped the trucks carrying the NRP officials on the spot in Preah Net Preah for 30 minutes to search for illegal weapons.
The statement further stated that the authority’s actions constituted threats because the search was carried out only on the trucks carrying the NRP officials and other vehicles were allowed to go freely and were not stopped or searched.
The NRP’s statement has appealed to human rights groups and the Office of the UN High Commission for Human Rights in Cambodia to take actions to protect the civil rights and political rights of all Khmer citizens.

It's a sign that the CPP and Hun Sen are very nervous about the election results, that's why it increased its intimiddation against the oppositions. I think Hun Sen has the feeling that his days are numbered. Intimidation and threats are what Hun Sen and his CPP know best. It is the only way he can achieve his goals to stay in power forever.
Nonsense, those idiots always pull out "Political threat" card whenever they got caugh cheating, nothing new here.
What cheating? When election time comes intimidations increased. This is the CPP's dirty tricks by trying to create fears and trying to win at all cost. Arrests of SRP officials. Now it is NRP's officials. Intimidations will keep happening until after the election. Hun Sen's pretended to appeal to his supporters not to use violence, now the CPP has actually creating fears and intimidations. Hypocrisy!
Stop playing dumb will you? This is not the first time we've been through this.
Not the time we've been through Hun Sen's and CPP's threats and intimidations? Yes, this is not the first time and will not be the last time. Threats and intimidations is Hun Sen's trademark.
Wrong, PM doesn't used neither threat or intimidation. That is between the good Khmer people who's trying to preserved their culture and heritage from being wipe out by westerner puppet, and there is nothing wrong with that.
