A NRP official reacted to Prime Minister Hun Sen who declared on Wednesday that Prince Norodom Ranariddh looks down on the king when the latter refused to help pardon the prince. In an interview given to RFA on Thursday, Muth Chantha, NRP spokesman, called Hun Sen’s accusation a slander on the prince. Muth Chantha said that the pardon of an individual convict is the king’s right, and that this is not an issue of whether the prime minister asked for it or not. Furthermore, the fact that the PM is saying that a pardon can take place only if the executive branch asks for it, this is a violation of the king’s right because the pardon on an individual differs from the pardon for a group of convicts, and only the latter case requires the request from the prison authority after the convicts have completed 2/3 of the sentence and also have good conduct in jail.

Individual convict?

Is it meant that the same person could commit many big mistakes as he would like to and the pardon will be based on individual case Not a number of big mistakes made. That's sound good, everyone shall ask the king for Royal Pardon.
