Kampong Thom Authority Must Release Mr. Tuot Saron
Kampong Thom Authority Must Release Mr. Tuot Saron
At about 9:30 AM on 18 March 2008, Mr. Tuot Saron, SRP Pong Ro commune chief, Baray district, Kampong Thom province, was arrested by the Baray district police and he was taken to the district police station without any warrant issued by the tribunal. Mr. Tuot Saron was arrested while he was traveling to participate in a meeting at the Baray district office.
The arrest and the taking of Commune Chief Tuot Saron were orchestrated by the police authority after Mr. Hun Sen issued a declaration on Sunday 16 March 2008, regarding the accusation alleging that SRP activists threatened and detained Mrs. Tim Norn.
Mrs. Tim Norn was a former SRP party member in Baray district, she joined the CPP on 14 February 2008. On 16 February 2008, at about 10:00 AM, Mrs. Tim Norn contacted Mr. Thorn Rithy, the deputy chairman of the SRP council committee from Kampong Thom province, and Mr. Men Vannak, the SRP deputy chairman in Baray district, to help her because she decided to leave the CPP. After hearing Mrs. Tim Norn’s insisting pleas, Mr. Thorn Rithy asked Mrs. Tuot Saron, the Pong Ro commune chief and SRP party chairman in Baray district, and Mr. Men Vannak to fetch Mrs. Tim Norn from her hiding place in Kampong Thmor village, Balaing commune, Baray district, and bring her to Phnom Penh where she stayed for a night at the home of Mr. Thorn Rithy on 16 February 2008.
Because Mrs. Tim Norn was scared and concerned about her safety, at 08:00 AM on 17 February 2008, Mr. Thorn Rithy took Mrs. Tim Norn to meet with Mrs. Tioulong Saumura, Phnom Penh SRP MP, at the SRP party headquarters. Afterward, Mrs. Tioulong Saumura told Mr. Thorn Rithy to accompany Mrs. Tim Norn to the Licadho office in Phnom Penh so that this organization can provide her with safety protection. At the Licadho office, Mrs. Tim Norn spoke about her concern over the personal safety of her husband and children in front of the human rights organization officials, and she even asked for help to bring her husband and children to meet her at the Licadho office. During that occasion, Mr. Men Vannak volunteered to bring Mrs. Tim Norn’s husband and children to come and meet her at the Licadho office on 18 February 2008. From that date on, Messrs. Tuot Saron, Thorn Rithy and Men Vannak, as well as other SRP officials, never contacted or met with Mrs. Tim Norn and her family anymore.
Therefore, the arrest made against Mr. Tuot Saron and the attempt to arrest other SRP activists by the police under the accusation that these activists threatened and detained Mrs. Tim Norn, is done with ulterior political motives orchestrated by the ruling party to frighten and discourage SRP activists who refuse to join the CPP.
The SRP asks the Kampong Thom police and tribunal to end the accusation made against Mr. Tuot Saron, and unconditionally release him immediately, and that a proper investigation be conducted in this case to reveal the culprits who invented these charges against innocent people for their personal political benefit.

If the SRP version is correct, then the poor SRP is a mug falling into CPP trap, yet again.
Mrs Tim Norn is not too sure where she is heading, just like the SRP.

It is not far beyond our common sense of understanding the political behavior of Mr.Hun Sen. His last day political rhetoric about informing human rights NGOs to sue, to arrest, or to convict SRP's activists who have intimidated those defectors is the evidence of Hun Sen's effort to implement his old-fashioned political behavior.
It is normal political twisting of Hun Sen since he came to power. Firstly he likely twisted the neck of his master (Penn Sovann). Since then, Hun Sen has undertaken this political game throughout his political career. The tendency is that he will use it whenever he is still in power. His political competency is good in this manner only. Other political talent will be zero for Hun Sen. For example, Hun Sen will try the best to avoid the public debate.
Son San's party, the rife and dissolution of the party is come from within, Cheat Khmer (Khmer Nation Party) also the dissolution is come from within, and recently Funcinpec also caused from within. The tool of Hun Sen to achieve political trick to destroy his opponent also effective through his court.
We also suspect that Thack Ket defecting because of his 3 court verdicts at behind and $$$ including high ranking position in front. This "carrot and stick" technique is widely used by Hun Sen and his advisers. We can extend our investigation that many defectors from SRP, some are truly defected for money and position, some defected because their disappointment in SRP, but some have no choice while they are frightened by CPP's activists and political-oriented court at behind and $$ as well as position in front. The third premise would be popular and relevant.
In some circumstances, Hun Sen and his advisers created chaos inside society and blame such chaotic situation caused by their opponent. With this theory, Sam Rainsy had to flee Cambodia during all man-made social turbulences.
Critically, the act of using "bamboo to cut bamboo" is widely used by Vietnam to achieve their territory expansionism and overcome their enemy. In the moment, Sok Pheng, Ngo Sovann, Chao Phally, etc are the significant tools for Hun Sen to achieve his "twisting political behavior" of "using bamboo to cut bamboo".
However, the magnitude of Hun Sen's "twisting political behavior" has been tremendously changed. In the past, he used guns and armforce; but now he is using governmental-official positions and national budget to lure his opponent and weaken/eliminate their party.
But the outcome of this "twisting political behavior", "carrot and stick", or "bamboo to cut bamboo" has absolutely instilled the fear and social disorder; and it is the main cause non-fair election and weakening the process of genuine democracy in Cambodia.

The court will listen to both sides and make the decision accordingly. There is no other way.
I think that royal government Hun Sen has to oblige every political party which presents candidates for the elections to present an accounting(accounts statement) audited by independents offices of audits authorized to work in Cambodia to avoid that the money which finances the political campaigns of the opposition party result from states as the USA which try to encourage the political subversion to knock down the governments Which are not convenient for their interests or which their are hostile.
From which comes the money which finance the political campaigns of the party sam rainsy and of Khem Sokha party?
Well, I am sure that the HRP is raising their Campaign money legitimately, but not the SRP. I just feel sad for the SRP supporters for wasting their hard earning money on such a stupid party who continue to deceive them with false hope and propaganda. I would preferred to see them used the money to help the poor directly, or to fund a new party such as HRP with new idea and all ..., but not with the old rusty and worn out party (SRP). It's stupid, and it doesn't make sense.
Alot of your guys (CPP supporters)posted that Moha Sicho Hun Sen has received PHDs from around the world. How the fuck the get those PHDs without know how to speak English. Do U guys know what you guys talking about? Don't ask me to join uneducated leaders.
How? by shoving your head up your arse, that is how.
8:59PM Don't try to avoid answer 6:15pm. I can tell that you CPP people often say some nonesense rather than answer the question. I will not vote for CPP.
Phnom Penh Resident
Well, if you are not going to vote for us (CPP), you ain't gonna get no answer, stupid (3:18).
ANYONE SUPPORT CPP ARE IDIOT! THE WHOLE WOLD KNOWS CPP "HUN SEN" KILL OUR PEOPLE AND SALE OUR COUNTRY.HUN SEN SPECIALIZE IN KILLING IT'S OWN POOR PEOPLE AND DESTROYING IT'S OWN NATION. IF CPP THINK THEY STRONG, ORDER THEIR MILITARY TO DROP THEIR WEAPON AND FACE WITH FAIR BARE HAND WITH THE TRUTH PATRIAOTICS CAMBODIANS. THERE WILL BE MILLIONS MORE THAN CPP. ANOTHER THING WITH THEIR MILITARY SYSTEM IS THAT THEY ONLY STRONG ENOUGH TO TERRORIZE OUR OWN POOR KHMER PEOPLE WITH NO WEAPON. THEY WON'T DARE TO FACE THAILAND. CPP "HUN SEN" ARE MAFFIA! THEY GOT THE POSITION BECAUSE THEY USED FORCES! OBVIOUSLY IN CAMBODIA, PHYSICAL BEATS BRAIN. THAT'S SAD!
I am a member of an opposition party in the National Assembly. I wonder why Sam Rainsy usually watch out only eastern border? By contrast himself and his owner party never raised about border dispute between Cambodia and western country? Not only this they have closely relationship with and strongly support Thai Yellow. We have never seen a small piece of letter or a word to condomn Thai Yellow whose ruling party has been established by Coup Detat, Abused International Convention and Cambodia Territory. If Sam Rainsy is nationalist, WHY HE DO LIKE THIS ? who SRP's supporter can clear ? I am waiting for your reply.
