Phnom Penh municipal court speeds up lawsuit against Sam Rainsy [-Another travesty of justice in the work]

Hor Nam Hong (L) and Sam Rainsy (R)

At the return of opposition leader Sam Rainsy to Phnom Penh on 29 April, he will be greeted by the speedup of the work by the Phnom Penh municipal court regarding the lawsuit brought up by Hor Nam Hong against him for diffusing false information and defamation.

A source from the Phnom Penh municipal court indicated that, at the beginning of May, the tribunal will summon Ka Savuth, Hor Nam Hong’s defense lawyer, and maybe on that same month, Sam Rainsy will also be called in for questioning by the court. A reliable source indicated that on 28 April, the Phnom Penh municipal court judge issued a summon for Hor Nam Hong’s lawyer to show up at the court on 05 May 2008 to defend his case against Sam Rainsy.

Ka Savuth sent a lawsuit to the Phnom Penh municipal court on 22 April 2008, suing Sam Rainsy for defamation and diffusion of the false information. Ka Savuth included with his lawsuit an article published by the Moneaksekar Khmer newspaper titled: “Sam Rainsy: Former Pol Pot’s advisor and secretary who was the Boeng Trabek jail chief is holding the title of senior minister and vice-prime minister”. The article was published on 18 April 2008 and it was the source of Hor Nam Hong’s lawsuit.

After receiving Hor Nam Hong’s lawsuit, Uk Savuth, the prosecutor of the Phnom Penh municipal court, forwarded it to Ek Chheng Huot, the deputy prosecutor to take measure according to the law. With this lawsuit, Ek Chheng Huot summoned Ka Savuth to come and defend his case, next, the court will summon Sam Rainsy to come to the court to answer questions also.

Mrs. Mu Sochua, SRP Deputy Secretary-general, provided Sam Rainsy’s standing, as well as that of the SRP, saying that this lawsuit involves the Khmer Rouge (regime). Because the Cambodian court has no expertise on the KR matter, that was why the KR Tribunal was formed, therefore, the latter tribunal should resolve this lawsuit. She said also that the SRP’s standing is that Sam Rainsy did not name anybody, it was the individual (Hor Nam Hong) who took it upon himself to accept Sam Rainsy’s statement. On the other hand, Sam Rainsy asks the KR Tribunal to help find justice for him, however, he did not ask this from the Cambodia tribunal.

Regarding the question as to whether Sam Rainsy will show up in court or not if he will be summoned, Mrs. Mu Sochua said that when there will be an official summon, Sam Rainsy never backs out.

It should be noted that if the court finds Sam Rainsy guilty as accused, he could face jail sentence between 6 months to 3 years, and he could be fined between 1 million riels ($250) to 10 million riels ($2,500), or he could receive either one of the sentence described above, based on Article 62 of the UNTAC-era criminal code about diffusing false information.

Gentleman

Majority of cambodians know who are the KRs, the question is how much crimes those had committed.
ECCC is to prove who committed atrocity.

Time will tell.

Yeah, but Sam Rainsy still have to prove his case in the Khmer court. He can used the ECCC as expert witness if he like, but if he failed, he'll be in Prey Sor for a 3 years.

Hor Nam Hong is no less guilty than Khiev Samphan, Ieng Sary, and other KR leaders. He must be punished for crimes he committed.

Going to trial or not is not the matter, the matter is justice system in Cambodia. It got HUN SEN's finger print all over...

Maybe that will save Rainsy.

If Mr. Sam Rainsy didn't even mention anybody by name and how he can AH HOR NAM HONG claimed that what Mr. Sam Rainsy is talking about is him! It is a fact that the whole CPP clan is former Khmer Rouge killer including AH HUN SEN, AH KEAT CHHOUN and him!

So the logic is how can AH HUN SEN court calls upon Mr. Sam Rainsy to face what charge and against whom that has no name!

If Mr. Sam Rainsy called some fool by name then it is with in the right of AH HUN SEN court to call upon him to face charge base on the name of the accuser otherwise AH HUN SEN court better fuck off!

Fucken jungle law! AH HUN SEN court needs to call my dog and cat because they don't have a name!

The law didn't required explicit name. At any rate, if he (Ah Xam Rainxy) didn't mention any name, it means he accused everyone. Therefore, anyone can suit him, including Hor Nam Hong.

Hey, Comrade Yaem,
If you keep pursuing Sam Rainsy to endup in Cambodia court, then you might endup yourselve at Hybrid Court.

Talk and compromise.

Hey, my mum isn't as rich as Hor Nam Hong is. Otherwise, she would have filed a complain even before Hor Nam Hong did, 12:58. You need money for good lawyer to win your case. We thank God for good people like Hor Nam Hong to do it on our behalf, and we'll all stand behind him all the way. Get the picture?

Impossible, 9:07, there is no way for Hor Nam Hong to end up in hybrid court by suiting Ah Xam Rainxy for defamation.

Anonymous said...

Now that is so fair! Since Cambodia has KR Tribunal already and why not take on AH HOR NAM HONG lawsuit because after all it is dealing with the KR issue!

More twist and turn to come!
