PHNOM PENH, July 9 (Xinhua) -- Sam Rainsy, president of the eponymous opposition party, here Wednesday found no staff members at the local court to receive his evidence over the defamation charges filed against him by Cambodian foreign minister Hor Namhong.
Rainsy went voluntarily to the court to submit documents in his defense, but no prosecutors showed up to receive them.
"The prosecutors all fled. They are scared by Sam Rainsy," he told reporters as left the court.
Court officials could not be reached for comments immediately.
Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation Hor Namhong filed a defamation lawsuit in April at Phnom Penh Municipal Court against Sam Rainsy over his remarks alleging that the minister was a former member of the Democratic Kampuchea (DK).
Hor Namhong has long said that he and his family were prisoners at a DK camp, and has successfully sued people in the past for claiming that he had links to the regime that is widely held responsible for the death of over 1.7 million people during the 1970s.
Rainsy is now leading his party as the main opposition force to campaign for the general elections on July 27.
Altogether 11 parties are participating in the election. The current ruling Cambodian People's Party is widely expected to score landslide victory.

They are scared of Rainsy, but of Hor Nam Hong, the CPP man.
They're instructed not to talk to Rainsy, not scared. Rainsy cannot jail or kill them, but Hor Nam Hong the CPP yes.

Ever hurd about the masenger get kill?
Hun Sen CPP are the Vietnamese's puppet, and from seeing Xinhua, Rainsy can be a possible candidate of China's puppet.
Vote for CPP is a vote for the Mafia and the insurgents; and vote for Rainsy, China and US will have to put up more fucking shit with him. Because the insurgents will operate with impunity under his nose from eastern of Cambodia. Would Rainsy keep his head down or he is going to cry out loud or will do something so stupid?
Rainsy has a reputaion of dodging from Hun Sen, the crack smoker.
Rannaridh a shamless womanizer, with a PhD of orgasm is politican no more.
The rest of little parties in Cambodia are just taking away the votes from Rainsy.
It is Gag Time and why don't these small parties get out their puke pots?
Kem Sokha is a fool and he fits well into the plans of the CPP the left.
The CPP just used Preah Vihear to get votes while aligning themselves with Puke Vietnamese.
Do they want to lead their country of righteous Buddhism, then lead, follow or get the hell out of the way.
Don't you dirty Khmers puke on the sacred temple.

Maxwell,
Sam Rainsy have every rights to abandoned his post when an oppositions threatened to harm him. With Hun Sen unlimited power..... you have no choice. SR knows what HS is capable of! That is a smart and calculated move on his behalf. It's safety issue! How many times does HS failed an attempt to assassinate SR? I'm sure his supporters as well as myself would understand his desertions.
Ah stupid Scam Rainxy forgot to make appointment, hahaha, LOL, hahaha..., Dumb shit!
Judges in Cambodia love taking bribes and most of them are affiliated with the CPP.
Stupid man-Hor VietNamhong!
Somebody needs to assassinate some of these CPP guys. Seriously, is it that hard?
