The tragedy took place on Wednesday 02 July in the Kampong Speu province. According to Eng Kimy, an HRP candidate in this province, a 27-year-old HRP activist had his throat slit, while another activist was severely injured with a broken hand. Eng Kimy, who could not provide further details, declared that he will travel to the spot on Thursday 03 July.
Nevertheless, the HRP candidate said that the murder was political. “It’s a political threat. This murder is politically motivated,” he stressed. To date, the provincial police did not react yet.
On the morning of Wednesday 02 July, Comfrel provided a report on the progress of the first week of the election campaign for the general election. It noted that the number of incidents, through threats and intimidation, is lower in comparison to the same period in 2003, i.e. 16 cases for this year as compared to 26 in 2003. “The security condition the first election campaign week is better than in 2003, but the threats are only starting up …,” said Thun Saray, President of the Adhoc human rights defense.
The report is satisfactory, but it is now doubtful since the Kampong Speu case which still remains to be solved.

To all Cambodians:
Please don't vote for Ah Hun Sen if you do vote for this animal you will suffer forever.
Soon Hun Sen will seat in the KR tribunal pleading for his life.
The problem with the Cambodians is that they don't care for one another, they have the attitude of it's not my problem, don't care, it's useless to know/talk about politics, no matter what ah Hun Sen does you just give them a bit of money or sarongs they all forget about who killed their brothers/sisters or steal their land, the killers become the good guys. It's their psyche and they'll suffer till they become finally slave in their own land.
The possibilities for changes are there but they don't go for it, they choose to trust the corrupt leaders and go on begging and allow them to intimidate them again and again………how stupid…….if you don't help and sacrifice yourself for your children's children no one will do it for you.
Go on vote for ah kwak Hun Sen and enjoy miseries for life it's your choice. I just feel sorry for your ignorance.
Do you think YOUR vote will change anything in a country with Ex-khmer rouge who only care about their wealth, having sex with young virgins; fake Ph.d, and trotting around to other countries with full honors? These are a bunch of cowards who ran to Vietnam; these are the coward who betrayed Cambodia These are the cowards who sold their soul to the devils. Killing is too good, but your vote can bring voice to the corruptions.
Damned, now Ah Savage Infidel Scam Rainxy is targeting his rival.
Please arrest the monster before we have more mass grave in Cambodia.
you should be the first to get arrested.
Please stop Ah Savage Infidel Scam Rainxy from terrorizing others party's members to join them.
12:17pm you are a fool, do you really believe that real Cambodians would ever want to vote for the animal party the cpp? Are you part of those whom you claim that don't care for other Khmers? Because its useless to curse the ignorance of others, why not help them understand the situation that they are in and open their eyes, if Sam raingsy can do it, you can too.
You must be on the wrong planet, 2:01. Virtually everyone on this planet see Cambodia is moving in the right direction led by PM Hun Sen. Of course they would vote for more of that.
