The Constitutional Council of Cambodia (CCC) on Monday upheld the National Election Committee (NEC)’s decision to fine Sam Rainsy 10 million riel (US$2,500) for jibes he made against the Cambodian People’s Party (CPP) during the election campaign.
The fine was initiated by the Kompong Cham provincial election committee after a speech Sam Rainsy made in the province referenced the controversial Global Witness report “Cambodia’s Family Trees.”
The report alleges that the members of the nation’s leadership are implicated in illegal logging.
The complaint was filed against Sam Rainsy by Benson Samay and Kea Eav, who are lawyers for the CPP. Both lawyers disagreed with the CCC decision, claiming that the fine was too small, and asked that the NEC scrap Sam Rainsy’s name from the nation’s list of political candidates.
Yim Sovann, a lawmaker for the Sam Rainsy Party, said he was not surprised by the decision, claiming that the nation’s institutions “claiming to be democratic are in fact all governed by the CPP.”

Everyone knows that the global witness report is true even the US government adopts a bill to ban those named in the report from entry into US.
My beloved Khmers!
This is still frightfully reminded me of Pol Pot's era,
"Even the wall has ears!"
This man will never realize how destructive he's been doing for the nation with his BOASTFUL, SELF-FLATTENED AND ACCEPT-NO CRITICIZM ATTITUDE.
MAY GOD BLESS HIM AND CLIQUES TO RELEASE THE NATION AND BRAINWASH HIS BRAIN WITH THE PEOPLE-INTEREST ADDICTION, BUT NOT SO-CALLED SELF-CLAIMED GOD OR DICTATORSHIP'S PRIDE OVER HIS OWN PEOPLE!!!!
MAY GOD PAVE HIS SIGHTS IN LEADERSHIP FOR THE PEOPLE AND ENABLE HIM TO SEE THE SUFFERINGS AND HARDSHIPS THE PEOPLE ARE FACING AND HOW THEY WISH TO NOT ONLY SURVIVE HAND-TO-MOUTH OR THE ON BASIS OF DAILY SURVIVAL, BUT COMFORT AND GLORY FOR THEIR GENERATIONS AND OFF-SPRINGS TO COME LIKE HUN'S AND HIS CLIQUE'S !!!!!!!
MAY THE SPIRITS OF OUR HEROES IN KHMER HISTORY OFFER BLESSINGS AND REMEDIES FOR THE CURRENT LEADERS!!

Last month,Ly Thuch, CPP member(former Funcinpec) was fined USD 1250. May be he thought that CCC is governed by SRP. Thus, where is the fact. Every people should responsible own activities.
