Human Rights Party President Pen Sovann rejected a report saying that he plans to join the Cambodian People's Party and reaffirmed on Tuesday that he did not tell a journalist he would do such a thing. He said he has never thought of reuniting with the CPP because he was jailed in Vietnam by Prime Minister Hun Sen for opposing Vietnam's activities in Cambodia.

I has honestly respected Mr. Pen Sovann for his bravery against Vietnamization during the 80's.

However, after so long in prison in Yuon and cruel torture by Yuon, he is not a normal man anymore.

He should be retired!

Yes,he is a politician with no trick but trait.He is a last victim of the vietnamization of Cambodia.He campaigned hard with HRP in the last election.He should win at Kg Speu but cpp campaign very hard against Pen Savann to block his chance.At this time he is kind of old man and disabled.He is absolutly broken.If someone have a sympathy with him please donate sone money to him through HRP Cambodia.I am very appreciated very much on behalf of him.

If PEN SOVANN had been jailed by Vietnamese in Vietnam and the same thing with SIHANOUK was in house of arrest, there would be no PEN SOVANN and SIHANOUK could open their mouths to tell the world how cruelt the Vietnamese and KHMER ROUGE were and I strongly believe it was a politics and again if they were both in jails there would be none of SIHANOUK and PEN SOVANN alive.

He is one of the true brave Khmer heroes who have wanted to free Cambodia from Yuon in the 80s but his plan failed due to disloyalty group in the party. He wants to revise his reputation and leadership for Cambodia again. That is not too late if people give him a chance. But I see this is going to be hard for him to do since the CPP influential has deep rooted in the general public nowadays. Anyway, we wish you fortune and achievement in your course toward harmony and guide Cambodia in the future as long as you live.

my view is that Mr. Pen Sovann should re-join the CPP and take the premiership from ah Sen.....he still has support in the CPP....that's why ah sen refused to let him join in the first place because ah Sen afraids of him. It would be much better if Pen Sovann can take ah Sen's place. Pen Sovann has support.....youn and ah sen will do anything to stop him from getting to the top job.....i want to see him up there......

Dear Khmers,

Another Statesman after Pen Sovann was CHAN SY, a former Prime Minister who also opposed the Vietnamization.

CHAN SY took the office as Prime Minister of Cambodia after Pen Sovann was jailed.

In 1984 or 1985?? CHAN SY died while stopping over in Hanoi en route to Eastern European countries for a official tour.

Yuons said he died of liver complaints, BUT in fact he was killed by Yuons. CHAN SY was against Vietnam in many aspects, BUT the last one before he was assassinated was the A-5 Mission in Which Yuond wanted to massacre Khmers by sending Khmers to walk on minefields at the borders.

We should pay respect to CHAN SY.
