Opposition leader Sam Rainsy declared on the 12th anniversary of the memorial for the victims of the 30 March 1997 grenade attack perpetrated in front of the National Assembly, that only 12 victims were identified among the 16 victims who died and more than 100 others who were injured from this attack. Sam Rainsy indicated that 12 years has passed, but the assassins and their backers are not found yet, this is a very long wait for justice by the patient family of the victims. At the same time, Sam Rainsy also demanded that the government investigates into this crime in order to reveal the assassins and their backers, and bring these criminals to face justice for the victims’ sake.

When the US Embassy in Phnom Penh was being built, the DOJ closed the case feared of tarnishing the relations between the two countries.

Have Mr. Rainsy put in request to have Mr. Mueller reopened the case if it does strain the relations between Cambodia and US.

I think Mr Sam Ransy must fight for his recognition to be the third statemen in Cambodia after the King, The Prime Minister and him. He shouldn't allow anyone to bully him again if he wants to lead the Nation. Other people will see him as a very solf and very weak leader. His election to be the opposition leader has costed the Nation US$ 26 millions dollars and has involed people for the whole Nation plus international observers. If these election is to make him as weak as a normal person, he will not be suitable for a leader. He is far more important than chairman of the National asembly and Chairman of the senate. He needs to address the crime by himself and call the investigation. He has his mandate to call army and police to investigate and arrest the culprit. In Cambodia beside the Prime Minister, only opposition is the Boss. Areak Prey

Under current Judicial system and current regim, majority of cambodian people cannot get justice, even Mr. sam rainsy himself cannot find justice for the victims of grenade attack.
