At a press conference held on Thursday April 23 at the headquarters of her formation, the Sam Rainsy Party (SRP) in Phnom Penh, opposition MP Mu Sochua announced she would file a complaint with the Phnom Penh Municipal Court via her lawyer. This lawsuit is filed against Cambodian prime Minister Hun Sen, for defamation.
The SRP representative intends to protest against words the head of government said about her, on April 4th, as she was away in the Kampot province where she was re-elected. Hun Sen is said to have publicly declared that Mu Sochua’s behaviour was “provocative” and that she “lunged towards a man to kiss him, so much so that the buttons [of her blouse] popped out”.
“I have nothing against Samdech the Prime Minister. As a Member of Parliament, I respect him. But the words of Samdech the Prime Minister said in public affect my honour and my dignity as a Khmer woman. With this complaint, I only want justice and honour, as a Khmer woman”, the former FUNCINPEC-affiliated Minister of Women’s Affairs said. She added that she only claimed a 500-riel (0.12 dollar) compensation as a token, and a public apology on the part of the head of government.
According to Kong Sam Onn, Mu Sochua’s lawyer, the lawsuit will be submitted to the Phnom Penh Municipal Court on Friday April 24th. “How is it possible to file a lawsuit against him [Hun Sen] when he is a Member of Parliament, the prime Minister and the vice-chair of the Cambodian People’s Party (CPP) [...]? The Constitution does say that Khmer citizens stand equal before the Law”, the lawyer said, hoping that his request would be accepted by the Court.
Reached on Thursday by Ka-set, the spokesperson for the government and for the ruling party Khieu Kanharith(CPP) claimed that as he was himself with the prime Minister when the latter pronounced his speech in Kampot, he could assure that he did not pronounce her name. “We are awaiting her complaint. But Samdech [Hun Sen] did not say her name”, the government spokesman and Minister of Information added. “What she [Mu Sochua] is doing here is reacting for her own reputation”.
The prime Minister, indeed, did not directly pronounce the name of the opposition MP, but her lawyer say he added elements of evidence to the case file showing that the prime Minister did indeed have those words in Kampot and that his declaration directly aimed at his client.
In his speech, Hun Sen was making an allusion to a case pitting the SRP MP against a military general in Kampot. He was condemned by the National Election Committee (NEC) to pay out a 10-million riel fine to Mu Sochua) for having attacked her and torn her blouse as she was trying to prevent him from using a car of the Royal Cambodian Armed Forces (RCAF) to crusade in favour of the CPP as part of the July 2008 legislative elections.

let sue dr. pagoda school kid with a Phd dropped out. If we can't get anything from him at least we make him mad... who knows he might be shooting the wall or kick his wife ass out to find the hidden men.
Learn your lesson from now on Mr HUN.You get caught this time ,and you will not get away with it.You did look down on Mrs MU SOCHUA.You can ridicule men of the opposition but you can't do to woman ,it make you look rude and impolite.Just say sorry and make public apology to her that's all she asked for.Next time think twice before you open your mouth to attack women.

This event was true about MP Mu Sochea during her last campaign in Kampot Province, there is no secret, people acknowledge, then theirs can express opinions. The only raison, she filed a lawsuit now that to make people believe, she was Cambodian womann hero, but if she loss the case her reputation will be severely damage.

why the heck she only asked for 500rield as compensation? to buy an icecream? so that she can learn how to lick before giving her barang husband a real blowjob?
Mu Sochua should just shup the fuck. Somebody smack her and put her back in her place and say "bitch! you are a woman. this is a man's world. get back to ironing and cleaning."
This just shows that a woman can't be doing politics. Its a man's job. This bitch has the bad case of PMS! Somebody PLEASE slap her and put her back in her place! Bitch needs to learn that her role in life is to cook, clean, suck dick, fuck when her husband needs, and suck some more dick when he is is done to clean him up. Leave politics to the men.
The few above comments are so arrogant to Mrs. Sochua. Your speech is not different from arrogant Hun Sen. You have always looked down Khmer women. You have learned nothing from new technology and changes of the world that why you are CPP's members are succumbing to seek power from Vietnam. Stop your shit mouth. Use your Khmer brain and Khmer heart, don't be always using Vietnamese big-brother as your gut.
I can assure you New Phally if you want Cambodia to be a country ruled by the law, Madam Sochua's lawsuit is the best tool. Hun Sen himself has to appreciate with this effort.
New Phally you should not see Madam Sochua's lawsuit in opposite way...use your brain!

That's how cheap ah Hun is -- 500 Riels. Nice going Mu, Bravo!
Good job Mrs Mu. I know it's dangerous to try to defame this DICTATOR, Pro-Vietnamese, gangster type of governing the country, and always using fear to make people shot up and do, say what he wants and killed so many people since his ruling... I don't need to say more even his wife had abuse of power, ordered of the killing of Piseth Pilika ...Etc. Check it out here ...http://www.cambodiapolitic.org/
Do you think this is the Khmer lovers?...
Mr Khmer Young,
A few Khmer there and a nother few Khmer there, would use the same languages. How could the other few stop being arrogant if the other few still being ignorant?
The more educated few are the more arrogant and ignorant they become. Who is better than who?

That's funny, do you use that dirty mouth with your parents too? why don't you say that to your parents so that they will smack your ass back to Cambodia if not to the grave. No wonder Cambodia is oppress, ignorance like you live in the world. You must be part of the Vietnamese Regime, (ignorance who receives PHDs without going to school). I may be young, but my wisdom well exceeds your understanding that the world should be full of love and compassion. Your bigot ass will get what you deserve, because karma's a bitch!

I laugh at your attempt at insulting my intelligence.. I actually have done school time, having a b.a in journalism from the royal uni. PP and an m.b accounting from a top college in US, university of s. california through fulbright scholarship.
"I may be young, but my wisdom well exceeds your understanding that the world should be full of love and compassion"
open you eyes, not just your mouth. the real world, ever since the big bang, has been a dog eat dog world. only the fittest survive. that should go for politics also.
what i was saying in my earlier post was that if Mu Sochua (and women in general) wants to be treated fair, claiming equality and all thir bullshit in politics, she should expect the same treatment and treated like equal. since when do you hear any male politicians complaining about defamation because of a few words about a loose button on his shirt?
want equality, expect equal treatment. what mu sochua is suing for is special treatment for her because she is a women. please... if you can't handle being treated and talked to equally as men, go back to cooking and sucking cock.
feel free to contact me at +855 81 800 700.
would love to hear the cries from this one...

What is your full bright scholarship can enable you to get out from animal kingdom. Your word is animal word.
You cannot distinguish the different between male and female.
3:40am, are you transgenders?
hey 12:08 Ah Lop.
Have you even read what i wrote or just skimmed it and came to the conclusion that i am a trans gender because you was sucking dick when you wrote it. Animal words? We are all animals my friend.
I bet you i have seen more pussy than the grain of rice in your bowl.. but to get back to my point, we shouldn't distinguish between male and female in politics. what is the point of equality if females get a different treatment than male? Stop being so ignorant and dumb, READ!

Male Hun Sen looked down at female of Madam Sochua is unacceptable...
