Mrs. Mu Sochua, SRP deputy Secretary-general and MP for Kampot province, told reporters in front of the Phnom Penh municipal court on 03 June that if the court bring her to trial, she also asks that the court brings the prime minister to trial also in order to show the court transparency.
Mrs. Mu Sochua made this statement after Sok Roeun, the deputy prosecutor of the Phnom Penh municipal court, questioned her and her defense lawyer for more than 3 hours regarding the lawsuit brought up by Ky Tech, Hun Sen’s defense lawyer, accusing Mu Sochua of defamation.
Mrs. Mu Sochua asked that the prime minister come to face the court just like her.
“The law does not have any special stipulation regarding the trial for a MP, or a simple citizen, or a prime minister. I am saying that, if we are responsible, as the prime minister used to say that he brave, then he should come [to the court] with me!” Mu Sochua said.
Mrs. Mu Sochua also indicated that she had no concern about the lifting of her immunity, but she asked that the deputy prosecutor provides justice according to the law. “I ask Mr. Kong Sam Onn to remain as my defense lawyer. If Mr. Kong Sam Onn is no longer my lawyer, I cannot find another lawyer!” she said.
On 03 June, RFA was unable to reach Ky Tech, Hun Sen’s lawyer, to obtain his comment on this issue.
On his end, Sok Roeun, the deputy prosecutor, declined to comment about this affair, claiming that he is busy, however, he indicated that Mrs. Mu Sochua did clarify all his questions already.
Mu Sochua sued prime minister Hun Sen at the Phnom Penh municipal court on 27 May. She accused him of defamation and asked 500 riels ($0.13) in damage compensation after Hun Sen discussed openly in Kampot in May about a “Cheung Khlang” (strong leg, or thug) woman who likes to create trouble, Hun Sen claimed that this woman went to hug someone and then accused that person of unbuttoning her blouse.
After Mu Sochua sued him, Ky Tech, Hun Sen’s government lawyer, countersued Mu Sochua, asking for 10 million riels ($2,500) in compensation. In addition, Ky Tech also sued Mu Sochua’s defense lawyer and he asked the Cambodian Bar Association (CBA) to kick the latter out of the CBA. Ky Tech accused Kong Sam Onn of defending a politician and he participated in a press conference with a politician. Ky Tech claimed that Kong Sam Onn’s actions violate the CBA regulation.
Kong Sam Onn said that, regarding Ky Tech’s complaint against him to the CBA, there was no issue in there that indicates he violated the CBA professional code of ethics. Kong Sam Onn added: “There is no summon nor invitation sent to the accused [Hun Sen] implicated in the lawsuit I brought up [on behalf of Mu Sochua] to come and clarify the prosecutor. However, in the lawsuit brought by lawyer Ky Tech [on behalf of Hun Sen] against me and H.E. Mu Sochua, we already provided our clarifications.”
Mu Sochua indicated also that, up to now, there is no charge brought up against her by the court yet, it only asked her to come in to provide clarifications.

You not happy because she have reveal the thrue to the world see it's. Shame on youm, if you are Kaun Khmer and not slave Youn like Hun Sen then you should realy

This is the first time Khmer woman stand up for their Right.
Kaun Khmer in Blood
Hun Sen thought he's the "law".
"Anh"
"Anh"
"Anh"
Ky Tech is sucking hun sen's dicks. period
it doesnt matter who bring the case to the court , if the court is independent the court can throw away that case but the court is bias as always . only a few stupid people from CPP don't think that thr court is bias .
This hwy you must the educated people to lead the country.
While he is dis able (blind) and ignorant there will not be much that you expecting,especially khmer rouge(hun sen it self)
While talking of khmer rouge I think why Soramarith gave Sihaknuk a live?
9:05why you must have
eh
Dear all commentators and khmer-blood people,
I have a hornor to inform you that I am so fed up with you guy with the word " Youn...Youn...Youn" that you say evryday. This mean you try to promote such word into khmer-blood memory/brain from day to day, nothing else beside that word. I would suggest that if your dislike or critisize Mr. Hun Sen on his performant, management, attitude, or ideas, you better give better solution, strategy, policies or concrete idea how to make Cambodia progress rather than word Youn..even though Sam Dach Hun Sen not consider your's idea, but somehome through those ideas khmer-people can learn from you with those solutions or strategies and from day to day they start to build up their thinking how to make Cambodia more progress rather than the word" Youn " .. finally if you still love khmer, pls kindly dont let the word "Youn" in haunting khmer's memory any more.... or You so love with Youn or just word Youn or you just know that word for your whole life... I am sure you have lot of good experience or stategies to share with khmer people for develop country.
Best Regards
Khmer
Here, we talk about a country where all laws are in one man. Everyone else tried to be naived and tried to earn illegal moneys. When there is a problem, everyone tried to be stupid and ignorance. Only one person who knew all the laws. Areak Prey
9:05 AM,
Soramarith was not Sihanouk real father.
Sihanouk's biological father was A VIET SECRETARY OF FRENCH RESIDENT IN PHNOM PENH. Sihanouk's mother had an affair with that Viet secretary, said a former chang vang kanthor during king Monivong.
When peole believe, see, hear and withness that Hun Sen has done so many things to please YOUN, then it's appropiate to call him YOUN.
So it's up to the people to criticize their leader. However, it's inappropriate for a leader to criticize his people.
8:00 am,
Are you critisizing 7:40AM? Please read again.
Most people commenting on this site are dumb or uneducated or English practictioners, of course including me. They need the 'nevigative word' from KI Media team, otherwise they couldn't make their own judgements right.
This is a good site for allowing people to debate of even to show the dark site of Khmer culture.
However, I have recently found that the comments on this sites were less valuable than they are used to be. Dr Lao Mong Hay has disappeared from here. More dirty words were put on the site and responded by the dirty comments from the corresponding audiances.
The site seems losing its propoganda initiative. I would think this due mainly to its unprofessional citation (putting its own words by assuming that readers are disable in analysis)
I find myself like Phnom Penh Post better now.
What is your view?
I totally agree with you. You said it all. KI need to fix this problem soon or will lose intregrity. Maybe already did.
my view is, you can leave this site at any time it pleases you! If you like PPPost, go there, you got your freedom... why whine like a cry baby?
To 11,17am
I should add that I like PPP better in term of its news, and like KI Media better in term of its dirty debates. So I like to visit both with holding different purposes.
two women (Mu and Rodley) showing they got more (proverbial) "balls" than the bullies!!! see the angry reaction?
8:02 AM
Fuck you!
Please STOP sucking Ah Scum Rainsy's family jewel.
Pi Anh: PPU
Come on, let's not get too excited over this.

HS: Aeng kom choh chea muiy anh!
Sihank: L'etat c'est moi!
Same egos

By any measure this is the wrong time for you to show you L'Etat c'est Moi side, while everyone here are too excited against the backdrop of this crazy lady.
Pi Anh: PPU
Dear 9.40AM,
According to Professor Keng Vansak and some chinese in Cambodia, Sihanouk father was a chinese man. Soramarith cannot have children. Therefore, Vachana and sirivuth were also not Soramarith'childen. They were faked.
em, it is strang. But sirivuth's face looks very close to sihanouk.
anyways, why they need to make this up? what is the main reason?
12;11pm,
The main reason this fucking Viet agent 9:40 AM, fells itching in his or her azz. May be he or she needs real bad a big stick to push into it.
How if 9;40am's azz is all bamboo?

Your puzzy is full of bamboo you cannot get up to open the real history book rather fabricating and falsefying the history.
Ah Scum Rainsy will ask someone to kill Mi Mu Sochua and push the blame to Hun Sen. Trust me, it will happen soon because Ah Scum Rainsy is such a cheap bastard.
Uncle! are you serious? human life must not be cursed like that te...
I think even though sb might dislike the Primeir but they should respect him as well because he is our PM. We may support him when he do a good work and help correct him when he may be not doing the good work.
I notice that PM have been doing a lot of good works for our country.
We should give him credits for his good works as well. not every time curse him criticize him.
PM is derserved to be praised for his good works.
PM, i think everyone in Cambodia will admire and praise you if you forgive Ms. Chou. She's just a helpless lady, pls let her go free.
:D
