SRP WILL NOT REPLACE MU SOCHUA
While pushing for the lifting of Mu Sochua’s parliamentary immunity, Prime Minister Hun Sen has been suggesting that she be replaced as a National Assembly member at the initiative of the opposition Sam Rainsy Party.
On behalf of the SRP, I can assure the Cambodian people and all Cambodia’s friends that Mu Sochua’s seat at the National Assembly will remain hers until the end of her legal term and that no replacement will be appointed.
Mu Sochua is the victim of an injustice. Hun Sen wants to eliminate her from Cambodia’s political landscape. It is a blatant abuse of power that is only possible with a subservient judiciary and a rubber-stamp parliament.
Replacing Mu Sochua would be like politically burying her alive and complying with Hun Sen’s insane desire.
When, in 2005, Cheam Channy, another SRP National Assembly member, was stripped of his parliamentary immunity and subsequently put in jail following a trumped-up criminal charge, there were also suggestions that he be replaced. But it was clear to us that replacing Cheam Channy would mean that we would accept the injustice done to him, let our colleague down, contribute to his political elimination and compound a personal tragedy. We proudly accepted to temporarily and practically lose a seat, a voice and a vote at the National Assembly.
We were right to stick to our principles. In 2006, Cheam Channy was released from prison, his immunity restored, and he recovered his seat at the National Assembly.
We are confident that adopting a similar position in the case of Mu Socha now is the right thing to do.
The same observations apply to the case of countless SRP-affiliated elected commune councilors, including commune chiefs, who have been arrested and sent to jail for politically-motivated charges. For instance, Mu Sochua’s case cannot be dissociated from the case of Tuot Saron, the SRP-affiliated elected chief of Pong Ro commune in Kampong Thom province’s Barai district. Tuot Saron is currently and unjustly in jail. But he will not be replaced. We will do all we can to help free him and to re-install him as commune chief as we are fighting to render justice to Mu Sochua.

Hun Sen is the guy who messed thngs up. He's clarly at fault, and that he should be replaced not Ms. Mu Sochua.
Hun Sen should step down, he is a ganster. Kangaroo you should advise your man to step down. Let the next generation lead Cambodia. I am sure that they can do better job than Hun Sen. Hun Sen is a ganster !!! Step Down !!!
I am, Khmer but, I not really understand Khmer of political .
What was going on inside of Khmer
is politic ?
Siamese they are aggression to invade
our homeland and very body whom was
want improve his or her power are fighting to each other .
What could I will do ?
Whom was I belief to ?
Our PM Hun Sen begs for money from the outside world and we give the money to those rich people to legally buy off Khmer land anywhere we can to pay back our master YUON for saving us and merge to become the Federation of Indochina in addition to our policy of grabbing the land from Khmer people. This is part of the plan for the federation of Indochina if you fools don't have enough intelligence to understand it. This is a new and improved Viet-Cambodia with YUON-Khmer population not Khmer any longer. Khmer's gone, done, finished.
Bravo our PM Yuon-Khmer Hun Sen!
PPU
That was your good plan to lead the
Khmer nation ?
Any thing good than this ?
Stop this nonsense issues at once .
Cambodia had a better things to do than trashes each others. We are all Cambodians.
PM Hun Sen should be a strong man and come out and say the matters between Ms Mu and me are not that important, let's both drop the issues and move on with other important national issues. Let's focus on the economy and the Thai's annoying claim to Preah Vihear.
Phay Si Phoan{phan} his voice is gay...big mouth..dickkissin.,,should remove him from the gov. post.
Hi real name Phay Si Pheh.
he's a bankrupt man from Long Beach.
hey, don't be too quick to point out injustice or whatever; if the law maker violated the law, they too can be removed by law. no one is allowed to break the law any time they want without some sort of repercussion, you know.
One eyed bandit.
for once, can we all make everybody happy! life's too short, enjoy it while we are all alive; no body can live forever, you know! well, a nation can live forever. let's help make cambodia the best in the world. god bless cambodia.
Bravo SRP!!!Bravo Mrs.Mu Sokhou!!!!
9:43am, you are right.No one is allowed to break the laws, including Mr. Hun Sen. He had insulted and defamed Mrs. Mu Sochua, so he must be removed from parliament. His immunity should be lifted, not Mrs. Mu Sochua's.
no one is above the law in cambodia .. except Hun Sen and his colleagues .
HUN SEN, YOU ARE IDIOT. IF MU SOCHUA IMMUNITY IS REMOVED, YOUR DEAD DAY IS COMING SOONER THAN YOU THINK.
Mu Sochua is an iron lady and Vietnam is worried. First she is a strong Lady. Hun Sen is not a civilized person but a street gang and he pushes the laws to fit his gang laws.
We are very prouded ith Madame Mu Sochua for her fight for justice to all injustice.
