SRP MP Ho Vann was elated that his charge was dropped but he also called for a drop of the sentence handed down to The Cambodia Daily reporters.
Ho Vann said: “I just received the information about the sentence handed down by the Phnom Penh municipal court in my case while I am outside of the country. I am very happy and I am also adding that I did not apologize, I am asking for The Cambodia Daily to print a correction, as the court understood in its debate, and it provided a fair verdict. However, I am calling for the court to arrange so that the sentence against Mr. Kevin Doyle and Mrs. Neou Vannarin be dropped also, because they brought corrections to their news.”
Ho Vann also indicated that after receiving this verdict, he will now return back to Cambodia.

Ho Vann need 2/3 of 126 parliamentarians to restitute his immunuty;therefore, in the parliament, there were 24 SRP, 3 representatives from Kem Sokha's Party, so there are only 27 parliamentarians whom will support the vote. As result, he should wait until next election on july 21, 2013 to lose again.

There is no doubt that whenever the Court found not guilty or dropped the charge against any SRP MP, the SRP will applause to the Court's verdict, but if the same Court found guilty of any SRP MP, the SRP will condemn to the Court. That is the pattern of SRP, the party always been a loser.

journalism has to be ethical in their conduct as well, you know! or it will get them in trouble with the local customs and etiquette, if not the local law, etc...
never forget the code of ethics in any profession, ok! just because you are in cambodia doesn't mean you can get away with unethical conduct in your profession! that's all!
