Sam Rainsy Party lawmaker Mu Sochua, who is on a mission to the US, appealed to Cambodians here to provide stronger support to the struggle for freedom and human rights in their home country.
“Compatriots in the US, please continue your work by meeting with your congressmen and senators in all states,” Mu Sochua told a group of some 60 participants gathered Thursday in Arlington, Va., a suburb of the capital.
“We now go to the hot battlefield [in Cambodia], and back here the battlefield is also hot, but please go on,” she said, following her testimony at a congressional hearing on human rights the same day.
The Virginia gathering was part of an effort to update Cambodian-Americans about the human rights situation in Cambodia, which has deteriorated in recent months following apparent government attacks on its critics.
“I, as a Cambodian American, will make an appeal to and work with different organizations, associations and Cambodian community that I know,” Kuch Chanly, a participant from Maryland, told VOA Khmer after the gathering. “I have been traveling throughout the US, France, Australia, Canada and Germany, so I will follow and protect any Cambodian hero who dares stand up to protect democracy in Cambodia, so that they have support for the work.”
Mu Sochua was stripped off her parliament immunity in a defamation case brought against her by Prime Minister Hun Sen and was ultimately fined more than $4,000 by the courts.
She joined other rights advocates from Cambodia in a rare hearing by the Tom Lantos Human Rights Commission in Washington Thursday.
“I represent a community that has the second-largest Cambodian population in this country, the city of Lowell, Mass.,” Niki Tsongas, a Democrat from Massachusetts, told the congressional hearing. “What happens in Cambodia is very, very important to so many of my constituents, because they remain quite concerned for their loved ones that have remained there.”
Mu Sochua is due next to meet with the Cambodian communities in Long Beach and Stockton, Calif.

wanna vomit that SRP attached own self at morale...
She is playing her important role to promote freedom of speeches and democracy system. This role should be supported by all citizen around the world to change human living standard and human value. Cambodian human right and freedom have been destroyed by a few evils in the last 30 years in which Cambodia had been looked down by other nationalities.

ខ្ញុំមិននិយាយភាគច្រើនទេគឺមានប្រជនខ្មែរមួយ
ចំនួនបើរាជរដ្ធាភិបាលខ្មែរដួចគ្នានិយាយប្រាប់
មិនដែលយកចិត្តទុកដាក់ទេក៏ប៉ុន្តែបើមានសាស្ត្រ
ដទៃនិយាយស្តាប់បង្គាប់គេភ្លាមទោះជាអ្នកនោះ
និយាយខុសក៏ថាគេនិយាយត្រូវដែរនឹងនិយាយអំ
ពីប្រជនខ្មែរមួយចំនួន។បើនិយាយអំពីអ្នកមើលការ
ខុសត្រូវក្រោមប្រមុខរាជរដ្ធាភិបាលវិញគឺមួយចំ
នួនតួចមិនដែលយកចិត្តទុកដាក់ដល់ប្រជាជនទេគឺ
រាប់ទាំងបក្សប្រឆាំងផងដែរពួកគេខំរកមធ្យោបាយ
យ៉ាងណាឲ្យប្រទេសចរលាចល់ពាស់ពេញប្រទេស
ហើយមានលេសថាប្រមុខរាជរដ្ធាភិបាលនៅក្នុង
បច្ចុប្បន្នគ្មាននិតិវិធីធ្វើឲ្យប្រទេសជាតិមានប្រជា
ប្បតេយ្យទេនឹងអាចគេងប្រវាញ់នៅនយោបាយ។
រឿងទាំងនេះមិនខុសអំពីរបបលន់នលទេគឺបក្សម្ខាងដែលមិនត្រូវជាមួយរដ្ធាភិបាលច្រើនតែធ្វើឲ្យខុស
សភ្ភាពដើមហើយតែងតែឲ្យប្រជាជនយល់ច្រឡំ
ថារាជរដ្ធាភិបាលលោកបានធ្វើទៅវិញ។ប៉ុន្តែនោះគឺ
ជាសម័យពីដើមនៅសម័យនេះបច្ចុបន្បន្ននេះមិនដួចសម័យពីដើមទេ។រាជរដ្ធាភិបាលមិនបន្តោយឲ្យ
ជនណាមួយបំផ្លាញប្រទេសជាតិម្តងទៀតទេ។លុះ
ដល់ប្រមុខរាជរដ្ធាភិបាលលោកនិយាយបក្សប្រឆាំងថាប្រទេសកម្ពុជាគ្មានប្រជាធិប្បតេយ្យសេរីនិយម
។បើអ្នកទាំងអស់នោះចង់សាកលមើលធ្វើការនៅ
សហរដ្ធអាមេរិកាំងមើលបើគ្មាននរណាមួយធ្វើការ
មិនគោរពច្បាប់របស់រោងចក្រទេអ្នកនោះនឹងជួបប្រ
ទះនៅការបន្តេញចេញពីរោងចក្រដោយគ្មានតវ៉ាទេ។

ចុះបើនិយាយកម្មករនៅប្រទេសខ្មែរវិញរោងចក្រ
ពុំអាចធ្វើបានទេដោយសារប្រទេសយើងនៅមាន
ភាពក្រីក្រហើយប្រជាពលរដ្ធខ្មែរលោកពុំទាន់
យល់ច្បាស់អំពីច្បាប់ទម្លាប់អំពីរោងចក្រប៉ុន្មានទេ
ហើយម៉្យាងវិញទៀតប្រទេសខ្មែរយើងមិនទាន់
មានគំរោងឲ្យប្រជាពលរដ្ធខ្មែរយើងធ្វើការងារយក
លុយកាក់ជាប្រាក់អាទិត្យបានទេ។បើសិនជាប្រទេសខ្មែរយើងធ្វើការយកជាប្រាក់អាទិត្យខ្ញុំបាទសង្ឃឹមថាប្រជាជនខ្មែរនឹងមានការធូរស្រាលជាងប្រាក់
ខែ។ពីព្រោះខ្មែរយើងនៅក្រីក្រច្រើនណាស់សព្វ
ថ្ងៃនេះ។បើបក្សប្រឆាំងចង់ជួយប្រជាពលរដ្ធខ្មែរ
ត្រូវប្រឆាំងយ៉ាងនេះទើបចម្រើនប្រទេសជាតិ។
ប៉ុន្តែមិនដើរនិយាយទេគឺត្រូវមានពាក្យមានសំដី
ឡើងទៅដល់រាជរដ្ធាភិបាលទើបរដ្ធាភិបាលលោក
ដឹងកុំនិយាយដោយគ្មានសំណើរ។
Re-arrange your sentence, ah Kun?Phally. It's hard to be understood by most. Learn to write simple sentence. Avoide using passive voice. You are not up to that level yet. Don't pretend to know what you don't know. It makes you look cheap!
...next time you should write:"I'm bought off at the cost of a dried bone by. . ."
what else can they do besides barking this and there?
8:09AM,
Can ah pleu not compare American government to yours, ah pleu. There is no match. Cambodia has been ruled by a dictator who uses absolute power to extreme. Your sam-ach phdachkar will one day in your time lose in disgrace. Keep barking ah chhke ange si -a dandruffed dog, because when your work bears no fruit for ah Hun Sen, he will hange you upside down and submerge you in the water momentarily in the same way as you killed the innocent Khmer when you were an active killer.
. . .let me add a little bit more about ah pleu 8:09AM: You are one of the real Yuons. You don't care about losing Cambodia to ah Yuons. You will more happy if the country be taken by Yuons forever, right, ah pleu Yuon slave? Ah eng is no better than chhke te, ah chhke! You will be born as chhke in hundreds of your life times to come. Ah thok teab! It's unfortunate that I am unable to download Khmer fonts to write Khmer bach to you sob.

Abraham Lincoln, US President said:
The Government of the People, by the People, for the People.
Hun Sen's cliques' proverb: The Government of Hun Sen's CPP, by Hun Sen's cronies, for Hun Sen's nepotism.
CPP is like the Hell of Party, which all vampires are afraid of lights. In other words, they are afraid of the truths. That's why Murderous Hun Sen doesn't want more KR leaders including Hun Sen himself to be tried by ECCC.
Wherever Hun Sen goes, he talks arrogantly, aggressively, rudely and brutally, who doesn't want anyone to ask him a question. In his heart is full of anger,crook, flame, fire and so on...
All Khmer must rise to oust Hun Sen's CPP before Cambodia is being wiped out by illegal 10 000 000 Yuon migrants.
Khmer must rise......!
Huy...Mee Mu Sochua Hun causes too much problem. Hun don't return to Cambodia, stay there and let your White man help you out
(Note: if you post long sentence, I wont't read it.)
