On 17 September, the spokesman for the Sam Rainsy Party indicated that the condemnation statement by the Cambodian National Assembly (NA) against Mrs. Mu Sochua for raising human rights issues in Cambodia at the US Congress is merely an attempt to hide [Hun Sen regime’s] misdeeds.
This reaction came after two Cambodian NA committees - the foreign affair committee and the human rights committee – issued a joint statement condemning the speech given by SRP MP Mu Sochua regarding human rights issues to the US Congress’ Tom Lantos Human Rights Commission hearing.
The NA’s statement indicated: “[We] condemn all actions taken by Mrs. Mu Sochua who provided false testimony with the aim of confusing the national and international opinion.”
SRP MP Yim Sovann, SRP spokesman, told RFA that: “The truth about human rights violations in Cambodia is not a mystery.”
Yim Sovann added: “The constitution stipulated the holding of a national congress. Now, let’s set up a congress, and let’s raise of these issues, and ask whether [people] have these rights or not? If the victimized people answer that they have [no] rights, the government should accept the truth, and it should bring in reforms and change its own policy so that social injustice does not linger like this.”
On 10 September 2009, SRP MP Mu Sochua gave her testimony to the US Congress’ Tom Lantos Human Rights Commission in Washington DC in which she discussed about human rights violations and the violations of the freedom of expression that are taking place in Cambodia currently.
Mrs Mu Sochua was joined in this hearing by Dr. Pung Chiv Kek, President of the human rights group Licadho, and Mr. Moeun Tola, the labor director of the Community Legal Education Center (CLEC) NGO.
MP Cheam Yeap from the ruling CPP party said, in regards to Mrs. Mu Sochua’s testimony: “She raised about democracy moving backward, (2) this is also the case for human rights, and (3) the lifting of her immunity. In reality, everything that we did was done according to the law.”
Nevertheless, Mrs. Mu Sochua confirmed to RFA that the US Secretary of State [Mrs. Hillary Clinton] will send a high level US delegation to visit Cambodia soon, this delegation will also review the possibility of attaching various conditions to aids provided by this Superpower.

Disgrace Mu Sochua’s problem all along, is that she is trying to be a politician. She's not, never has been and quite obviously, never will be. She should have just been herself, provide alternative policies and show Khmer people what a great alternative MP opposition she would be. Instead, her foray into being a politician has been a disaster. She comes across as pretending to be something she's not. Now, her political career is on the line and herself also in the hot water.
While the nation is facing complex economic, social and environmental issues disgrace Mu Sochua tried to promote her political stunt, aimed to get media attention. If this wasn’t such a clear demonstration of her selfish pursuit of personal ambition it would be laughable. There is no doubt that Mu Sochua has no real regard for the best interest of the nation. She is driven solely by a desire to become a “Champion of Women or new Aung San Suu Kyi” by any means available to her, even if that has the potential to destabilize the country. Even worse she lodged the appeal her case against Prime Minister Hun Sen to the Appeal Court following the announcement of her guilty verdict by the Phnom Penh municipal Court.
People of integrity admit their faults, make amends and are judged fairly...Disgrace Mu Sochua is lacking in integrity and common sense and tries to change Cambodia into her own world. As long as Cambodia’s Court doesn’t issue any verdict which is fitted for her political stunt, she will scream for the justice all day long.
No matter what she’s crying out to ask the US Congress to intervene with the Cambodian Parliament to re-instate her immunity back, but not much the US Congress can do. Indeed, she unabashedly criticized the Cambodian government and the Cambodian Parliament in front of US Congressmen on 10 September 2009, will put her even worst situation let alone ever get back her immunity.
Khmer Australian
shut the fuck up motherfucker son of the bitch, or ah hun sen sperms
Youn Australian
To all Khmer,
We should or shouldn't support Mu Sochua it is our right! We need to write letter or not to our government it is also our right. She has already done the hard part, sacrifice her sweet time in sucking her white man and standing up for her political stunt in the name of the sake of our people and nation.
I agree! We shall not allow her thick and oily face to disappear nor her work be unappreciates.
Mu Sochua is the Cambodian invaluable damn stone. When you dropped a coin you pick or not it's up to you. Let's at lease do the same for our patriot.
Mu Sochua has very big mouth, that is why she's able to suck her white man. hahaha
Khmer Autralian , you are making a fool of yourself . Only a few of you got brainwashed by the CPP propagana and keep barking to hide the facts but, people over the world are not that dumb , they are much smarter than you .

3:46 AM , Your mom's pussy is even bigger than Mu Sochua's mouth .
2:34 PM
Talking about patriotism , what have you done for your country as a Khmer guy ? You and your corrupted government have been leading the country down to hell that's why you hear the voice of the people all over the world who love freedom and democracy condemning the action of your government . You need to stop taking the wrong medicine to be able to think and see what's really going on in Cambodia right now. I havent seen any NGO , UN or international condemm the Opposition Parties for the job that they do but I have heard hundreds of times the UN and the International accuse your government for abusing its power and intimidating people who dare to criticize the government. Doesn't that tell you anything ?
Truck Driver
Khmer Autralian !
Your comment is always full of hatdred and is away from the facts. Your comment is just like your Prime Minister's speech , showing the ignorence and stupidity of yours , incapable of understanding and seeing what's really happeneing .
Wishing you both the Best wishes for
Pchhum Ben.

what she did is no harm to Khmer people than She Pee Pee Potty (CPP) did to Khmers
The fight for freedom, social justice, and democracy for defenseless Khmer people must go on. It must go on ceaselessly.
This despotic government must be stopped, otherwise Cambodia will become a second Laos soon. We as decent Khmers must stand up strong to challenge to Hun Sen's and his criminal clique's despicable game of turning Cambodia upside down.
If there are no Khmers living overseas strongly express their opinions or objection against Hun Sen and his criminal clique's evil acts, the defenseless Khmer poeple living inside the country must have been more severely maltreated. But, unfortuantely, some Khmer living overseas turn to be Khmer Rouge in disguise as Khmers not Rouge; until they bark so strongly to defend Hun Sen that we can tell they are actually Khmer Rouge, like Krama Man Krohorm Kor, New Phally, and Khmer Austarlia, etc. These Khmer Rouge won't change their absolute Khmer Rougeism, even until they face trial like ah Duch. Ah Duch won't change his doctrine too. If given a second chance, he will boublekill the innocent Khmers, because, to most Khmer Rouge, killing is fun.
Anyway I strongly hope that most Khmer not Rouge living overseas will continue their pursuit for social justice for their beloved defenseless compatriots.
. . .and Khmer Autrakian,
Can you mention a few names of your "people of integrity admit their fauls."? And if you mean people like Hun Sen, Bun Rany, Sok An, Hor Naim Hong, Cham Praset, Om Yin Tieng, Tea Banh, and many more big leeches are those who possess "integrity", you are the most dumb fool among a few of you.
3:34PM,
If you write your silly comment like that, you should never address "To all Khmer".
correction: 3:34PM to 2:34PM.
The CPP and their supporters couldn't grasp the concept of human right violation. These people have a very thick skull and their brains is very tiny. As the result of the corruption and drown themself with wealth by sucking from the poors, we should not be suprise of their philosophical about human right violation. Having said that, there are still hope for the Khmer people as long as we Khmer around the world like Madam Sochua still going around exposing these crooks brutality behavior to the international. These international larg doners is a life line for Hun Sen and the CPP inorder to continue griping on their power. Thing will change soon, but it won't be over night. Therefore, be patience folk because nothing will last forever, Hun Sen and his cronie day will come sooner than you think.
To Ah Khmer Australian
I've wonder if you have any brain cell at all.
Can you use different screen name other then Khmer Australian, because not only you make Khmer peoples look bad, but you also make Khmer Australian peoples look bad.
Khmer peoples don't support the Cambodian People's Party Hun Sen Khmer Rouge Regime killing innocent Khmer peoples.
Khmer Rouge peoples support Cambodian People's Party Hun Sen Khmer Rouge Regime.
The peoples that oppose the peoples that fight for democracy are Khmer Rouge or Khmer Rouge supporters.
Mu Sochua by testifying against the Cambodian government before a foreign government body, you have committed treason against Cambodia, becuase before you occupied the office of Member of Parliament of Cambodia, you took an oath that you will not allow any foreign countries to disrupt, or to issue political orders both inside and outside the country and now you broke that oath.

To Hun Sen Supporters,
Let's not forget that without white men's help Hun Sen will have no one to beg money from. You and your government hate white men but you and your government beg money from white men. If you and your government have dignity and feel proud of being Khmers please tell Hun Sen to stop begging.
sometimes the truth hurts, you know!
mu sokhu a looser alway a looser. if you not help don't destroy. go back to school and learn politic agaian!!
Mu Sochua stand up for your rights. Fight Hun Sen until he's brought down and Viets leave khmer land.
