The Paris-based Cambodia's Borders Committee (CBC) issued a statement focusing on the accusation leveled against Sam Rainsy for allegedly perpetrating a criminal act in the destruction of public properties, and threatening on the national security.
The statement dated 23 November criticized the charge of destruction of public properties, saying that it is improper because these border stakes are located on top of rice fields belonging to Cambodian farmers, and furthermore, these farmers have protested the installation of these stakes on their fields and the commune and district authorities did not resolve this issue for them. These are private lands, therefore, the owners of the lands have the right to pull them out, however, if the authority confiscates these lands and turn them into public properties, then the authorities did not legally compensate the land owners yet.
Regarding the charge of threatening national security, CBC indicated that, in a country with the rule of law, there must be clear confirmation as to what constitutes national security so that the type and extent of this threat can be estimated.
CBC asked whether, through the uprooting of temporary border posts, Sam Rainsy caused danger to the Cambodian people, or whether he created unrest in the country that could lead to internal warfare or a war between Cambodia and Vietnam? Sam Rainsy and his colleagues visited these posts location under the invitation of protesting villagers, they did not carry any weapons to threaten anybody.
In summary, Dr. Dy Kareth, CBC vice-president, wrote in this statement that the trial of Sam Rainsy will actually take place in the future. CBC indicated that this is a pressure exerted by Hanoi on Hun Xen and the CPP.
As of Thursday, RFA did not yet receive any government reaction to the CBC statement above.
