Observers will want to know whether or not the trial will give justice.SVAY Rieng provincial court has summoned opposition leader Sam Rainsy and five villagers to appear in court on January 27 to face charges stemming from the removal of wooden markers near the border with Vietnam.
Choung Choungy, Sam Rainsy’s lawyer, said Sunday that he received a court summons signed by court prosecutor Keo Thea on Friday and would appear to defend his client, who is currently overseas.
“I maintain my stance that this story is not a criminal case, and that [Sam Rainsy] is not wrong because he did what he did as a representative of the people,” he said.
“This is not a criminal case, but a political story.”
Sam Rainsy has been charged with racial incitement and purposely destroying border-demarcation poles after a Buddhist ceremony in Svay Rieng province’s Chantrea district on October 25. Villagers claimed the markers were placed in their fields by Vietnamese authorities, prompting opposition concerns that Cambodian authorities are turning a blind eye to border encroachments.
A warrant was issued for Sam Rainsy’s arrest after he failed to appear in court on December 28 for questioning in relation to the incident.
Five local villagers – Meas Srey, 39, Prom Chea, 41, Prak Koeun, 38, Prak Chea, 28, and Neang Phally, 39 – were also charged with destroying the border markers and have been summoned to appear in court on the same day.
Two of those named, Meas Srey and Prom Chea, have been detained by local authorities, and the other three remain on the run after failing to appear in court last month.
Nget Nara, provincial coordinator for local rights group Adhoc, said the trial of Sam Rainsy and the villagers would draw the attention of many national and international human rights observers.
“This story is very important because it is related to the border issue and the lifting of Sam Rainsy’s [parliamentary] immunity. Observers will want to know whether or not the trial will give justice to Sam Rainsy and those people,” he said.
Judge Koam Chhean, who is handling the case, could not be reached on Sunday.

To KI Media
Thank you for asking "The Hero or the Traitor?".
Sam Rainsy is a hero.
Because Sam Rainsy defend Khmer peoples and Khmer territories.
That's why Sam Rainsy got assassinated attempt many times already by the Cambodian People's Party Hun Sen Khmer Rouge Regime.
Hun Sen is a traitor.
Because Hun Sen work for the Veitnamese, has no intension to defend Khmer peoples and Khmer territories. Infact Hun Sen give away our territories.
Since Hun Sen been in power thirty one years ago, Cambodia loose Koh Tral along with almost half of ocean territory to Veitnam.
About the Khmer peoples, Hun Sen wants Khmer peoples to vote for his party the Cambodian People's Party Hun Sen Khmer Rouge Regime at the same time, his regime burn down poor Khmer peoples home to the ground and leave them homeless. The Khmer Rouge Regime (CPP) beat up poor Khmer peoples and use their bias courts to send victims to jail.
Whoever voted for the Cambodian People's Party are traitor.
Traitor = Joun Kbot Jeat
If anyone don't believe me, just ask your children, they would tell you that you are a traitor.
Hun Sen is a Khmer Rouge.
Khmer Rouges are responsible for killing 1.7 million innocent Khmer peoples.
Hun Sen is continue to kill innocent Khmer peoples.
The Cambodian People's Party Khmer Rouge Regime are killing innocent Khmer peoples.
Should the Khmer peoples proud of Hun Sen for the job well done?
I knows that Thes Meas and New Phally prouds of a murderer (Hun Sen).
In Cambodia a murderers become kings.
Somdech Hun Sen
Somdech Chea Sim
Somdech Heng Samrin
In the United States of America a murderers become prisoners, some get many years in prison, some get life in prison and in some states a murderer get execute. But none will become king.

MR. SAM RAINGSY is innocence by the International Laws, the people that prosecute him are Criminal People Party is the Vietnamese slave.
Hello,
I do believe the court must take Hun Sen to trail why MR. SAM RAINGSY?
Red-Ant.
There's no government in the world is so corrupted as Hun Sen's. This government tries the patriots and let the invaders go free.
Hello Khmer People,
People voted Hus Sen in hope of he stands for Khmer people rights, but now he is the King of Betrayer of country,
vote him out!!!
vote him out!!!
vote him out!!!
vote him out!!!
vote him out!!!
When Hun Sen wants to steal lands from Khmers he create LAWS to do it.
When Hun Sen wants to jail Khmers he uses court to do it.
When Hun Sen wants to give lands to Yuons he says ECONOMY, he syas DEVELOPMENT.
He acts exactely like Khmer rouges.
Today Khmer people are living in hardship, jobless, suffering, homelessness, etc. under the CPP. The CPP prosecute Mr. Sam Raingsy is a blow to all the Khmer people in the world that the current government is on the Vietnamese side and ignoring the Khmer people suffering and dying. What ever the Vietnamese supporting, developed, businesses, investments, and etc. are to supported and created jobs for the Vietnamese living in Cambodia only the Khmer people get nothing. It is reducing the Khmer population growth because the lack of free medical care, health care, foods, government supports, jobs, housing, schooling, security, safety, and etc.
Hun Sen legal systems = guilty as charge
Any question?
You juge victim to please thief.
Which justice you are talking about band of idiots ?
Monkeys with PHD.
People should not call Hun Xen by name or his unrealistic title, ahkek moha sena batey decho or the 5 stars general. His name should refere to "AH KWAK KBOT CHEAT".
somlap ah kwak kbot cheat as soon as possible for any chance of saving cambodia. a few more years under ah kwak kbot cheat ruling it will not be any cambodia left to defend. have people in cambodia realized or they just waite and waite to see their nation demolish. we all know it will as long as ah kwak kbot cheat still in power.

Gov't needs to find ways to work together as a team. Life is not always about you or me, its about "us", if we keep on fighting, we will lose everything. All gov't need to focus on what else need to be done? avoid personal conflict at all cost! if khmer don't love khmer no one in the world will!. Alot of us who are living abroad have faced with all sort of challenges in their lives, like struggling with English as second language, racism and other intimidation like even you have completed a degree they would still favour their citizen over you which is normal because they love their people more than you. So, if you don't love each other you will allow other to abuse you. One other thing is no other place like home, so gov't need to act now and act fast to have a system in place to help the poor. Gov't need to focus on generating from race, fish, oil, gold etc. It would be great if gov't build 1000s of factories around the country, each factory, e.g. specialised in different goods, like dried fish packaging factory etc and than sign a contract with buyers oversea etc. Don't let other nation buy cheap from you and then they will make millions of it while you earn almost nothing!!!!. Be smarter! People come first or else it will be like pol pot where he kept all the money in swiz and now all gone for nothing where all of these monies used to belong to the death. Now swis have it all. k. Intelligent
5:34AM, I agree but good luck informing the tyrant government. CPP don't care about others but themself this is our problem. This is why we have the most corrupted government in Asia. The opposition are glad to work together to benefits the people and nation. But instead they got trouble for opposing the government unethical ruling. You know what I mean....
It's easy for you and I to say but with CPP, government is like pooring water over a duck head. I am sure you have heard Hun Xen speech. Power hungry, don't give a shit about anybody or the nation.
If you can convince Hun Xen and his CPP clan to listen then I respect your opinion above.
The law was clear. He choose to ignore it for publicity reasons. He has to be accountable for his actions. He's in the position he wants to be so he can beat the drum of so-called injustice.
dear bro.. sam rainsy,
we wish you a best luck regarding go back to the uncivilised kongarou courte's hunsen. don't worry hunsen couldn't do anything becuz the human right watchdog agencies will be 24 hours to supervise the hunsen's action. be strong and fearless when face to hunsen, he is just a hanoi puppet.
the result of trial can be foreseen: Mr. Sam will be found guilty. This is because the present court is CCP's tool for punishing those who dare to protect Khmers and their boons but oppose H S, his elite families and groups and VN's interests.
Has the court look into the other posts that the Viet authurity removed with the help of the CPP.
Has any of them been prosecuted, the the people in charges of managing the board have their immunity removed?
Sam Rainsy has French Nationality. Khmer People (Mrs. Meas Srey and Mr. Prum Chea ) have not Foreign Nationality like Sam Rainsy. So when something happen.. Mr. SAM RAINSY go away abroad but both of them can not like him. I don't believe Mr. Sam Rainsy because he never responsible what he did and when something happen he gone abroad. especially when Cambodia have war happen where Mr. Sam Rainsy live???? live comfortabe in abroad . When Country has full of happiness, he come and sought at this and that like crasy man.
if you are a strong man, Why not holding the gun to the war field and fire with Khmer Rough????
