PHNOM PENH, Cambodia – Prime Minister Hun Sen's government filed a lawsuit Friday against opposition leader Sam Rainsy that accuses him of spreading false information about a border dispute with Vietnam.
The lawsuit was based on several comments made by Sam Rainsy, who questioned whether Cambodia's border with Vietnam had been incorrectly marked by the government to Cambodia's advantage.
Earlier this week, Hun Sen described Sam Rainsy's comments as treacherous because Cambodia already has a volatile border dispute with Thailand on its northern and western frontiers, so causing trouble with Vietnam could open up a potential second area of confrontation.
The government's lawyer, Ky Tech, filed the lawsuit at the Phnom Penh Municipal Court. It accuses Sam Rainsy of spreading false information verbally, which carries a prison term of up to three years, and in public documents on Web sites _ which carries a sentence of up to 15 years.
If found guilty, Sam Rainsy could be sentenced up to 18 years in prison, Ky Tech said.
Sam Rainsy is living in exile in Paris and was sentenced in absentia by a Cambodian court last month to two years' imprisonment for a political protest in which border markers on the frontier with Vietnam were uprooted.
The Sam Rainsy Party is the sole opposition party in parliament and Sam Rainsy is a fierce, longtime critic of Hun Sen. His previous tangles with the government have seen him go into self-imposed exile.
Hun Sen was installed after a Vietnamese invasion that ousted the genocidal Khmer Rouge regime in 1979. He is sympathetic with Hanoi, while Sam Rainsy bases part of his political appeal on pandering to traditional anti-Vietnamese sentiment common among Cambodians who don't trust their much larger neighbor.

Som Rainsy sentences for 18 years in prison. Hun Sen and its group will be in Prey Sar prison for life and will be in hell prison as well with Hok Lundy.
They are a real traitor of Khmer history.

I hope one of these day someone will kill Hun Sen so Cambodia will having a better future for the young generation. Hun Sen not different from Pol Pot and remember he's a former Khmer Rouge and his mentality never change. Bring him down now before he destroy your future and the whole country. Wake up all Khmers in the country.
CPP - Communist People Party
Well I hope that HS dose what he says and find Sam Rainsy guilty as this will just reinforce to the Khmer people and the world that Cambodia is living under a KR dictator.
Sam Rainsy is the real Khmer hero!
Chamkarmon, Phnom Penh
All Khmer must stand up against this traitor (Hun Sen).
He will be strike by light soon.
Peking, China
Don't divide forces. Now we are protecting our border on the north, so ignore our border in the south, said Hunn Xenn.

By not confronting ah Youn....meaning that you allow mark their border marks anywhere they wish in Cambodia? what a dick head you are. Your cowardly acts toward Viet.

Sam Rainsy sentence for 18 years in prison.
HUN SEN should be hang because he's a traitor. Please all Khmers in Cambodia stand up and let millions march to national assembly and Hun Sen's house and tell him to surrender.
Shoot Ah Khang Makhak in the middle of derichhan head in the middle of the day or evening, or day. Prepare to die Ah Hun Sen. Theiy ansha heng mork heuy.
I wish I win lottery and hire mercenary to get rid of
Hun Sen dictatorship. He makes some Khmers suffering so much without mercy.
I hope Thai agent kill Hun Sen while he's visiting the border.
same as me Bon phaun roum Protess.
i'm Chen but i luv my birthplace i dun want Yuon to run my country as KAMPUCHEA KROM.
The happiest person in the region must be ah yuon P.M with the name sound like DUNG.He was the one who ordered ah khmer chomkuot HUN SEN to implement his order
Who doens´t know AH KY TECH? A lowest class of so called Lawyers!
We must prepare for elections in 2013 without Sam Rainsy.
Sam Rainsy is ejected politically for 2013.
We need a new leader for the opposition.
The message of M. Hun Sen is very clear.

how can hun sen lives to 2013 this weekend his life finish at Siem khmer border.
LOOK at Lok rainsy and Ah Mad cow disease dog yuon hun cent how is different? khmers peoples can judge in my opinion Ah mad cow disease look devil lowest scum face.
Kone kondoy tae maer vear niss veuy. Twer la'or jompous jeat heuy nuv tae vear tarm ro reung teat. Kone kondouy mae ah Hun Sh*t niss veuy. Ah spineless Hun Sh*t is nothing but a dog who continues to lick the poop of ah YUONs. Ah Niss pler mane tane mong. Sam Rainsy heroic act and deed will forever live on in everyone's hearts and mind. As for ah Hun Sh*t he is already cursed and hell will awaits him.
Sam Rainsy has chosen to commit political suicide.
It's his problem.
Other opposition politicians must know to prepare with intelligence his replacement and the conditions for victory in 2013.
If Hun Xen regime cannot protect both sides of Cambodia at one time, then he needs to step down and let someone else who can. Incompetent is not an excuse when it comes to territorial integrity.
Vietnamese is planting PERMANENT border posts in Cambodia; these posts are FOREVER.
Hun Sen is nearly finish his life now for creating so much problem for Cambodia. God will punish him very soon
CPP youth for change
How can the CPP betrays the Cambodian people and nation like this????
This report is totally false that the border between Vietnam and Cambodia is vague. We have a finite border with all our neighbors left behind by the French era and our map is deposited at the UN.
As King-Father Sihanouk puts it, "a country that does not have a finite boundary is a mortal country."
One must be blind if one thinks that Vietnam has good intentions toward Cambodia, when for the past600 years, has been annexing Khmer territory all along. We lost Kampuchea Krom 'lower Cambodia' as recent as 1949 and we continue to claim it as our land which was ceded by France to Vietnam till this day.
If Khmer people have any conscience at all, the CPP must go and be put on trial for its betrayal of Cambodian interests...
Khmer Krom
It is unfortunate that our Khmer history, since the fall of Angkor, continues to have traitors ceding land to the enemy...
May the spirits of our Khmer ancestors bring Hun Sen down!
Where all R sdach Khmer? You are also responsible for the lost of Khmer land...
If khmer don't love khmer, no one in the world will. So, please try to promote unity. It is useless to discriminate against each other. It will only slow us down that all, at the end of the day, what have we achieved or what else needs to done? Our nation needs security, rights and justice, the right "Law" to protect all for one and one for all. Aust
May God have mercy and blessing upon khmer and cambodia, but not HunXen hanoi agent.
The maps that Sam Ransy showed was wrong if based on agreement between Cambodia and Viet in 1980s. According to this agreement, Hun Sen gave more land to Viet in return for Viet to help him in power. This is fact.
Viet and Khmer are planting border posts based on this agreement and recent approval signed by our stupid King and our symbol national parlimentarians recently.
So Khmer will lose some parts of its land and Sam Ransy will be in prison for 18 years.
Code of Private Party!
Court of Private Party!
Conduct of Private Party!

LOOK AT MR. SAM RAINSY SITUATION. HOW CAN CAMBODIANS EXPECT HIM TO SAVE THE NATION FROM HUN XEN IF THE NATION CAN'T EVEN DARE TO PROTECT HIM FROM CPP COURT. DISGRACEFUL!
My beloved friend, 11:32PM!
I am honestly hateful Khmer PoliSick, but if SamRainsy won't show up in or challenge the jungle court as Ms. Sochu successfully did, which she was publicly unafraid to jail, he will always be a loser because again the CPP and the SenVarman are simply saying that SamRainsy is the one who is truly lying. One SamRainsy cannot defeat the CPP, but only million Khmer people who are patriotically thiinking as him!
the fucken hun shit yuon dog is chey setha 's successor.hun shit continue to give more khmer land to yuon.if he is good khmer leader,he shouldn't cause any troubles in cambodia.
I Support SRP party and Khmer democrat. I do not think Mr. Rainsy purpose was to commit political suicide, but if it comes to that, then it is because the government of Cambodia is still and infant who cannot allow disagreement.
When people are adamant about silencing another person, it only meant that the truth hit them at the most painful position. So when the court ruling come out, every Khmer in the entire country will see Hun Xen and CPP for what it truly is, a Youn vassal.
Even if the court play along to Vietnam, the information Mr. Sam Rainsy has uncover for us Khmer and the action that Hun Xen government has shown is completely worth Mr. Sam Rainsy's sacrafice.
This man remains a hero in my heart. SRP is not Sam Rainsy alone.
And Khmer does not not need Sam Rainsy only.
It doesn't matter to me if Sam Rainsy cannot participate in politic or even if he quit politic right now, he has contributed to the raising of Khmer awareness is good enough for oppositions to collect and destroy CPP subservience to Hanoi.
Mr. Sam Rainsy said it every time, when he goes, there will be more like him to follow in suit. So the end of Sam Rainsy is not the end of oppositions or Khmer consciousness.
Thank you for raising the Khmer consciousness to a new level Mr. Rainsy.
Your dare and challenge leads the roadway and clear path for Khmer people to regain their country back from foreign occupation.
I don't care if next opposition leader is Mu Sochua, or Kem Sokha, or any Rong Chun or whoever, but Sam Rainsy has done is share of the contribution so we Khmer should all be thankful of him.

8:40PM,
MR. SAM RAINSY IS CORRECT. WHAT YOU MENTION ABOUT THE 1980 MAP AH KWAK AND HIS DISGRACEFUL GOVERNMENT USED IS WRONG.
WHEN SIGNED THE PARIS PEACE ACCORD IN 1991 ALL THOSE FALSE BORDER AGREEMENT IN 1980, 1983, 1984 AND 1986 IS VOIDED. THEREFORE, AH KWAK KBOT CHEAT AND HIS PATHETIC GOVERNMENT MAP ALSO VOID AND USELESS, GARBAGE.
THOSE AGREEMENT IS INFLUENCE BY YOUN AND CPP TO BENEFIT YOUN. THOSE AGREEMENT WITH YOUN IS BETWEEN CPP NOT KHMER NATION. THE SAME THING WITH TODAYS BORDER ISSUES. THOSE AGREEMENT WITH YOUN IS BETWEEN AH KWAK AND HIS CPP NOT KHMER NATION. THEREFOR, WHAT AH KWAK AND HIS CPP KBOT CHEAT GOVERNMENT IS ALL FALSE. EVERYTHING THEY DO IS TO PLEASE AND BENEFIT THEIR MASTER YOUN. INCLUDING PROSECUTING MR. SAM RAINSY. THEY USED THEIR POWER NOT LAW. THEY KNOW THEY WILL NOT STAND THE CHANCE AGAINST MR. SAM RAINSY IN THE NEXT ELECTION. AH KWAK CAN NOT LOOSE THE ELECTION BECAUSE HIS MASTER YOUN WILL KILL HIM AS SOON AS HE BECAME USELESS. AND HE KNOWS THAT. THIS IS WHY HE DO ANYTHING AGAINST HIS WILL JUST TO LIVE FOR THE MOMENT.
MOST KHMER PEOPLE ALREADY REALIZED AND HATE AH KWAK KBOT CHEAT HUN XEN. PEOPLE ONLY CAN LIE FOR SO MUCH THEN PEOPLE WILL NOT BELIEVE ANYMORE. AH KWAK NOW HIT THE ROCK BOTTOM AGAINST KHMER PEOPLE. AND HE REALIZED IT TOO. THAT'S WHY HE DO ANYTHING TO DESTROY MR. SAM RAINSY. HE ALSO KNOWS 99.99% OF KHMER PEOPLE IN CAMBODIA HATES HIS GUTS AND HE WILL NOT DARE TO WALK ALONE ANYWHERE ON CAMBODIA LAND.
Surprise. The article says: “The Sam Rainsy Party is the sole opposition party in parliament” - who is going to inform the writer of this article that this is wrong? None of the many comments seem to have realized this – nobody seems to have cared so far to correct this wrong piece of information.
I am not sure how to understand the nice words at the beginning of the KI-Media site, and the long series of anonymous personal attacks, using any amount of profanity:
“KI-Media loves to hear from you, and we're giving you a bullhorn. We just ask that you keep things civil. Please leave out personal attacks, do not use profanity, ethnic or racial slurs,...”
I sometimes try to introduce some publications on KI-Media to others, but many are just shocked by the frequent barrage of dirty language found here – violating the KI-Media rules. Do those readers who hope for a bright future of Cambodia think that to use personal attacks and endless profanity is helpful to achieve these goals?
Finally: I try to find out more about the substance of the controversy: the claims of Mr. Sam Rainsy, and the counter-claims of the representatives of the government. But I did not find anywhere (on the Internet) information about, and access to the maps which Mr. Sam Rainsy is using, nor information about, and access to the maps by which he is being accused.
If the editors and readers of KI-Media could dedicate their energy on finding and publishing the Internet addresses of such material – to get the facts public - that might really contribute towards clarity, justice, and peace.
