IPU “Deeply Concerned” by Lifting of Parliamentary Immunity of Cambodian Opposition MPs

IPU “DEEPLY CONCERNED” BY LIFTING OF PARLIAMENTARY IMMUNITY OF CAMBODIAN OPPOSITION MPs

In a late January decision of its Committee on the Human Rights of Parliamentarians, the Geneva-based Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU) said it “is deeply concerned at the lifting of Mr. Sam Rainsy’s parliamentary immunity for the same reasons as the ones it has expressed in the cases of opposition parliamentarians Ho Vann and Mu Sochua, namely that without proper examination of the request for the lifting of immunity, without an open and public parliamentary debate, during which the parliamentarians concerned can present their arguments, without a secret vote, parliamentary immunity is reduced to a mere formality and is thus meaningless.”

The IPU also “expresses further concern at the charges laid against Mr. Sam Rainsy which, in the light of the information before it, appear highly questionable.”

First, all we should appreciate Samdech Deycho Hun Sen to take the Preah Vihear Temple case to intetnational court of juctice, UN security council, we Cambodian are waiting those glories days.

By the way I am offer to help Sam Rainsy to re-instal his immunity, but he need to abandon, acting like a cop without jurisdiction.

Not surprise that Hun Sen said: time to raise up this border issue to UN.
I wish and hope he will do but I don't believe that, every Khmer are very happy if this issue are taking to International body or so but our gov't doesn't want, only talk.
Hope this time it will.!!!!

When cambodia natural resources run out. Bigger government will destroy the CPP.

The real issue with borders and should be brought up to the international court first is with vietnam and then thailand.

It should be done long time ago, New Phally. Your stupid boss is afraid to go to court because he is a crook too. He himself will be in court some day, the way he talks, he acts and he threats other. Remember, your boss do not and will not fight Siem because he is afraid to loose all his stolen wealth. He is from the jungle, he had nothing, but now because of his dictatorship and all the crimes that he has committed and continues to commit over his own Khmers, he now a criminal rich and a the longest criminal ruler along with ah kanchas stupid shithead xihanoi. New Phally, long beach, your boss can commit all the crimes he wants in Cambodia but you cannot. Long Beach is in American territory. If you want to commit crim here, you will be death or stay in the cath like Chhun Yasith.

Soon the world will condemn the act of CPP that has been destroying the principle of democracy and bullying the minor as well as powerless dissents.

Justice is still prevail, bad guys will be punished eventually.

New Phally, your dech sii joo hun sen is moving nowhere...he is a great political manipulator in this world.

Hun Sen has only threaten Thailand to bring this verdict to the world's court, but historically though Asian which Mr.Hork Namhong threaten to bring to the meeting, we heard no word at the meeting.

Do you know why?

Vietnam who is boss of CPP and Hun Sen has disagreed to bring this issue to the UN or World Court. VN is the bad guy who is afraid of the effect of this verdict happened to its border encroachment inside Cambodia.

CPP and sii joo Hun Sen is lackey and political manipulator who has worked to eliminate Cambodia without bleeding.

No ah fucking arrogant, gangster, pagoda thug bastard HUN SEN is not "great political manipulator in this world" like you said 9:27 AM.

Ah HUN SEN can barely read and write and speak Khmer. DO NOT give him any credit for what has been happening during the past 3 decades here: ah HUN SEN has just been a domesticated, bought-off, do-as-told or dead Hanoi's slave. And that's all, no more no less.
