Sam Rainsy called in over the phone to talk to his followers who were gathered in front of the old National Assembly building to commemorate the attack on the 30 March 1997 demonstration led by Sam Rainsy.
In front of hundreds of people, including monks, who came to commemorate the event in front of a stupa erected at the Wat Botum park, the exiled opposition leader demanded that justice be provided to the victims of the 1997 grenade attack.
In a 10-minute-long speech from France, Sam Rainsy indicated that, “even if the authority was not impartial,” he hoped that one day, “justice will be delivered” and that the “main characters at the origin of this attack [would] be sent to face justice.”
Rong Chhun, President of the Cambodia Independent Teachers’ Association (CITA) which is close to the opposition, said that the Cambodian police had the mean to arrest the culprits, but, that “in this affair, if did not want to.”
Ly Vanny, President of the family of the 1997 attack victims, said that she is “unsatisfied” to see that “13 years after the fact, no one has been brought to face justice.”
“We want justice, not revenge,” Ly Vanny assured. “We asked the government to find the killers and the FBI to continue its investigation.”
On 09 December of last year, the FBI, which was involved in the investigation due to the presence of a US citizen (Ron Abney) among the people injured, had declassified a portion of the file at the request of The Cambodia Daily.
The FBI accused the CPP forces through testimonials in which soldiers who were present during the demonstration were “dressed in combat uniform” on the morning of 30 march. Witnesses described that the behaviors of the cops and soldiers seem to indicate that they knew about the imminent attack.
Of the 2,300-page contained in the FBI report, only 257 were made available to the public. Furthermore, several names were also blacked out.
The attack aimed at a procession led by the Khmer Nation Party, the precursor to the SRP, killed at least 16 people and injured over 100 people.
