KONG Sam Onn, a lawyer who was served with a bar complaint last year while representing Sam Rainsy Party lawmaker Mu Sochua during her high-profile defamation dispute with Prime Minister Hun Sen, has been appointed director of programmes for the Cambodian Centre for Human rights, the organisation said Monday.
“I think it is a good job to promote human rights, and I will work to help the nation and devote my love to the nation,” said Kong Sam Onn, who ceased representing Mu Sochua and defected to the ruling Cambodian People’s Party after the bar complaint was filed by government lawyer Ky Tech.
“I am a member of the CPP, but it doesn’t mean that a member of the CPP will work to oppose human rights in Cambodia,” he said.
Kong Sam Onn has also represented Sam Rainsy and Ho Vann, another SRP lawmaker.
He has worked as a legal consultant at the Khmer Rouge tribunal and as a senior manager at the Cambodian Defenders Project, a legal aid NGO.

Kong Sam Onn , you were a coward last year , what make you think you wont be a coward again ? You won't do anything if its against the CPP members wrong or right because you are such a coward.
How can the CCH be represented by a man who gave up all his principles to earn a living as someone else's puppet? I can understand his unwillingness to represent the Opposition party members, but to then turn and join the CPP? Why the need to join? Was it a case of "Can't beat them join them"? If he felt that he could not act for Mu Sochua, well fair enough. But the act of joining the CPP lost him respect.
Hahaha, Hun Sen is now smiling all the way to the donnor's meeting and greater power. Now the CPP working for the CCHR what next, how about global witness? and what about UN observer? Yeh right the the member of the UN who support the criminal who run Cambodia are also criminal.....
I infer from Kong Sam Onn's new post at CCRH that only profit-before-everything mentality can direct all politicians' attention to political considerations. He is smart enough to figure out that joining and working(?) for a corrupt powerful party will open all possible avenues for wealth.
No wonder his promotion came overnight.
You're right 6:09pm and it's not good.
On a positive side, this helps the Nation be better in the long run and the CPP more competent and less barbaric to the innocent.
You don't see the SRP in the air force, navy and ground troop army, do you? well, it's about time.
THis guy has no dignity. He lost his principle. He could not even do his job. He was supposed to defend his client as a lawyer. How can he defend Human right? I do not know how he is hired to work for human right.
ពួកអាឆ្កែកញ្ជះយួនកែមិនឡើង! មានថ្ងៃណាមួយយូនខាំក្បាលពួក អាក្បត់ជាតិឯងស៊ីមិនសល់ឆ្អឹងទេ!
You don't have right, how can you protect other persons' right??????
Your probation peroid is not over yet, keep up a good job!
I have feelings that Ou Virak is sold out. CCHR is just a tool for CPP. This is obvious now!
Kong Sam Onn defected from representing Mrs. Mu Sochua to joined CPP last year. Now he appointed as the director for CCHR. Obviously Kong Sam Onn, CCHR will not dare to opposing his/their master Hun Sen. Pathetic!

Mr. Som Onn,
I just hope (even just 1%) that you will use this job to promote the human rights and to proof that CPP is good, however, I am concernig that you can't change CPP but CPP will change you as did in the past, and one day, CCHR will become CPP intity too!!!
Here are your tasks, Mr. Som Onn, to proof your loyalty to CPP, 1) protect CPP in human right issues, 2) make CCHR to work for CPP (many ways it can be,,,,)!!! If you can do these two things, you are a good member of CPP and will be promoted,,, of MONEY, POWEVER,,,rewards!!!!
CPP is also hoping that soon people at CCHR from the top to the bottom will become members of CPP include Mr. Vireak,,,,,,,,, this is also your measurrement of loyalty.
Lastly, must remember that YOU ARE A CPP, Mr. SOM ONN, who are your bosses/bossies,,,, and who are your family's members,,,!!!! no fighting with your brothers and sisters,,, but protect, ok!,, advise from your DAD,,HO!!
Good job Mr. Vireak, thanks for taking Mr. Som Onn in, you are also warmly welcome to CPP!!!
Cambodian Center of Human Rights is an extension of the Sam Rainsy Party. You want the military to be neutral. Why don't you want NGOs to be neutral? It's a kind of double standards. Change yourselve first before asking others to change.
7:49PM, you are truely idiot! Do NGOs arm with weapons? Can SRP and NGOs cause war?
You can't compare NGOs to Hun Sen's military. IDIOT! Well... most CPPs and its supporters are stupid anway...
