Siem Reap provincial authority indicated that Chea Sophal, the son of General Chea Morn, the commander of the army region 4, was arrested by military police on 24 March and sent to the court for sentencing. An anonymous source from the Siem Reap military police indicated that the arrest is related to a robbery that took place 5 years ago in Chong Kaosou village, Slor Kram commune, Siem Reap city. The same source said that he does not know the cause of the robbery, but Chea Sophal was sentenced in absentia to 5 years of jail time for robbery. The source indicated that, following the sentence, Chea Sophal appeal the court decision. On 24 March, Judge Ith Samphos held another trial and in the afternoon of that same day, the judge decided to sentence Chea Sophal to 6-1/2 years of jail time for robbery and illegal use of firearms.

Siem Reap's Court has sentenced General Chea Morn's son goes to jail for more than 6 years. It's a good sign for legal system in Cambodia.

General's son dared to spend more than 6 years in jail, why Sam Rainsy is so afraid going to jail for 2 years? Sam Rainsy must be a coward man.

Hi! Dude,

Please to remember that he will enter to the prison from the front gate and will live the prison within few days later by using the rear gate. Who fucking knows.

The same case of Nhem Vandeoun, younger brother of Nhem Saron. He was arrested at 4th quarter of 2009 and now many rumor said that he has already left the PG prison, because he has million from corruption. In Cambodia easy, make corruption, then you can use that money for free from prison or sentence.

Frankly, I don't trust the press in Cambodia any more, before I bought local newspapers almost everyday, but now I cease to read them. Before I used to trust DAP, but now I am so sorry I don't trust them any more. They published the case, but they don't follow up the case, what's happening with the case. Once Nhem Vandoeun was arrested, the press published as serious case, but now they know that Mr. Nhem was released they don't publish sic.

The event Samlot in 1967 is a date that political power must not ignore in the historic annals of modern Cambodia.

In early 1967, an insurrection broke out in the area around Samlot in Batdambang, a province long noted for the presence of large landowners and great disparities of wealth. Local resentment focused on tax collections and on the decision of the revenue starved government to expropriate land to build a sugar refinery near Samlot. In January 1967, irate villagers attacked a tax collection brigade--an incident that recalled the 1925 murder of the French resident in the area…..
The insurrection quickly spread through the whole region. Lon Nol, the prime minister, responded harshly approximately 10,000 people had died.

Police violence has not frightened the peasants.

Unrest spread rapidly from Batdambang to the southern and to the southwestern provinces of Pouthisat (Pursat), Kampong Chhnang (Kompong Chang), Kampong Cham, Kampong Spoe (Kompong Speu), Kampot, and the central province of Kampong Thum. By the end of 1968, unrest was reported in eleven of the country's eighteen provinces.

The revolution was in progress.

Totally agree with your comment! If Sam Rainsy is a for Khmer people, he should go back to Cambodia and confront with the government by serving time. Show your courage!
