SRP officials claimed that the lawsuit by the government stemming from the publication of documents by opposition leader Sam Rainsy is not surprising even though the new accusations could carry quite severe sentences. Furthermore, the opposition leader does not seem to seek a lawyer to prepare documents for his defense in court either. Lawsuit against Sam Rainsy was sent to the Phnom Penh municipal court last Friday.
“It’s not surprising,” this is the general reaction from the majority of SRP officials when asked about the new lawsuit brought up by the government against Sam Rainsy last Friday. Chung Chou-ngy, Sam Rainsy’s defense lawyer, said that he was not contacted by Sam Rainsy or by the SRP for him to prepare the defense in this case.
The government lawyer brought two additional accusations against Sam Rainsy following the Svay Rieng provincial court sentencing him to two-year of jail time for “destruction of public properties” and “incitation to racial discrimination” for his involvement in the uprooting of border stakes in Svay Rieng province. The new lawsuit brought up by Ky Tech on Friday, accused Sam Rainsy of “publication of false information” and “falsification of public documents.” These two charges could carry a sentence of up to 15-year of jail time.
The accusations were made after Sam Rainsy published map documents to confirm that numerous border posts in Svay Rieng were planted inside Cambodian territory. The opposition leader accused the government of losing Cambodian territories to the benefit of Vietnam. However, Var Kim Hong, the chairman of the government border committee, called these maps fake documents because the coordinates used in the maps are not located on their actual locations.
The new accusations which carry quite severe sentence bring concerns on the future of the SRP. Even though a large number of people still hope for a political resolution, this affair brings uncertainty on the political life of Sam Rainsy and that of his opposition party.

If the maps are fake, then khmer govt. must show to the public their maps to prove the validity of the documents. But, this could be an attempt to manipulate the situation for political gain.
Why can't the cambo government work with Sam Rainsy to resolve the border issue? This could be a viet tactic to make khmer fight khmer. There is a khmer saying which says "when elephants fight each other, it is ants who suffered"
All khmers must learn lessons from the past and work together for common goal.

NO NEED THE DEFENSE LAWYER WHEN YOU KNOW YOU ARE ALREADY GUILTY IN THE KANGAROOOOO COURT...!
Sam Rainsy Don't spend a penney to defense yourself against Hun Sen's court; it doesn't matter how much evidence you are able to show them, they still put you in jail because Yuon will not allow you to win this case in any cost. Bravo Ah kwak!!

the court jail sam rainsey for two years last month. the court copy thais jailing thaksin for two years.
The latest Cambodian government lodged a criminal complaint against Xam RainXy for misinformation and false public document is the last nail on Xam RainXy's coffin. His political career in Cambodia is done and dashed. His life goes back to square one.
Lie too much is destroyed yourself. So far, Xam RainXy has jumped too high, but when he fall back it hurts him very painful.

Soft strategy won't and will never work with Hanoi-backed CPP. Why not use armed revolution?
Most of the people in Cambodia are so poor that they have to work so hard just to put food on the table. Hun Sen has done a great job in keeping Khmer people poor and ill-informed and scared with this ruthless dictatorship.
Maslow's theory of basic needs come into full play here. When people's basic needs are not met, they can't fully think or comprehend beyond their basic survival needs.
Armed revolution would be great, if you had arms and soldiers. So let's get some guns, bombs, and soldiers and attack the traitor Hun Sen and his CPP gangsters!

Thank you for sharing your brilliant insights with us all! I see it is the same comment that you've posted over and over again! There are so many people like you running Cambodia, that's why our country is in such distress and we are getting raped and kidnapped by the Yuons!
Thank you so very much and keep supporting the traitors!
Ah Hun Sen koeur chea pouct kagncheas ke.Vear kreun beu ban te knea eng te.
Ah Hun xen can do whatever he wants but one thing he is so scare: aging, sickness and death.
Each time I see the posting of this idiot school leaver Khmer in Sydney, I have a big laugh for his very ignorance of his own mentality to serve Vietcong himself and tried to discredit Mr Sam Ransy and all other Nationalists. If Cambodia has more citizen of this kind of slavery mentality, Cambodia will be falled into Vietnam control for a long time. His parents must felt very shamefull for his slavey attitude and to call himself as khmer in Sydney. I don't think Cambodian in Sydney are that stupid like him for their good livestyle and their good education. Only those who have raised from disfuctioning family who dare to sell out their own Nation and their Nationality.
CPP youth promoting for change
11:32 am please tells Meas Srey and Prum Chea about Maslow's Basic Needs theory--the government took their rice fields and gave the fields to Vietnam. But that's not enough, the government put them in jail also.
Which Cambodian families will be next? If the Cambodians will not stand up NOW, they will be next. (According to Meas Srey, she voted for CPP and she expected the CPP to protect her--she did not expect that she would loose her fields to Vietnam.)
"On October 23 1991, the Agreements on a Comprehensive Political Settlement of the Cambodia Conflict were signed by Cambodia and 18 other nations in the presence of the United Nations Secretary-General. The agreements were the culmination of more than a decade of negotiations in which the Secretary-General had been closely involved from the outset."
Article 5:
1: In the event of a violation or threat of violation of the sovereignty, independence, territorial integrity and inviolability, neutrality or national unity of Cambodia, or of any of the other commitments herein, the parties to this Agreement undertake to consult immediately with a view to adopting all appropriate steps to ensure respect for these commitments and resolving any such violations through peaceful means.
2: Such steps may include, inter alia, reference of the matter to the Security Council of the United Nations or recourse to the means for the peaceful settlement of disputes referred to in Article 33 of the Charter of the United Nations.
= Without the Paris Agreement and there would no UNTAC in Cambodia! It is funny how AH HUN SEN Vietcong slave government used UNTAC law to persecute Cambodian people such as Mr. Sam Rainsy? It is funny to me because AH HUN SEN Vietcong slave government never accept the role of Paris Agreement on Cambodian political settlement. And this is for the first time that AH HUN SEN Vietcong slave government acknowledge the role of the Paris Agreement !
From now on any time AH HUN SEN Vietcong slave government dare to use UNTAC's law and he must obey and respect the Paris Agreement down to the letter!
From now on any Siem and Youn violation of Cambodian sovereignty will be persecuted under the Paris Agreement!
