Mu Sochua petitions U.S President Barack Obama to condemn Cambodian court

Outspoken opposition MP Mu Sochua, who is a Nobel Peace Prize nominee, has on 10th June sent a petition to U.S President Barack Obama asking him to condemn the Cambodian court which have been used by leaders of the ruling party to stifle freedom of expression in Cambodia, reports Radio Free Asia.

Mu Sochua's petititon to Presiden Obama followed a Supreme Court's decision on 2nd June which upheld a lower court verdict which found her guilty of defaming Prime Minister Hun Sen, a decision criticised by observers and human rights group as politically motivated designed to crack down on opposition politicians.

The petition reminds President Obama that the U.S has provided $60 million in aid to Cambodia to help in judicial reforms and the democratic process as well as good governance, so the United states has a moral obligation and responsibility to object to such a politically-motivated verdict. The petition also reminds President Obama that by failing to speak out against the court's rulings, the United States would undermine its long-cherished values of freedoms of speech and expression and the rights to an independent and impartial judicial process, equality before the law, and legal representation.

As of Friday the 11th June, 337 people had signed an online petititon asking President Obama to make a strong statement and condemn the Hun Sen government.

Mr. Ky Tek, Mr. Hun Sen's lawyer, is pushing really hard for the court to implemet its verdict by forcing Mu Sochua to pay the fine or jail her if she refused to comply with the court order. Mrs. Mu Sochua said that she'd rather go to jail than pay the fine for a crime she didn't commit.

    This shit drag on long enough. Ms. Mu, you bring this problem on yourself. Now they try to get the US to help you. The US don't give a dam about your petty problem. Obama got enough headache with the oil spill. He has no time for your stupid fight with HS.

    now is she fighting for cambodia or is she fighting for herself. don't forget there are more to cambodia than you and i, really! something may be once upon a time true in cambodia; however, nowadays, one has to see to believe in cambodia. rumors and hearsay in never a scientific nor accepted in today the new cambodia, you know! keep in mind many many things in cambodia has changed already, so don't use that outdated thinking to fool people again. cambodia has passed an isolation and ignorant era already. and again this is not the dark ages, ok; leave that to the history book.

    Disgrace Mu Sochua’s problem all along, is that she is trying to be a politician. She's not, never has been and quite obviously, never will be. She should have just been herself, provide alternative policies and show Khmer people what a great alternative MP opposition she would be. Instead, her foray into being a politician has been a disaster. She comes across as pretending to be something she's not. Now, her political career is on the line and herself also in the hot water.

    While the nation is facing complex economic, social and environmental issues disgrace Mu Sochua tried to promote her political stunt, aimed to get media attention. If this wasn’t such a clear demonstration of her selfish pursuit of personal ambition it would be laughable. There is no doubt that Mu Sochua has no real regard for the best interest of the nation. She is driven solely by a desire to become a “Champion of Women or a new Aung San Suu Kyi” by any means available to her, even if that has the potential to destabilize the country. Even worse, she is attempted to make trouble after she lose her case in the Supreme Court against Prime Minister Hun Sen. Will she happy going to jail or pay the fine, everyone can bet for it.

    People of integrity admit their faults, make amends and are judged fairly...Disgrace Mu Sochua is lacking in integrity and common sense and tries to change Cambodia into her own world. As long as Cambodia’s Court doesn’t issue any verdict which is fitted for her political stunt, she will screaming for the justice all day long.
