A LAWYER for Prime Minister Hun Sen plans to submit a request to Phnom Penh Municipal Court officials today for the speedy collection of 8 million riels (US$1,904) owed by opposition lawmaker Mu Sochua in connection with a defamation case involving his client.
On June 2, the Supreme Court upheld the Sam Rainsy Party lawmaker’s defamation conviction, handed down by the Municipal Court last August, as well as an order that she pay 8 million riels in compensation and 8.5 million riels (US$2,023) in fines.
The Appeal Court upheld the Municipal Court ruling last October.
Ky Tech, Hun Sen’s lawyer, said the Supreme Court delivered its verdict to the Municipal Court on Monday, and that he plans to submit his request today.
The fine of 8.5 million riels, he said, is owed to the state, so the court can collect it whenever it wishes.
But because the compensation payment is intended for his client, he said, he has the right to ask that it be paid immediately.
“Since I am representing Samdech Prime Minister, I will make a request to prosecutors to demand the 8 million riels in compensation for mental damages,” Ky Tech said.
Mu Sochua was originally accused of defaming the prime minister after she filed her own defamation lawsuit against him, following remarks he made in a speech in April last year.
When contacted on Monday, Mu Sochua said she would wait to see what action the court takes, but echoed previous statements expressing her refusal to pay either the fine or compensation.
“My stance will not be changed. If I do not pay, I have already read the law, and I will not be imprisoned at once,” she said.
“I want to see whether the court follows Ky Tech or follows the law.”
Phnom Penh Municipal Court prosecutors Yet Chakriya and Sok Roeun, who are in charge of processing Mu Sochua’s case, could not be reached for comment on Monday.

Under the Cambodian People's Party Hun Sen Khmer Rouge Regime, no criminals that has been committed crimes against journalists, political opponents, leaders of the Free Trade Union, innocent men, women and children have ever been brought to justice.
This is Cambodian Hun Sen's rules:
Pay the fine or go to jail. But best of all just go back to America and enjoy the best of the rest of your life.
"My stance will not be changed. If I do not pay, I have already read the law, and I will not be imprisoned at once,” she said.
If I were you I would pay it because the police at the court will go get you quickly once they get the warrant issued. The same thing happened to me so I know- but I was given a heads-up and went to Thailand until it blew over. You may want to exit the country and buy some time because one thing you know for sure, walking the tiger's back like you've been doing is very dangerous.
The soon-to-be-former lawmaker might have to retain herself a sagacious attorney to defend her stupidity.
It is my belief that now is a time for her to join her runaway colleague (former lawmaker Scam Rainsy).

some say pay it others say cower
stoop to a new low, pay the fine
and go
គួរតែអ្នកស្រី មូ សុខហួរ បង់ប្រាក់ពិន័យទៅ
ដើម្បីបញ្ចប់រឿង ពីព្រោះខែនេះមូសច្រើនណាស់
នៅក្នុងគុកព្រៃស ដែលអាចធ្វើអោយកើតជំងឹគ្រុន
ឈាម។
អ្នកគាំទ្រ អ្នកស្រី មូ សុខហួរ គួរតែអង្គាសថវិកា
ជួយបង់ប្រាក់ពិន័យចំនួន ៤០០០ ដុល្លារនេះទៅ
គឺហាក់ដូចជាជួយក្មេងកំព្រាដែរ ពីព្រោះលោក
ហ៊ុន សែន បាននិយាយថាប្រាក់ឈ្នៈក្តីគឺសំរាប់

This crazy lady is making every last-ditch effort to score political points until her political career comes to an end--and the END IS NEAR!
My suggestion to her is this: quit being a politician and go join your losing colleague.
