Opposition leader Sam Rainsy, representing Kampong Cham province, and SRP MP Mu Sochua, who is currently unfairly sentenced by the Phnom Penh municipal court, are expected to lose their right to participate in the upcoming 2013 general election.
Sam Rainsy, who is currently living abroad, is currently accused by the court of 4 other charges in regards to the uprooting of border stakes in Koh Kban Kandal village, Samrong commune, Chantrea district, Svay Reign province, on 25 October 2009.
Stemming from the charges of destruction of public properties and incitation to racial discrimination, Sam Rainsy was sentenced in absentia by the Svay Rieng provincial court to 2-year of jail time on 27 January 2010. He is currently facing two other charges from the Phnom Penh municipal court: disinformation and falsification of public document. These last two charges are now in the hand of the Phnom Penh court.
Even though the Svay Rieng sentence is being appealed by his lawyer and the additional 2 charges is in the hand of the Phnom Penh municipal court, the expectation is that Hun Xen’s court will not allow the opposition leader to go free. All these charges could lead to the loss of his right to participate in the upcoming 2013 general election.
As for Mrs. Mu Sochua, the SRP MP from Kampot province, she already swore in public that she will not pay the fine to Hun Xen as the Supreme Court ordered her. She strongly believes that the defamation lawsuit case is very unfair because, in the end, the victim who suffered insults ended up being sentenced by the court instead.
Nevertheless, numerous observers believe that this is a ploy by the CPP to uproot the opposition out the Cambodian political scene so that it can have an absolute dictatorial control of the country. Even though on numerous occasions the CPP tried to attract away SRP supporters by directly buying them out with money or by offering them positions, the SRP still receives support from the Cambodian people.
Hun Xen used to boast in public about his political strategy for the upcoming 2013 general election, he indicated that the opposition party will be represented among other parties, but the opposition party leader will not be allowed to join in this election.
This situation had been criticized by the European Union which indicated that: could it be possible to have an opposition party without an opposition leader? The EU also wondered if there is such a thing as a democracy without the presence of an opposition party?
Up to now, these questions went unanswered and there is great concerns about this bad situation for democracy in Cambodia as this can lead to a return of a dictatorial regime that existed in the not too distance past. It is only through a communist dictatorial regime that the current Cambodian leaders can continue to rule the country without impunity.

Cambodia will be better without Xam Rainxy and disgraced Mu Sochua. Both politicians are realised on stunt to gets media attention.
It is still better than corrupt leaders who give away Cambodia's land, exploit natural resources and the poor, just to name a few.

SAM MOK!!!it would be great if they can never join election again!!!
I hate to disappoint you guys. They will return after some kind of apologies.

The reality is that the two MP's have been given you puppets many sleepless nights, and intensifying throbbing frustration and pain, did they not?
We the spectators really enjoy watching you and your Viet master jumping up and down in agony.
You think we don't have any idea what you are doing - it is called ISOLATION!!!!!!!!!!!!!! before your boss move in again for the final kill, and be assured that it will include you as well..... AMEN!
Cambodia would be much better without Hun Sen and CPP. They are khmer blood sucker for Viet.
We need to unite around Sam Ransy to fight the dictatorship in Cambodia. We need to take back what belong to us. Enough is enough.
Everybody knows, that Hun Sen is afred of Sam Rainsy, after all he is afraid of all of his opponents, why he try to exclude Sam Rainsy from nex election, he did it with Norodom Ranarith.
By doing this he deprives democracy from Cambodians, more than that he brings dictatorship in to Cambodia. This should not be acceptable for Cambodians.
Political game is not playing chess. In this case, HS know many steps ahead of what his opponent will react and what he will do next.
While the opposition don't have a clue what they are doing. HS always have trap waiting for them and they step right into it.
well, if they don't know how to be a politician and just run amok, then who knows!
cambodia can use everybody. everyone has to live under the law, no exception, ok!
You mean the jungle law made by the three monkeys? and the currupted court systems?
jungle law is your opinion, wonder what the other side think of your law? a good example of bias here!

បាន ទើប សម រង្សី ដើរទៅខ្ចីដៃ កឹម សុខា តាម
រយៈការចងសម្ពន្ធភាព ហើយនិងដឹកច្រមុៈ ស៊ាន
ប៉េងសែ បុរសអស់សង្ឃឹម អោយដើរ តាម ដើម្បីបោកបា្រស់ខ្មែរតាមបរទេសដោយ
វិធីលែង ប៉ាហ៊ីឆ្ពិនភ្នែក។
KHMER WHO LIVE IN CAMBODIA MUST STAND UP AND FACE WITH HUN SEN. WHY NOT A FEW MILLIONS CAMBODIAN RISE UP NOW? WAKE UP KHMER! DON'T ASK WHAT THE COUNTRY CAN DO FOR YOU ASK WHAT YOU CAN DO FOR YOUR COUNTRY.
4:39 Am
I smell Pol Pot communist all over again. If you like living under Khmer Rouge regime, go ahead and join with this fool bastard 4:39 Am. If you are a hard worker and try to survive in the real world, keep doing what you're doing. Cambodia is better off with PM Hun Sen. Cambodia had been through hell and chaos so many times, why in the world you want to go back?
4:39 am, Go ahead and rise up! Nobody is stupid enough to follow you. You must be one of those lazy bastards that don't want to do anything. Stupid moron! Go to hell! Cambodia doesn't need trash like you. LOL!!!!
សូមខ្មែរទាំងអស់ភ្ញាក់រលឹកឡើង ឈប់រស់ក្រោមការបោកប្រាស់ ញុះញង់របស់
គណបក្សសម រង្ស៊ី តទៅទៀតទៅ ពួកគេ បានបោកប្រាស់អ្នកទាំងអស់គ្នាជាង
១0ឆ្នាំមកហើយ។
ឥឡូវនេះ សមរង្ស៊ីកំពុងតែដើរបោកពួកខ្មែរក្រោមដែល
ល្ងង់ខ្លៅមិនមានការចេះដឹងថា ទឹកដីដែលបាត់បង់ជាមួយ
ប្រទេសយួន គាត់នឹងទៅយកមកឲ្យខ្មែរក្រោមវិញ។
សូមអ្នកទាំងអស់គ្នាពិចារណាទៅមើល សូម្បីតែសម រង្ស៊ី ខ្លួនឯងក៏ត្រូវដេញចេញពីដំណែងដែរ ធ្វើដូចម្ដេច សម រង្ស៊ី
អាចទៅយកទឹកដីដែលបាត់បង់ជាមួយប្រទេសយួន មកឲ្យខ្មែរក្រោមវិញបានទៅ?។
