Opposition officials are seeking intervention from the US to help opposition leader Sam Rainsy return back to Cambodia so he can participate in the upcoming elections.
Kong Korm, SRP party interim President, called on the US government to help strengthen Cambodia’s judicial system and to help find the means so that opposition leader Sam Rainsy could return back to Cambodia. The latter is now living in self-exile overseas to avoid being arrested.
The opposition party’s call comes after the celebration of the 60th anniversary of the diplomatic relationships between the US and Cambodia which took place on 22 July 2010 in Phnom Penh.
Kong Korm: “The judicial system is not independent, it is under the influence of those in power. Therefore, [the US] should help look after the judicial system and help provide guidance for democracy and the election. There must be true competition from [political] parties. Mr. Sam Rainsy, the leader of the opposition party who suffered from the unfair tribunal, is not allowed to participate in the free and fair election. [The US] should also think about [helping in] democracy and the upcoming election so that it can be conducted better.”
Opposition leader Sam Rainsy was sentenced on 27 January 2010 to 2-year of jail term by the Svay Rieng provincial court. He was charged with destruction of border stakes located at border post no. 185, delineating Cambodia and Vietnam in Chantrea district, Svay Rieng province.
Ou Virak, President of the Cambodian Center for Human Rights (CCHR), declined to comment in Sam Rainsy’s case. However, he stressed that in a democratic society, the opposition party must compete during the election. Therefore, if Mr. Sam Rainsy were to be present in Cambodia prior to the election, it would be a good step to reach democratic election in Cambodia.
Ou Virak said: “Asking for the return of Mr. Sam Rainsy, I say that it is necessary for the opposition party to play a role during the election. Mr. Sam Rainsy is a also a Member of Parliament, if he cannot return back home then it will affect the entire democratic process because the sentence handed down by the Svay Rieng provincial court was political.”
In the afternoon of 23 July, John Johnson, spokesman for the US embassy in Cambodia, declined to comment on the request of intervention made by the opposition party. However, Mrs. Carol Rodley, US ambassador to Cambodia, claimed on 21 July, during the celebration of the 60th anniversary of the diplomatic ties between the US and Cambodia, that in the upcoming 60 years, the US will continue to help Cambodia with human rights respect, democracy and free and fair election.

So far it has been disappointing and lots of empty words. No one believes you Uncle Sam until we see your actions.
USA doesn't care which party you come from, you are with USA, you're OK.
I believe that CPP members are already at USA side because their boss will never with China.
Good luch Sam.

Mr.Sam Rainsy was a good man,He was just concerning about "Cambodia" Viet,encroachment which I'd think it's was true in some cases...Please U.S. help us replace the corrupt government which is controlled by a tiny number of powerful private interest,Help us take our country back so that we can finally have a nation of our own,and for the people.Ha..Ha..Haaa!
Sam Rainsy is so.........stupid. The only chance he can go back to Cambodia is to kiss Ah Hun Sen's ass.
What is the trade-off for Rainsy between kissing HS' ass and being in the country to run his political career? If HS allow him to go in - it just show that HS has an abolute control over the Country. Furthermore, Rainsy would has lost his political cranability asset that he has of serving Khmer people. Either way, Rainsy political career is starting to decline....next election, for sure (if the party continue the same path)...might get less than 26 sits...

"just google kid=Viet agent=GOOG"
GOOG, years ago you were my neighbor and I told you several times not to let the horses fucking your big mouth, but you did not listen to me. Now look at what has happen to you; you stutter or repeat in public 2 to 3 and sometime 4 times before you can hear yourself talking. And you think that other people were like you. No kid, you are wrong, we are not messed up like you are, ok.
Your mouth and hearing are all fucked up. Your brain is functioning at 50% capacity and it keeps on declining…. I don’t want to mention about your sight and sense of smell, they are probably FUBR = fuck up beyond recognition.
Your breath stings, but I cannot figure out the strange pungent smell. Oh, it ought to be from those horses’ cum, heh. So, do us a favor, just shut it; people can smell it for miles when you are around. Can you smile for me; I like to see how many teeth you have left. ; )
Ex-King has said that Mr Sam Ransy problem is a political problem. Therefore SRP members have to think of this political problem. When you are fighting with political problem, there are political path to fight. You cannot rely to foreign to help you for an easy ride and there will be no future for democratic system either because it rely to foreigner power than people power.
Ex King Sihanouk comment was a good puzle to study.
My recommendation is the same for what I have said in the past. Each party has their own democratic system too. If SRP party is a united one and believe that MR Sam Ransy is a good leader and is a strong leader for Cambodia, all their elected members and all HRP members have to boycoth all National Assembly meeting and declare National assembly in urgency and demand for a snap election because National Assembly cannot run smoothly because of too much influenced from Government.
If all members of elected SRP and HRP are walking out from National Assebly, the government will be an illegal government or an inactif government which cannot approve many important things.
At present, many foreign governments are very cautious for intervenning with Mr Sam Ransy leadership as they think it might be a leadership challenge within SRP party such as recent Australian leadership challenge to kick out Frmer Prime Minister Kevin Ruth.

I agree that poster 5:13AM is an idiot and is a shoemate for Hun Sen.
Mr Sam Rainsy is a hero and is a good leader. He has never failed his people and his Nation. Therefore let alone about talking bad about his Nation. His political fight is to push for a real democratic change. Therefore we shouldn't ignore his hard working at all. The problem at the moment for his leadership is how much all his members wanting to support him. If all his elected members and all HRP elected members are walking out from National Assembly and come to UN together to complain for their grievence to UN, then all international comunities would have to take serious action on Cambodia. If this scenario is not taking very seriously by all elected members of opposition parties, then, nothing miracle will be happening at all. In all democratic countries, leadership challenge is very normal. Therefore they are waiting for this challenge to happen so that they look at next opposition leaders to work through.

i am tired to read some stupid comments but I appreciate a few good comments. Guys stop distract and try to talk positively. You need to value yourself and other.
If the US is to intervene in Sam returning back to Cambodia, then there is no different between SRP & CPP. The way I see this case is to face your own destiny. You have to set example as true leader, i.e (Nelson Mendela). Nelson spent time in prison to get SAF to where it is today. Sam, do it for the country and for the people. You must face the consequences and be truth your belief.

If you called his father a dog,you should call his mother a bitch.

5:59 am - Nelson mendela in case of Rainsy? I don't think so...I don't think he is willing to sacrify his personal freedom for the freedom of others...In this case, to constitute Rainsy as a hero?...he is not there yet...as one can sees, Cambodia is still go on with/or without Rainsy...
How many more time will Mr. Sam Rainsy learn and understand cpp? You are a SRP leader you should know and understand about your role and position right? If you still play as a child be as a child if you are a grown up be as a man can you? You are out of the country not because you are lucky cpp let you OUT don't you understand? Learn and understand what next for your future please. I do love srok Khmer and want to see who can really LEAD as a LEADER no matter a woman or man but stick with Khmer benefit only not because your own power.
I Agree with Areak Prey you absolutely right.
Khmer love Khmer
I feel sorry to Rainsy because his political life is almost running out not because of his enemy but because of himself.When I compare him to his father,he behave the same thing.They both (father&son) can reach to the top leader but they can't because of their bavaviors.Father & son always think that they are the best and no one can compete them even the King.Take Cambodian poeple to your side,you will win over Hun Sen but not yourself.I don't hate you and I want to see you reach to the top.Change your behavior by hiring a specialst psychology to be your advicer.Merci beaucoup if you understand my broking English.

Pacific Partnership 2010 Completes Successful Mission in Cambodia
Released July 1, 2010
Pacific Partnership 2010 finished its mission in Cambodia on June 28, 2010, after 12 days of working alongside the people of Cambodia delivering a variety of humanitarian and civic assistance both ashore and aboard the hospital ship USNS Mercy (T-AH 19). This marks the first time Pacific Partnership has visited Cambodia.
“The time has flown by quickly and we should all take great pride in everything we have accomplished together in such a short time,” said Pacific Partnership 2010 Mission Commander, Capt. Lisa M. Franchetti. “We have enjoyed a warm and friendly welcome from the Cambodian people, and will long remember the friendships we have made and the inspiring times we have shared during our visit.”
Medical staff, Seabees, non-governmental organizations, partner nations, and other U.S. government personnel not only worked in their respective specialties in Sihanoukville, but extended their endeavors to Kampong Cham, Kampong Speu, Kampot, Kandal, Ratanakiri, and Takeo provinces.
In remote areas such as Ratanakiri, more than 300 miles away from Sihanoukville, medical personnel treated more than 700 patients per day for a variety of medical conditions, including cholera, chronic skin infections, respiratory infections, and malnutrition. Patients were also treated in Kampong Cham, Kampong Speu, Kampot, and Sihanouk provinces. In total, more than 29,000 people received care at these sites.
Aboard the USNS Mercy, medical personnel treated 536 patients and performed 286 surgeries. Various engineering civic action program (ENCAP) teams throughout the country carried out a variety of projects, including drilling three water wells and building two water towers, as well as renovating schools and children’s centers.
To coincide with the 60th anniversary of diplomatic relations between the U.S. and Cambodia, the USNS Mercy was instrumental in repatriating ancient Khmer artifacts to their ancestral homeland. The Governor of Sihanoukville, Sbong Sarath, five Buddhist monks, and a crowd of approximately 60 people gathered on the pier to watch the return of the relics. The artifacts included several Buddhist sculptures from the Angkor period, which spanned from 802 until 1431 A.D.

Whoever calls SR stupid , I am wondering how educated they are . I really like to see their education level . According to what I have seen , some Hun Sen's ass kissers , didn't even finish high school but claimed to be smart .
American don't care anymore about democracy. They care who in charge.
Unless Sam Rainsy tries to topple Hun Sen himself. Then you will see American will help him and join him afterward.
The US only helps when there's interest for them such as Iraq or Kuwait. They excuse to do that from the UN, but their intention is to control oil field.
The world don't trust the US and don't count on US anymore. They're not a superpower and democracy. They are dictor as well.
mr. sam rainsy, why you continue to fight with khmer? what is your agenda or purpose? are you perfect? are you popular? are you good for cambodia? how? and why? are you anti-social? are you living in the past? please wake up already!
