Cambodian military police stand guard in front of the Phnom Penh Capital Court of First Instance in Phnom Penh on September 23, 2010. Photo courtesy: AFP.PHNOM PENH, Thursday 23 September 2010 (AFP) - A Cambodian court on Thursday sentenced fugitive opposition leader Sam Rainsy to 10 years in jail for forging and publishing a false map of the border with Vietnam.
In January, Sam Rainsy, who lives in self-imposed exile in Europe, was already sentenced in absentia to two years in prison over a related conviction for uprooting border posts and inciting racial discrimination.
Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen maintains close relations with the Vietnamese regime but Sam Rainsy, whose political party shares his name, has repeatedly accused the government of ceding land to Vietnam.
His new conviction for forging public documents and disseminating false information relates to claims that he posted a "fake map" of the border on his party's website to show Vietnam was encroaching on Cambodian territory.
The government says the map depicts incorrect border markings.
"The acts of the suspect harm the good relationship between Cambodia and the Socialist Republic of Vietnam," said Ke Sakhorn, president of the judges' panel.
He added that Sam Rainsy's map was "manipulating" and aimed at "discrediting the government".
Sam Rainsy was also fined five million riel (1,100 US dollars) and ordered to pay the government compensation of 60 million riel (14,000 US dollars), the court said.
In the January conviction, Sam Rainsy and two villagers were found guilty of intentionally damaging temporary border posts in October last year.
No formal map has yet been agreed between the two countries.
Cambodia and Vietnam officially began demarcating their 1,270-kilometre (790-mile) border in September 2006 after decades of territorial disputes stemming from French colonial times.

Cambodian Court jailed Sam Rainsy for 10 years in absentia is the last nail on Sam Rainsy's coffin. From now on, Sam Rainsy's political career in Cambodia is done and dush. So, will SRP survive until the next election and beyond? Everyone can bet for it.

ReplyDeleteJust like the KR regime did not last, so the CPP will not last. Enjoy while you can, you corrupt CPP thugs.
ReplyDeleteCambodia will see another regime arise to replace the Hun Sen led, corrupt to the very core, CPP party.
The Viet will experience a backlash one day for their heavy handed in Cambodia.
Poor CPP members and supporters,

ReplyDeleteCorrupt authority, whether it be an abusive spouse or a dictator, employs secrecy to hide it’s true activities. Otherwise the subjects would have the wool pulled back from their eyes and see the authority unclothed.
ReplyDeleteCorrupt authority is understandably paranoid and threatened by the subjects it maintains control over and harvests wealth from. Corrupt authority tells nothing about itself and seeks to secretly know everything about the individual in name of “national security.” A constant state of war is necessary, and is produced to divert attention away from the true cause and to justify a police state of affairs. The cost of maintaining a police state is enormous, just ask the Ancient Romans if you could. More and more of the economy is always devoted to servicing the growing military/police state, but it cannot be sustained.
The end can turn out in different ways. Often the criminals behind the proverbial curtain will loot the treasury and escape, leaving the country burn. Or, a slow death in which the corruption saps perception of credibility from all authority, and authority is nothing without credibility. It is the people who give authority in the first place. The purpose of non-violent protests is to demonstrate this. However non-violent protests are generally isolated and for a finite time. In the end, people en-mass will walk away from the system itself, permanently, leaving it defenseless.
Do like Keo Remy, Joined Hun Sen.
