Enforcing the law does not mean silencing the opposition (sic!): Tith Sothea

Translated from Khmer by Socheata

In response to the criticisms leveled by human rights group indicating the Cambodian government had tightened the freedom of expression in Cambodia, Tith Sothea, mouthpiece of the Press and Quick Reaction Unit (PQRU) of the Council of Ministers, declared that in a number of cases, the civil society’s freedom of expression was not right (sic!), i.e. they only express their opinion to ask for financial aid from foreign countries only (sic!). Tith Sothea said: “I think that the enforcement of the law does not mean silencing the civil society or the opposition party, but it is a mean to put down illegal activities for the sake of strengthening the law and democracy.” Nevertheless, the report on freedom of expression in Cambodia which was published on Tuesday by the Cambodian Center for Human Rights (CCHR) indicated that almost all the judges and the prosecutors have close ties with the ruling CPP party, and major players in the judicial system are no other than high-ranking CPP officials.

Oh, come on Tith Sothea; be honest with yourself and stop lying to the whole about your CPP government.

You know what they are up to. Shame on you who continue to lie to the public with full knowledge of your dirty action.

All spokesman who work for the government of Cambodia in everydepartment have to act stupid in order to hold on your their jobs. If they tell the truth of what's going on right now now they will get fired . It's shameful when you lie to yourself like Tith Sothea does.

Does this guy Tith Sothea think that NGOs , UN , CIVIL SOCIETY and Cambodian people are stupid ? He lies again and again even the prove is right there and he can see it too . You can lie to your kids but you cant do that to the public because alot of them are smarter than you Tith Sothea and they know exactly what's happening .

enforcing the law doesn't mean abusive, it's just mean enforcing the law, that's all! respect the law and you have no problem, really!

people would be educated about the law. they should start asking themselves why the law is necessary? why cambodia needs the rule of law, etc? i'm sure the law is there to for a purpose! we don't need lawlessness, you know!

Oh, no...no....no! Not in Cambodia. Rules of law only applied to the rich and powerful, not the poor.
Cambodian laws are place there for the rich/powerful to abuse and suppress the poor.
Don't believe me? Go see it for yourself.
