Phnom Penh city – Following a morning-long questioning in the lawsuit case against opposition leader Sam Rainsy who was [falsely] accused of falsification of documents involving the border issues, the Phnom Penh municipal court judge did not announce the sentence in this case yet. The sentence will be delayed to 23 September 2010.
Ky Tech, the government lawyer, sued opposition leader Sam Rainsy on 28 February 2010, accusing him of falsification of public documents involving eastern border with Vietnam.
During the hearing held in the morning of 08 September without the presence of Sam Rainsy, all questions were handled by Chuong Chou-ngy, Sam Rainsy’s defense lawyer. Several opposition MPs and officials showed up to the hearing, they all claimed that this case is politically motivated. Nevertheless, government officials always claimed the opposite, and they said that this is merely the application of the law.
Sam Rainsy was sentenced to 2-year of jail time by the Svay Rieng provincial court at the beginning of 2010 , he was also ordered to pay a fine of close to 60 million riels for the uprooting of border stakes on 25 October 2009 in Chantrea district, Svay Rieng province. Currently, Sam Rainsy is living in self-exile overseas.

The government is so afraid of Sam Rainsy that it is constantly trying to divide his members and supporters (e.g. the appropriation of the name Khmer Nation Party, so that he had to change to this eponymous SRP) and encourage other figures to play oppositional leaders, e.g. Kem Sokha. This government is constantly up to dirty tricks, now more and more using the court as its main weapon of choice.
ReplyDeleteWe have sympathy with people who never had opportunities to acquire formal education. We should have no patience with individuals like Ky Tech who have higher education "degrees" but are happy to act stupid and be the tool shamelessly for the power. This is a society that grooms people to act stupid - to see nothing, to hear nothing. It is a society that rewards foul play. At every level of society.
ReplyDeleteCambodians will never know real justice system because Hun Sen is PM, Hun Sen will remain PM all life long, Hun Sen names judges, Hun Sen has right to remove judges, how judges could be juste ?
ReplyDeleteAny monkey could understand that.
