“What they have raised as a resolution of the IPU, I cannot accept it as a parliamentarian of Cambodia.” - CPP Cheam Yeap
A group of European parliamentarians says charges brought in Cambodia against opposition leader Sam Rainsy are more political than criminal.
The Inter-Parliamentarian Union issued a resolution this month calling on Cambodian authorities to “explore ways and means of resolving the issues at hand through political dialogue.”
Sam Rainsy, who is in exile abroad, is facing a 12-year jail sentence in two cases, for uprooting markers along the Vietnamese border and for posting a map on his party's website the government says falsely alleges Vietnamese border encroachment.
The Appeals Court this week upheld a guilty verdict in Sam Rainsy's border marker case, which carries a two-year sentence for destruction of property and incitement.
The IPU called on the government to “enable Mr. Sam Rainsy to resume his parliamentary activities as rapidly as possible.”
Government officials, including Prime Minister Hun Sen, have said the cases belong to the courts and will not be discussed beyond them.
The IPU said in its Oct. 6 resolution the cases “never should have been brought before the courts, but resolved at the political level.”
As a result of the charges, Sam Rainsy has been stripped of his parliamentary immunity. Meanwhile, his party and others must now prepare for commune elections in 2012 and national elections the following year.
The IPU said it was “particularly alarmed that, if upheld, this verdict would bar Mr. Sam Rainsy from standing in the 2013 parliamentary elections.”
The verdict would also have “consequences far beyond Mr. Sam Rainsy's case, as it is bound to affect the opposition,” the IPU said, calling recent prosecutions of other opposition supporters a narrowing of the political space and detrimental to the democratic process.
Cheam Yiep, a senior Cambodian People's Party lawmaker, said Sam Rainsy had broken the law and should face the legal ramifications.
“What they have raised as a resolution of the IPU, I cannot accept it as a parliamentarian of Cambodia,” he said, and he accused the IPU of “listening to the minority.”
The Sam Rainsy Party holds 26 of 123 National Assembly seats, compared to the CPP's 90.
“So they are paying attention only to 26 seats,” he said.
The IPU resolution calls for close monitoring of the developments of Sam Rainsy's legal cases.

What the hell is IPU? Idiot porn unit?
7:31 don't you known how to fucking read idiot!!
Hey 7:31AM,
we all know that you admire your leader Samdech whatever-the-rest-of-his-title-is Dr Dr Dr Dr Dr Hun Sen, but you don't have to copy every bit of his behaviour. Start thinking and reading for yourself for once. You've licked his arse long enough and often enough, so he won't notice if you give your tongue a rest now and then. Answers like yours only goes to show the truth about you and your party, and that is, you guys would do anything, say anything to put people down so that you can stay in power in Cambodia. Remember, friend, there had been many many dictators who had more brain and power than the title collector Hun Sen, and they still lost power. Your day will come, and when it does, you will face jail for knowingly supporting a traitor, and will be punished accordingly. And also remember, while people are able to forgive their enemies, they are less inclined to forgive one of their own who betrayed them. Now do us all a favour and read the article again. If it helps, you can it out loud, slowly!
Refering to this problem of illegal erection of decarmation in the privated property, Cambodian authority should first approached property owners before they can erect anything in privated property.
All people who have illegaly tressed pass privated properties should be prosecuted.
The action of Mr Sam Ransy of pulling those wooden posts was in his mandates to protect privated property ownership. There is no legal ground for the local authority to prosecute politician for protecting his citizen interest at all.
A political debate should be allowed for the opposition leader to challenge the government for this illegal decarmation in a privated property without approval from their owners. If all politician are using law for their political means, they should challenge if these laws to erect these posts were legal or not.
Now, it seems that laws in Cambodia are not credible, not reliable and the integrity of the court are not really protected by their judges, Mr Sam Ransy problem is not only requiring IPU but at UN level to come back and re-set up someting like UNTAC to review everything from the treaty of 23rd October 1991. Only all elected opposition members to declare State of emercy in Cambodia to wake up international community.

Dear Poster 8:05AM.
What I am doing for a living is not really relevent to what I am advocating for.
I am only want to see Cambodia is a country with good social justice, Rule of Laws, Full respect to all citizen right and their well being.
Each government and each leader must try to make Cambodia for a full democracy system, Freedom of speeches, freedom to economic participation from all walk of lives. The public servants must provide services to their citizen with in highest standard.
I suggest Cambodian politicians to learn the teaching of our great Lord Buddha who has told us about middle path and our Krom Ngoy who has told us to look after every sector of our society fabric.

ONE MAN STAND UP! NO KHMER IN THIS WORLD CAN RESIST LIKE AREAK PREY. TAKE A LOOK AT HIS PROFESSIONALISM ADVICE LIKE NO OTHERS. WE LOVED TO HEAR FROM YOU AND PLEASE KEEP YOUR ARTICLE UPDATED. I'VE READ EVERY COMMENTS YOU POSTED.
THANKS A MILLION...
What I have admired the most from a country of advance democracy?
I have invited by a Police policy maker to visit one of the Police Head office to see how their police is working.
Every citizen in the country included politician, public servants and leaders are to be treated the same as Client of the Police.
If you need police in Emergency, you either call 111 or 999, these calls will go into Call centre. The call centre will ask all information from caller for address, phone number and their problem, and then call centre will inform police near that caller for intervention or help.
No leader or No commander has their right to call police to arrest anyone at all.
Eceryone will be treated the same by National Police. The Minister of the Police can only check with police for reports of all problem and request them to solve people problem accordingly. The Prime Minister has nothing to do with Police at all.
Everyone will be treated equally by the Police.

Hey 7:31AM!
I am sure your blood pressure would rise to a maximum level to just allow you to live a little longer before suffering a stroke.
I know it's hard to read many references but that is the only way to win your debate not by swearing and being rude and restless.
There are different standard of expressing your view points. If you decide to join the civilize and sensible discussion, then behave yourself. Otherwise join the Karioke club with the drunken government officials in PP so you can enjoy the same language and ideas.
PS: If you think that techniques to swear and curse to be useful in this forum, you are dead wrong and you should know by now.
Respond to 7:31 am - IPU - stand for "Inter-Parliamentary Union". It is international organization similar to the United Nations (UN). It is an over 100 years old organization for Parliamentary Members which have over 100 nations are members. Cambodian is also the member of this organization. Cambodian became a member to IPU in 1997. If you would like to know more, go to www.ipu.org. Enjoy your reading!
OK - 7:31 am, Just in case you don't know how to research the interNet for IPU. Bellow is the small history of IPU:
"The IPU is the international organization of Parliaments (Article 1 of the Statutes of the Inter-Parliamentary Union). It was established in 1889.
The Union is the focal point for world-wide parliamentary dialogue and works for peace and co-operation among peoples and for the firm establishment of representative democracy.
To that end, it: Fosters contacts, co-ordination, and the exchange of experience among parliaments and parliamentarians of all countries;
Considers questions of international interest and concern and expresses its views on such issues in order to bring about action by parliaments and parliamentarians;
Contributes to the defence and promotion of human rights -- an essential factor of parliamentary democracy and development;
Contributes to better knowledge of the working of representative institutions and to the strengthening and development of their means of action.
The IPU supports the efforts of the United Nations, whose objectives it shares, and works in close co-operation with it. The Union also co-operates with regional inter-parliamentary organizations, as well as with international intergovernmental and non-governmental organizations which are motivated by the same ideals.
The IPU is financed primarily by its members out of public funds. The site of the Union's Headquarters is Geneva (Switzerland). "
IPU means "I Piss on U", according to Hun Sen. Sam Rainsy's political career is over. He has to go and kiss Ah Khwak Hun Sen's ass in order for him to go back to Cambodia, and he will never defeat CPP.
10:05 am - be constructive contribution to this blog. Don't wast people time to read your comment, but most importantly, don't wast your own time. Why don't you spend more time with your family....rather than come to read Ki media...

-- Ok, Areak Prey - do me a big favor, I want to know more about our Queen Mother, Moniquey, is she Khmer or is she Youn?

IPU - I pee on you. What a jerk!! Is that a gay organization because Sam is super gay
According to the insider Monique is Srey Yuon and Yuon Spy. Sihanouk is addicted her (P@%y) just like Jey Jaytha II, addicted Co-Chin-sin. and lost Kampuchea Krom to her #9. And Cambodia will be lost to Monique hand when Sihanuk is deceased .
We are the CPP left over people. We are "kan-cherse Hun Sen gangsters"
=== the world needs to follow footstep of IPU ... we think that HS'gov't is made of thief, we are the example of CPP.
=== CPP did not have many supporters, those who support CPP are mainly Pourk Youn hidding in Shrok Khmer since 1979 on ward.
=== HS gets advices from his Hanoid Master, what is their next move.
=== We cpp gangster support SR for freedom , the real freedom, so we dont have to go beg or steal from people no more like under HS regime.
=== HS is an ignorant man, he has no idea what to do with his life, he just sit home and get order from Hanoid.
We CPP in PP is protesting that HS is not a true leader, he is not a good man. We want toget rid of HS and his gangster like Cheap Yeap he is so stupid ass.
sincerely ..... CPP members in PP

Bravo Areak Prey you hit the nail on the head. The UN need to come to the party rather than turning to a blind eye on the current development the CPP government has destroy Cambodia more than any of the Khmer Government in recent history.
