The Phnom Penh Post
The supreme Court has summoned opposition leader Sam Rainsy to appear for a hearing on February 16 in connection with his conviction for uprooting border demarcation posts in Svay Rieng province in October 2009.
In January last year, Svay Rieng provincial court sentenced the Sam Rainsy Party president in absentia to two years jail for destroying public property and racial incitement, a conviction that was upheld by the Appeal Court last October.
The Appeal Court also released two villagers – Meas Srey and Prum Chea – sentenced to a year in prison in connection with the incident.
According to a citation issued on January 21 by Supreme Court Deputy General Prosecutor Chhoun Chantha, Sam Rainsy has been summoned to appear at 8am with his lawyer Choung Choungy and the two villagers.
Choung Choungy said yesterday he has already asked for a postponement from the court. “Any day is okay provided that the court summons me next time,” he said.
He added that the appeal was filed to the Supreme Court late last year on behalf of Sam Rainsy, who is now living in self-exile in France.
“I have filed a grievance complaint to the Supreme Court to cancel the decision of the Appeal Court. I cannot say whether I am hopeful or not, but I will try my best to defend my clients,” Choung Choungy said.
“I would like to request the court to judge according to an independent stance. Don’t be under the influence of anyone.”
In a separate case, Phnom Penh Municipal Court sentenced Sam Rainsy to an additional 10 years jail in September, after convicting him of disinformation and falsifying public documents.
The charges stemmed from evidence he publicised on the SRP’s website and in video press conferences following his January conviction that also alleged Vietnamese encroachment on Cambodian territory.
Choung Choungy said an appeal against the conviction had been forwarded to the Appeal Court, but that a hearing date has not yet been set.
Chhoun Chantha could not be reached on Wednesday.

Everybody must remember the name of Suprem Court: CHUON CHANTHA,
never forget that name !
This is the dictator court!The traitor Hun xen,you will see what happen in the short time for you and the CPP?The people power will be soon.
I might be poliSickaly wronged, if our beloved SamRainsy won't initially have enough couragement to come back and unfrightfully challenge SenVarman's Kangagroo court, forgive for intentionally saying this, he will never be a next PM of Cambodia, because the SRP evidently has only a body, not a head!
I urge Mr. Sam Rainsy to come homeland: Cambodia. If the dictator Hun Sen put you in jail, then Khmer people will judge you as supreme hero.
We Khmer know that the Cambodian courts are biased toward to the dictator Hun Sen's side, hence Khmer people already know the verdict of your trial--that you will be sent to jail whether you are wrong or right.
Your imprisonment term will only enhance your chance to be Prime Minister of Cambodia sooner, because the Khmer people will support Mr. Sam Rainsy more than ever before.

PS
If Dr. Hun Sen and Dr. Hun Manet remove the tablet it is show they are extremely coward and his star are just joy stars given by his daddy not by patriotism. Dr. Hun Manet is very coward as his daddy they only aim to kill innocent cambodians that all. Dr. Hun SEn and Dr. ten stars Hun Manet are very great at bullying cambodians and killing Cambodians but cowardly toward Thai and Viet.
Seriously where is the win win policy of Dr. Hun Sen represent. The country is getting smaller and shamer by Dr. Hun Sen and Dr. Hun Manet.
Khmer court is run by the traitors and his gangs that is why when go to court you always lose even though you are right..
The judge is the traitor's gangs as well. so why would you bother to go to court it a wast of time and energy anyway.
The traitors will do any thing to stop you from speak out the true.
