Opposition Leader Meets German Officials

“Once people are frustrated, the only way out for them is through popular uprisings."
Opposition leader Sam Rainsy made a two-day visit to Germany this week in search of support for a return to Cambodia.

Sam Rainsy is facing 12 years in prison if he returns to Cambodia, on a series of charges stemming from his contention that Cambodia is losing land to Vietnamese encroachment.

Observers say it is increasingly unlikely a legal resolution will allow him to return ahead of elections in 2012 and 2013 and that a political solution must be found instead.

Sam Rainsy met with several senior officials, including the president of German’s parliament, Norbert Lammert.


Sam Rainsy told VOA Khmer he had raised the issues of land grabbing and fraudulent elections as areas of concern for Germany.

“Once an election is filled with fraud and voters cannot change their leaders because their dictatorial leaders have stolen the election results…this leads to a loss of trust in the elections,” he said in a phone interview. “Once people are frustrated, the only way out for them is through popular uprisings. This is what [German officials] don’t want to see.”

Sam Rainsy, who visited the US on a similar trip last month, has warned that social injustice like poverty, corruption, land grabs and the restriction of freedoms has the potential to cause unrest similar to that which Arab states are currently facing.

However, Cambodia’s ambassador to the US, Hem Heng, told VOA Khmer this was a “bad intention.”

“Right now Cambodia has achieved national unity, peace and security for economic development,” he said. “If we wants Cambodia to be like some countries in the Middle East, it means he wants Cambodia to plunge into Hell again.”

Hem Heng said Cambodians are tired of war, and he characterized popular uprisings as “undemocratic.”

Me undeniably agree w/ Hem Heng, we Khmer are psychologically tired of war, that's the simple reason why he and his Dog's boss, SenVarman, still keep continuing and ruling the poor and miserable Khmer people, but evidently speaking, the CPPers always constantly wish the regime is continuously stable this way, therefore so do their stable jobs. Imagine, if our miserably shrinking nation will eventually change, a few of high ranking CPP's folks will not only lose their job or corruptional money, but they will also end up jail!

To all those CPP pigs watching and monitoring this site: Your English sucks. It shows your elementary level of education because the fact is most of you pigs are educated and deeply corrupted. That's a dangerous combination for Cambodian and Cambodia. The CPP is illegit and you traitors cannot tolerate criticism.

In reply to Hem Heng's comment: Cambodia does NOT have national unity, peace, or security for economic development. Apparently you haven't been to Cambodia lately. Perhaps you're out of touch with the reality in Cambodia. Those of us who are familiar with the situation and watching Cambodia closely know the reality is different from your statement. I am sure your master the Vietcongs prepared that statement for you to read. Nice try.
