APPEL A LA SOLIDARITE PARLEMENTAIRE INTERNATIONALE
Je m’appelle Sam Rainsy. Je suis député du Cambodge, un élu du suffrage universel, et le dirigeant de la deuxième force politique de mon pays.Parce que je dirige une opposition critique à l’égard du gouvernement je suis persécuté avec acharnement par celui-ci et le parti au pouvoir qui est de type totalitaire.
En 1995 j’ai été expulsé inconstitutionnellement de l’Assemblée nationale, mais ai pu retrouver mon siège de député aux élections suivantes.
A chaque élection mon parti a recueilli un nombre accru de voix et obtenu un plus grand nombre de sièges à l’Assemblée nationale.
Mais le 16 mars 2011 j’ai été à nouveau expulsé de l’Assemblée nationale, de manière tout aussi inconstitutionnelle que la fois précédente, de par la seule volonté des dirigeants du parti au pouvoir.
Au cours des quinze dernières années j’ai échappé à plusieurs tentatives d’assassinat, comme une attaque à la grenade particulièrement meurtrière en 1997, mais environ quatre-vingts membres et sympathisants de mon parti ont été assassinés.
Le parti au pouvoir ne se contente pas d’attenter à ma vie ou de m’expulser de l’Assemblée nationale, il s’est aussi arrangé pour enlever mon immunité parlementaire et me faire condamner à des peines de prison à de multiples reprises. La dernière fois remonte seulement au début de cette année quand j’ai été condamné à un total de 12 années d’emprisonnement sur des accusations de nature purement politique. J’ai été donc contraint à m’exiler provisoirement en France.
Mon seul crime tient au fait que j’ose imperturbablement dénoncer la corruption et les violations des droits de l’homme, et défendre les habitants du pays qui m’ont élu comme leur représentant.
En 2006 j’ai reçu le Prix pour la Liberté attribué par l’Internationale Libérale.
Dans une décision des 12-15 juillet 2010 de son Comité sur les Droits de l’Homme des Parlementaires, l’Union Interparlementaire à Geneve “réaffirme que l’action judiciaire à l’encontre de Mr. Sam Rainsy est sans rapport avec le délit qu’on lui attribue”.
Un communiqué daté 14 septembre 2010 d’une coalition de 16 ONG de droits de l’homme précise: “Le gouvernement a utilisé les tribunaux pour réduire au silence les voix critiques à l’encontre de son action touchant la confiscation de terres, la corruption et les conflits frontaliers”. Autre précision: “Les accusations [contre Sam Rainsy et d’autres contestataires] sont de nature politique”.
Dans sa résolution sur le "Cambodge, en particulier le cas de Sam Rainsy" adopté le 21 octobre 2010, le Parlement européen "condamne les verdicts fondés sur des motivations politiques à l'encontre de représentants de l'opposition et d'ONG, en particulier ceux prononcés à l'encontre de Sam Rainsy". La résolution dénonce le fait que "la stratégie du parti au pouvoir au Cambodge consiste à utiliser une justice servile pour museler toute critique à l'encontre du gouvernement". [Pour lire le texte entier de la résolution, aller à http://tinyurl.com/284ps3v].
Dans sa décision du 17 janvier 2011, l’Union Interparlementaire "considère qu’il devient urgent de revoir le cas de Mr. Sam Rainsy et de le réhabiliter et demande aux autorités, y compris le Parlement, de prendre sans tarder les mesures adéquates afin de permettre à Mr. Sam Rainsy de reprendre sa place légitime au sein de l’Assemblée nationale." [Pour lire le texte entier de la décision, aller à http://tinyurl.com/6yrt4t4].
Je fais appel à votre solidarité en tant que collègue parlementaire. Vous pourriez grandement m’aider en demandant au gouvernement de votre pays de faire pression sur les autorités étatiques du Cambodge, un pays dont la survie dépend de l’aide internationale, de sorte que je puisse reprendre mon travail de député dans des conditions acceptables et continuer à promouvoir la démocratie dans mon pays.
Je vous en remercie.
Sam Rainsy

The appeal is too broad to be of any effect. He needs some devoted friends whom he has none to fight for his cause.

Sir,
Before we could work something out to help you, please clarify what you really want: the parliamentary work that requires the MP status and immunity, or what?
The World MPs
My name is Sam Rainsy Aka Sam Runsy. I am an elected member of parliament of Cambodia and the leader of myself name political party SRP.
As the leader of a provocative opposition I have been persecuted by the ruling party and government of Cambodia.
In 1995, I was expelled from the National Assembly because of FUNCINPEC had kicked me out from the party, but I managed to recover my parliamentary seat following subsequent elections.
At every election my party collected more popular votes and gained very little parliamentary seats.
But on 16 March 2011, I was again stripped of my parliamentary seat and constitutionally expelled from Parliament by a decision from over 2/3 members of Parliament.
Over the last fifteen years I have escaped and always ran to overseas whenever I was charged by Cambodian Court because I am really afraid to spend jail time in Cambodia. The last time was earlier this year when I was sentenced to a total of 12 years in jail. I have therefore no choice but to go into exile in France.
My crime is my uprooting the border posts and used a fake map to run a smear camgaign against the government, but I invented that my only crime is my unyielding denunciation of corruption and human rights abuses and my unwavering defense of the people who have elected me as their representative.
In 2006, I received the Prize for Freedom from Liberal International.
So far there were decision (12-15 July 2011) of the Committee on the Human Rights of Parliamentarians, the Inter-Parliamentary Union in Geneva, A 14 September 2010 statement of a coalition of 16 Human Rights NGOs, In its 21 October 2010 "Resolution on Cambodia in the case of Sam Rainsy", the European Parliament, and in its 17 January 2011 decision, the Inter-Parliamentary Union. But still can't help me to get back to Cambodia at all.
Despite in recently, I have said to the media that I don't need to negotiation or political solution with Cambodian government, but I call on your solidarity as fellow parliamentarian. Please help me by asking the government of your country to put pressure on the authorities of Cambodia, which are heavily dependent on international aid, so that I can resume my parliamentary work in acceptable conditions and continue to provoke the government in the name of promote democracy in Cambodia.
Thank you.

Sam Rainsy's political career in Cambodia is dead in the water, Longlive Sam Rainsy!!!
KAMPUCHEA KROM AT A GLANCE
Kampuchea Krom is composed of 68,965 square kilometers, 21 provinces and municipalities, two large islands - Koh Tral and Koh Tralach, 171 districts, 1,368 communes, 14,778 villages, more than 13 million Khmers, more than 567 Buddhist pagodas and more than 20,000 Theravada Buddhist monks.
99% of populations are Theravada Buddhists.
The Khmer kings, governments, regimes and citizens have never relinquish (give up) this part of their country to foreigners.
Kampuchea Krom has been under an ongoing colonial control since her division from motherland, Cambodia.
June 4, 1949 is the date that the Khmer Kampuchea Krom citizens grieve. The Khmer Kampuchea Krom people have organized Buddhist Service annually to honor the fallen Khmer Buddhist monks and heroes, who sacrificed their lives for Kampuchea Krom and Theravada Buddhism.
Colonial France divided, ceded and transferred Kampuchea Krom to colonial Vietnam on this date. The freedom of Khmer Kampuchea Krom has been mostly stripped by the Vietnamese ruling regimes and governments since. The French colonial administration committed injustice upon the more than 13 million Khmers of this beautiful fertile land.
Justice remains elusive for Cambodia, Kampuchea Krom and her citizens.
And...The struggle to regain freedom and human rights by the Khmers in Kampuchea Krom continues as long as injustice commits by the ruling Vietnamese regime(s) has not produced a fruitful result.
Koh Tral (Tral Island)
in Vietnamese - Phu Quoc island
circa 1939 Vietnamese encroached and conquered
Koh Tral Island has an area of 567 square kilometers; about 62 kilometers long and between 3 kilometers and 28 kilometers wide. The island physically is located closest to Cambodia's Kep seaside city. Visitors can see Koh Tral Island from the coastline of Kep. It is about a 30-minute motorized boat ride.

Koh Tral Island must not be forgotten
By Ms. Rattana Keo
Why do Koh Tral Island, known in Vietnam as Phu Quoc, a sea and land area covering proximately over 10,000 km2 [Note: the actual land size of Koh Tral itself is 574 square kilometres (222 sq miles)] have been lost to Vietnam by whose treaty? Why don’t Cambodia government be transparent and explain to Cambodia army at front line and the whole nation about this? Why don't they include this into education system? Why?
Cambodian armies are fighting at front line for 4.6 km2 on the Thai border and what's about over 10,000km2 of Cambodia to Vietnam. Nobody dare to talk about it! Why? Cambodian armies you are decide the fate of your nation, Cambodian army as well as Cambodian people must rethink about this again and again. Is it fair?
Koh Tral Island, the sea and land area of over 10,000 square kilometres have been lost to Vietnam by the 1979 to 1985 treaties. The Cambodian army at front line as well as all Cambodian people must rethink again about these issues. Are Cambodian army fighting to protect the Cambodia Nation or protecting a very small group that own big lands, big properties or only protecting a small group but disguising as protecting the Khmer nation?
The Cambodian army at front lines suffer under rain, wind, bullets, bombs, lack of foods, lack of nutrition and their families have no health care assistance, no securities after they died but a very small group eat well, sleep well, sleep in first class hotel with air conditioning system with message from young girls, have first class medical care from oversea medical treatments, they are billionaires, millionaires who sell out the country to be rich and make the Cambodian people suffer everyday.
Who signed the treaty 1979-1985 that resulted in the loss over 10,000 km2 of Cambodia??? Why they are not being transparent and brave enough to inform all Cambodians and Cambodian army at front line about these issues? Why don't they include Koh Tral (Koh Tral size is bigger than the whole Phom Phen and bigger than Singapore [Note: Singapore's present land size is 704 km2 (271.8 sq mi)]) with heap of great natural resources, in the Cambodian education system?
Look at Hun Sen's families, relatives and friends- they are billionaires, millionaires. Where did they get the money from when we all just got out of war with empty hands [in 1979]? Hun Sen always say in his speeches that Cambodia had just risen up from the ashes of war, just got up from Year Zero with empty hands and how come they are billionaires, millionaires but 90% of innocent Cambodian people are so poor and struggling with their livelihood every day?
Smart Khmer girl Ms. Rattana Keo,
Smart Khmer girl Ms. Rattana Keo, I like it when you repeat. It is very important. I miss my biggest island, Koh Tral, in Cambodia sea. It is illegal for Vietnamese to occupy the island of Koh Tral. I remember when I was 12 in Toul Tom Poung High School in Phnom Penh, I studied geography and world map.
Now, I am shocked to see the Google map, Google Earth and Wikipedia, Vietnam renamed Koh Tral to be Phu Quoc (that sounds like Chinese tonal). All Khmer people will bring this issue to the International court and claim that Vietnam illegally occupied after 1979 and allowed illegal Vietnamese people to settle there without permission from Cambodia. That is similar the situation about many illegal Vietnamese people living and occupying in Cambodia. They broke the law.
Also, Hun Sen broke the peace agreement in 1990 in Paris.
So, thanks for posting these articles. I really appreciated your non-stop effort. Bravo!
