Nicolas Dupont-Aignan: "Sam Rainsy, victim of legal harassment" because Hun Sen wants “to silence him”
On 15 April 2011, Mr. Nicolas Dupont-Aignan, an independent Member of Parliament from Essonne, wrote to Alain Juppé, the Minister of Foreign and European Affairs, asking him to intervene with the Phnom Penh regime in the case of Cambodian opposition leader Sam Rainsy who is currently living in exile in France.
Here are the salient points of Mr. Nicolas Dupont-Aignan’s letter:
"I am drawn [...] to the situation of Cambodian MP Sam Rainsy.
On the grounds that he tirelessly denounced corruption, violation of human rights, murderous border disputes, Mr. Sam Rainsy was persecuted for the past 15 years by the Phnom Penh regime.
After escaping an assassination attempt in 1997 which claimed the lives of [many] members of the opposition party which he chairs, Sam Rainsy is now a victim of judicial persecution.
While his action is supported and recognized by the international community and while the European Parliament, which issued a resolution dated 21 October 2010 [in this regard], denounced the actions perpetrated against the opposition in general and against Sam Rainsy in particular, the Cambodian Executive expelled him from the National Assembly and deprived him of his parliamentary immunity and sentenced him to a heavy prison term to silence him.
Sam Rainsy’s case shows the true nature of the Cambodian regime which, under cover of a fake parliamentary democracy, preserves all the traits of an autocratic dictatorship inherited from the former dictatorship.
The EU cannot ignore the repression suffered by the opposition representatives in Cambodia, and it must intervene with this country’s government so that Sam Rainsy and all elected officials who represent the voice of the voters can find their place in the Parliament and their right to speak.
Therefore, I would be very grateful if you would pass along the appeal on behalf Sam Rainsy to your Cambodian counterparts."

NICOLAS DUPONT-AIGNAN: “SAM RAINSY VICTIME D’UN ACHARNEMENT JUDICIAIRE” PARCE QUE HUN SEN VEUT “LE FAIRE TAIRE”
Monsieur Nicolas DUPONT-AIGNAN, Député de l’Essonne n’appartenant à aucun groupe politique, a écrit le 15 avril 2011 à Monsieur Alain JUPPÉ, Ministre des Affaires étrangères et européennes, pour lui demander d’intervenir auprès des Autorités de Phnom Penh sur le cas du chef de l’opposition cambodgienne SAM RAINSY qui vit actuellement en exil en France.
Voici les points les plus importants dans l'intervention du Député Nicolas DUPONT-AIGNAN :
« Mon attention a été attirée […] sur la situation du Député Cambodgien SAM RAINSY.
Au motif qu’il dénonce inlassablement la corruption, la violation des droits de l’homme, et les conflits frontaliers meurtriers, Monsieur SAM RAINSY est persécuté depuis 15 ans, par les Autorités de Phnom Penh.
Après avoir échappé en 1997 à un attentat ayant coûté la vie à [de nombreux] membres du parti d’opposition qu’il préside, SAM RAINSY est aujourd’hui victime d’un acharnement judiciaire.
Bien que son action soit soutenue et reconnue par la communauté internationale, et que le Parlement européen, dans sa résolution du 21 octobre 2010, ait dénoncé les agissements perpétrés à l’encontre de l’opposition en général et de SAM RAINSY en particulier, l’Exécutif Cambodgien l’a expulsé de l’Assemblée nationale, privé de son immunité parlementaire et condamné à une lourde peine de prison pour le faire taire.
Le cas de SAM RAINSY illustre la vraie nature du régime Cambodgien qui, sous couvert d’une apparence de démocratie parlementaire, a conservé les réflexes autocratiques de l’ancienne dictature.
L’Union européenne ne saurait ignorer la répression dont sont victimes les représentants de l’opposition au Cambodge, et se doit d’intervenir auprès du Gouvernement de ce pays pour que SAM RAINSY et tous les Elus qui incarnent le suffrage universel retrouvent leur place au sein du Parlement et leur droit de parole dans la cité.
C’est pourquoi, je vous serais très reconnaissant de bien vouloir relayer l’appel lancé par SAM RAINSY auprès de vos homologues cambodgiens. »

He would not have fled the country and asked every one for help for him to return. Nobel Peace Price recipient Aung San Suu Kyi has brilliantly won the 1990 general election in Burma, but she never had the idea of fleeing the country and instead had chosen to confront the generals from the prison when they refused to cede power. She is heroic, a leader worthy of the name. Why did Rainsy helped Hun Sen in changing the constitution with respect to the parliamentary majority of three quarters to a simple majority of 50 + 1?, a requirement of the 1991 Paris Peace Agreement? As always his personal interest takes the command in all of his political maneuvers. Why doesn’t he talk about what really happened on the border? Why doesn’t he talk about Nguyen Tan Dung asking HS to do on this matter? He used to boast about putting HS at foreign and international courts, but why he kept silence now? Yes he is a fallen hero victim of he own arrogance, his own political ambitions, his narrow view of the national unity. His stubborn refusal to form a larger coalition with other opposition parties reflects all of this.
"To win we must above all not to be mistaken for enemy. If you mess up an opponent, you may well have the best weapons in the world, you've already lost because you not only pull alongside, but you could also risk of feeding the fire of your opponent. "nobody perfect in this world.
it is ignorant for someone to say sam rainsy is iconic of cambodia. he's not! it is suited to say aung san suu kyi is iconic of burmese pepole because she chose to stay in jail, while sam rainsy chose to run away and hide outside of cambodia. so, there's the difference between the two people. while burmese people see suu kyi as their heroine, khmer people do not see sam rainsy as their hero. instead, we see him as a coward, always running away and hide overseas with dual citizenship both france and cambodia! you see the difference! good point, 7:41pm!
