I agree with the US Embassy's confidential cable, attached, that Mr. Sam Rainsy did not pull the boundary stakes as he has been accused and convicted by Samdech Hun Sen's Court. There is no evidence whatsoever that Sam Rainsy even touched the boundary stakes before or after they were pulled up. TB

COMMENT

¶10. (SBU) In both the prelude to the hearing and the
reaction to the verdict, the SRP appeared uninterested in
addressing the actual charges of Rainsy's role in property
destruction and incitement, and instead focused on the larger
issue of whether the border markers are improperly placed
(Ref B). Rainsy continues to claim sole responsibility for
the removal of the temporary border markers, despite video
showing he did not physically uproot them but brandished them
for the cameras after others had pulled them up (Ref A). With the January 27 verdict, Rainsy cannot return to Cambodia
unless he goes to prison or receives a pardon, which requires
agreement of the government. In the meantime, without a
leader present in Cambodia able to project a confident image
and articulate opposition perspectives, the SRP faces tough
decisions about what to do next and the ultimate direction of
their party. In the end, most find it difficult to imagine
how Rainsy's stunt will increase the SRP's political
relevance in Cambodia, despite the headlines it attracted by
Rainsy's very visible and vocal efforts to mobilize
anti-Vietnam passion while most of Cambodia's population was
focused on Thai border issues. However the SRP emerges from
this incident, it is clear that -- at least for now -- the
playing field for opposition politics has been reduced as a
result.

"In October 2009, Rainsy led local residents at the Cambodia-Vietnam border in a protest against alleged Vietnamese encroachment on Cambodian territory, in which he was alleged to have encouraged villagers to uproot border markings he claimed to have been illegally placed by Vietnam."

What is the news?
He never was charged of pulling out the border marks himself.
That's a newpaper clipping.
Th fact is the local people led Sam Rainsy from the temple to their ricefields and showed him the encroachment stakes. They, the locals, pulled them up. Not Sainsy. Rainsy was not charged with inciting people to pull up the stakes.
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 30,000 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 30,000km2 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 30,000 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 30,000 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?
