Sam Rainsy Party: New NGO law puts constitutional rights at serious risk





Sam Rainsy Party (LI Observer) Members of Parliament continue to raise their concerns over the Cambodian government's draft for a new NGO Law, which, if adopted, will infringe extensively on freedoms of expression and association and allow government control over NGO's and their activities. In an exclusive comment to LI News, Mu Sochua MP, President of the Sam Rainsy Party's Women's Wing, said: 'Civil society in Cambodia is the target of the current one-party system. The voices of the people will be crushed with the passing on the NGO Law. Civil society has been key in ringing the alarm bell on corruption, violations of human rights and instrumental in providing people in the grassroots information and training on advocacy. This law takes Cambodia to the years of silence where all liberties and rights will be ignored. We do not need these years of darkness.' The final version of the controversial draft law was released late last month, causing pervasive upset among civil society activists, due to only marginal changes to the opposed versions debated earlier this year.

Hi Everyone,

One of KI-Media member who has his name in Facebook as Khmer Sovannaphumi but his real name is Pang Sokhoeun, former political asylum and now living in Sweden. He always copies news from here to post in his facebook profile to promote himself, but right now, he tries to remove and blocked anyone who dares to reveal his con activity particular he tries to hide what he has cheated his wife (Sreypov Chea) by having a girlfriend (Sokunthear Sam) behind his wife back. Now, his girlfriend had run way from him after she knew his cheating.

A con man Pang Sokhoeun as well as KI-Media like to insult to the government officers who have affairs, but himself does even worse than other people. What a shame!

When one person had posted in KI-Media and accused that a con man Pang Sokhoeun is a brother of Som Ek (former Chief of Tiger's head sign guerilla, who was arrested and put in prison by Cambodian government) during that time, a cheater Pang Sokhoeun came to deny in his blogs immediately and had pointed the blame to Mr. Sourn Serey Rotha, but this time, he has bury his head in the sand because he cannot deny the truth that he has cheated his wife. Right now, all he can do is removed and blocked anyone who dared to reveal his cheating.
