Cambodia opposition calls for release of 4 people arrested for inciting violence

PHNOM PENH, Aug. 18 (Xinhua) -- The main opposition Cambodia National Rescue Party (CNRP) on Sunday urged the authorities to free four people accused of inciting armed forces to topple the government.
"The CNRP totally condemns the authorities for arresting 4 people when they just gave flower and drinking water to soldiers deployed in Phnom Penh City at the behest of the government," the party's statement said. "This is a serious violation of individual 's rights and freedom of expression, which are secured by laws and Cambodian constitution."
It said the party urged the authorities to free them immediately and unconditionally so that they could meet families and continue their work and studies.
The National Police announced Saturday that the four suspects including two women were arrested for producing and distributing hundreds of leaflets, aiming at inciting violence to topple the government.
"The arrest was made on Thursday when the suspects had been producing and distributing hundreds of leaflets, appealing to armed forces to use weapons to overthrow the government," said a statement of the National Police.

"This action is a criminal offence that will be punished based on the Penal Code, and it is not the legal rights and freedom or political activity," it said.
The Phnom Penh Municipal Police has already brought the 4 suspects to the city's court for legal action.
According to the statement, the suspects had given out those pamphlets at the behest of Suon Sereyratha, president of the Khmer People Power Movement, a U.S.-based, self-proclaimed "civil political movement" against the Cambodian government.
Suon Sereyratha, who is currently living overseas, is wanted by Cambodian police for inciting criminal conduct.
Cambodia's political tension has been on the rise since the National Election Committee released the initial results of the July 28 election Monday, showing the ruling Cambodian People's Party of Prime Minister Hun Sen won a majority of vote, but the CNRP leader Sam Rainsy rejected the results, claiming serious irregularities during the poll.
Soldiers and police with armored vehicles have been deployed on the outskirts of Phnom Penh, the capital of Cambodia, since last week after the opposition repeatedly threatened to call mass protest against the election results.

Whoever become the next Khmer government ( except Hun Sen and their gangs ) must include these 4 Khmer students on Khmer heroes lists and write their bravery in Khmer history.

Those 4 students win my heart as well as many other Khmer both home and abroad.

They must be released without any condition.

Hun Sen needs to make your own decision now ( 08/19/13 ), not your Yuon boss or anyone else.

If you step down from power now, your entire families may live peacefully.

We have nothing to lose but Hun and dynasty have everything to lose. Cambodia belongs to Cambodians, not the Hun dynasty. We must fight for what is rightfully ours. I urge army and armed forces to help our unarm protesters, e.g please turn the guns onto those who order to harm them because they are unarmed and needed to be protected. If you recieve message through mobile phone, please refuse to take such order and please rase up the white flag to let our people know that you are not going to harm them but as a friendly service.

All personal armed forces must listen to our newly elected leader Sam Rainsy and Kem Sokha only, once the good job is done, you will be one of the top commanders of state, will gain a 5 stars general, as there will be no good deed is hidden, please be our heroes and not zero. It is better go for dying to live, than living to die, really. Because if the good do nothing the evil will win for sure.
