Mom Kunthear, The Phnom Penh Post, August 2, 2013
Cambodia National Rescue Party supporters in two provinces have alleged death threats from local ruling party officials, including a CPP working group chief and a commune police chief, since Sunday’s election.
Two days after the Cambodian People’s Party announced the CNRP had gained 22 seats in the National Assembly, two brothers fled their home in Kandal province’s Kien Svay district following what Ol Sokleng, 27, described as a run-in with a menacing mob of CPP youth.
“My brother escaped [the mob] on Monday, and I fled my home on Tuesday after about 10 people from the CPP threatened to kill us,” Sokleng said.
Ol Chandeoun, Sokleng’s 30-year-old brother, angered local CPP members on Sunday when he prevented Ngor Sovann, chief of Kokithom commune’s CPP working group, from walking from one voting booth to another in what he believed to be an attempt to vote multiple times, Sokleng said.
The following night, the group of CPP supporters, including Sovann, came to the family’s home, looking for Chandeoun, Sokleng said. When Sokleng and his parents refused to tell them where they could find Chandeoun, they turned their wrath onto his family, Sokleng said.
“A man took a gun and pointed it at me,” Sokleng said. “They left saying that they would kill me and my family members.”
Since the brothers fled their home, their mother, Kol Ran, 51, filed complaints with the commune police and rights group Adhoc, she said.
Sovann could not be reached for comment yesterday, but denied involvement in the alleged incident during an appearance on Voice of America radio.
Kokithom commune police chief Nou Pipo said the department was still investigating.
In a separate incident, complaints were filed by Kampong Cham CNRP candidate Kouy Bunreoun after five CNRP youths told him Chanmol commune police chief Nor Chan Monyroth threatened to kill them with a grenade because of their affiliation, Bunreoun said.
Bunreoun has filed complaints on their behalf with Memot district police and Provincial Election Committee officials, and appealed to the Interior Ministry for Monyroth’s arrest, he said.
Monyroth could not be reached for comment

We don't need no fucking red highlights to read the text, stupid!
As a Cambodian-American and on behalf of Cambodian people in Cambodia and abroad (overseas), it is critically imperative that the CNRP MUST set up another committee to report death threats and intimidation before, during and after the election.
Our triumphant ballots have been a milestone election for the CNRP and its supporters. This is a "VICTORY" and "JUSTICE" for Cambodia and its people—who once palpable powerlessness—and this is ignominious defeat for the CPP—who once was unassailable and impregnable.

Just tell us where the Chief and the police live?? they want war we going to give them one. Khmer is not the same as the 80 and 90 anymore....
Since most of the NGOs leaders are with CNRP (usually it's should not be like that. NGOs must be independant from polical's parties),
so we don't need another committee created by CNRP.
And some of the NGOs are doing these jobs already.
And I think to be really independant from political parties,
cambodians voters should create an independant committee themself,
for frauds, death threats, etc.
But such committee cration is impossible.
It's always related to a party.
Even NGOs is not independant.
But, still they want to chase Yuons.
It's good though !
hey 8:21 PM there is only you so I don't think WE are with you!
Rainsy will lose the supporters out of these intimidation for sure.

hi to all my khmer brothers and sisters,i am from india and i am a political analyst working for U.N. the truth about cambodia is simple hun sen will continue to rule un-interrupted(HE HAS ALREADY GIVEN A STATEMENT SAYING THAT HE WILL CONTINUE AS PRIME MINISTER EVEN WITHOUT CNRP) . if the khmer people don't fight back AND keep waiting for SAM RAINSY to do a miracle then it will not happen because if sam rainsy was capable of kicking hun sen out then he would have done it in 1999,2003,2008. i can assure u that though US AND UN will protest diplomatically against hun sen ,they will not interfere militarly in cambodia and they will recognize hun sen just as they have done for the past 30 years.the true power lies in the hands of beautiful people of cambodia.its saddens me to see this beautiful country being looted and demolished by this thug HUN SEN
Stolen! Another election stolen by CPP! Hun Sen steals election in broad daylight.
Thieves never change their character to steal.
And Hun Sen will use force to crush CNRP. Hun Sen and CPP will never give up power and money. They will never accept that they lose. the Only way is to crush and kick Hun Sen and CPP out until they run.

Cpp is vulgar
9:26PM You have a brilliant vision and prediction and you made the point.
To the 1st @ 8:21 PM
You are either dumb or stupid, and next time don’t use the word ‘WE’.
Why are you here, if you don’t like it?
Hun Sen wants to go down the same way Sadam, Qadafi et al did.
We have to understand how Hun Sen’s head works. He does not care about the loss of a million of innocent lives as long as he can cling on to power, and the West should understand that too.
2:25AM Why rely on the west? You think they give a damn and sacrifice one life of their soldier this is your own house you have to clean your own shit, why the west has to understand stupid??fvnalycl
3:26 AM
I just want the West to understand how Hun Sen’s head works.
Do you have a problem in understanding that, dumb ass?
the west they understand and smarter than your jack ass, they know him very well but what you expect from them? Clean the shit in your house for you? LMAO
Oh yeah, you are welcome to come and clean up the shit in my house.
And no, you overestimate the intelligence of the Westerners, dumb ass.
