The Funcinpec party issued a declaration on 31 July opposing the anonymous leaflets who named themselves “Preap In Spirit” or “an innocent Cambodian who died under the Khmer Rouge regime” and blamed the former monarch, King Norodom Sihanouk, by linking him to the responsibility of the killings perpetrated under the Pol Pot regime. Funcinpec’s declaration was made under its name as a royalist party and as Sihanoukist. Funcinpec strongly condemns the unfair accusations made against King-Father through this anonymous leaflet, and considers this as a cheap act perpetrated by a group of cowards who do not dare confront the truth openly, and they use this method to attack on the royal institution. This declaration stated that this accusation is a subversion to create confusion in the Cambodian society, and it also demands that the government take “hot” measures to seek the unfair persons and sentence them to the maximum of the law.
