During the Khmer New Year period, the Sam Rainsy Party is planning for a Buddhist commemoration for all those who died under the Khmer Rouge regime, between 1975 and 1979.

Opposition leader Sam Rainsy himself will lead the ceremony to be held at the Choeung Ek memorial located outside of Phnom Penh, on 17 April 2007, starting at 08:00 AM. The ceremony will end at 10:15 AM.

The commemoration will be participated by 32 Buddhist monks who will recite prayers for the more than 2 millions dead victims of the Khmer Rouge regime.

Gracious politician & a respectable Khmers leader from around the world! Many more of us need to know who Mr. Sam Rainsey is and vote for him in 2008.
