US Ambassador concerned that Hor Namhong’s lawsuit against Sam Rainsy could affect the election

On 06 may, the US Ambassador in Cambodia expressed his concern that Hor Namhong’s lawsuit against Sam Rainsy could affect the election as the court is speeding up this case.

In an interview with reporters on Tuesday, during a vitamin distribution for children in Baray district, Kampong Thom province, Joseph Mussomeli said: “I am concern that it will affect the election, although I hope that it won’t affect it.” Mussomeli added that it will be regrettable if the defamation and disinformation accusation could affect the progress of democracy.

He expressed his personal opinion by saying that the defamation and disinformation should not be considered as criminal case. Instead, it should be considered as a civil case, i.e., a case that should be decided by the civil code instead.

Mussomeli is concerned about this lawsuit because Ka Savuth, Hor Namhong’s lawyer showed up in court even before the summon date. Ka Savuth showed up in court on 02 May, whereas the court summoned him only on 05 May. As for Sam Rainsy, the court summoned him to show up to provide clarification on 22 May.

In addition to his comment on Hor Namhong’s lawsuit, Mussomeli also indicated that he met with a number of political parties in Cambodia recently, among those are the CPP, Funcinpec, SRP, HRP, to talk about the 4th mandate election which will take place on 27 July 2008.

Mussomeli claimed that: “We maintain good contact with all political parties, but we do not support any party in particular, and we don’t care which party will win the upcoming election. But, we hope that the winning party will win the election fair and square.”

Mussomeli said that, in general, prior to the election in Cambodia, near the election there are always some problems that occur and that cannot be avoided. He said that, regardless whether it is in Cambodia, in the US, or in any other country, people focus on the election and they are not too concerned about about daily life. Up until now, no violence related to the election takes place yet, so Mussomeli thinks that the election is moving smoothly. “Currently, we are following up with attention so that there is no violence, no threat, no fear, no forcing in the election. We hope that threat will not take place, and we hope that the upcoming election will be conducted properly. We will send election observers all over Cambodia,” Mussomeli said.

If H.E. Mussomeli is concerned about the law suit, he should persuaded Sam Rainsy to apologized early on. Although, some moneys have been spend for attorney already, I am sure the case can still be settled out of court. Everything is up to Sam Rainsy, not Hor NamHong.

My beloved 5:25PM!

Forgive me for intentionally correcting your statement.

SamRainsy is obviously and evidently the insidious enemy of not only all Youns or Khmer-Youns( who were bornt or live in Srok Khmer), but also CPP's folks, especailly Hun SenVarman. Otherwise, Youn is completely dekhmerizated like Khmer Krom, and CPP's doesn't have learn a new trick to fool the poor and innocent Khmers in order to win each election.

Interesting. Same Viet patrasite agreed with himself @5:25PM and 5:43PM.

You Viet parasites must remember the universal language by heart:

"The world sees and knows the Viet true color too well already".

Don't forget that it was the KR's ideology of hatred that led to the elimination of classes. 80% of the blame should be put on the Khmer leaders themselves, not on the foreign leaders.
