PHNOM PENH - Ruling government officials on Tuesday refused to receive a letter from opposition leader Sam Rainsy, who is seeking a political solution to a number of criminal charges he says are politically motivated.
The charges against him are preventing him to return to Cambodia to lead the opposition in elections in July 2013.
Sam Rainsy told VOA Khmer he is still planning to visit Cambodia to mourn the passing of former king Norodom Sihanouk, whose body will lie in state for nearly three months.
Sam Rainsy sent a second letter to the government this week, welcoming its decision to reinstate Oct. 23 as a national holiday to mark the anniversary of the 1991 Paris Peace Accords.
The decision, announced Tuesday, marks a turnaround for the ruling Cambodian People’s Party, which canceled it as a holiday eight years ago. It was announced on the Seventh Day Ceremony for the passing of Sihanouk, who helped broker the peace accords.
Some observers have said the turnaround could mark progress toward some political settlements in the wake of the former king’s death.
“When I see politicians in Cambodia agreeing and solving problems of the national interest, I am happy,” said Tung Yap, president of the US-based Cambodian Americans for Human Rights and Democracy.
Political analyst Lao Monghay said the Paris Peace Accords should be celebrated as a stabilizing force for Cambodia that also protects it from takeovers by other countries.
“In Cambodia’s history, this is lucky, because internationally it ensures that neighboring countries recognize and ensure our sovereignty,” he said.
Government spokesman Khieu Kanharith said Sam Rainsy is not banned from paying his respects to the former king.
However, Sam Rainsy is facing 10 years in prison sentences for crimes related to his destruction of border markers near Vietnam in 2009. Those charges remain a matter for the courts, Khieu Kanharith said.

Sam Rainsy, your letters: please to three top leaders of the CPP and supports 23 October as a holiday will not help you to return back to Cambodia. In order to get forgiveness from PM Hun Sen, you must eat all your words for the last 4 years that have insulted PM and the CPP. Plus sincere apology to PM Hun Sen.
Pi Anh.
How come, Mr. Sam Rainsy asks for the permission of the Cambodian authority for his returning to Cambodia.
He went out of and stay outside of the country by his own will. He during this time also did not use the Cambodian nationality or passport and declared as a Cambodian political asylum or prisoner, because he most of the time used and travelled with a foreigner passport.
Therefore Mr. Sam Rainsy no needs to ask the government for his return. He is able to go back home, whenever he likes.
With the law in Cambodia, was his problem and he needs to clear the situation or document and not just run away. He has the right to prove at the court, that he is innocent or not. After the court decision and the decsion is not for his favorite, than he can prove the world that the law in Cambodia is under the control of the CCP leader.
Just run away of the country law and say this and that, it will not help his political career.
Rainsy Party of Cambodia because Hun Sen and his clan want to kill him. This is why Rainsy party. This is a man who risks his life every day to defend the interests of the Khmer nation and beliefs.
The Khmer abroad know, Sam Rainsy has not signed the Treaty of betrayal of his own race on the border with Youns occupant from 1979 to 1989, but Hun Sen has done and Ranaritht has supports ...
In addition, Hun Sen gave the land and sea in Khmer Youns.
------------------------------------
Rainsy est parti du Cambodge parce que Hun Sen et son clan veulent le tuer. C'est la raison pour laquelle Rainsy est parti. C'est un homme qui risque sa vie chaque jour pour défendre l'intérêt supérieur de la nation Khmer et ses convictions.
A ce que les Khmers à l'étranger sache, Sam Rainsy n’a pas signé le traité de trahison de sa propre race sur les frontaliers avec les Youns occupant de 1979 à 1989, mais Hun Sen l’a fait et Ranaritht l’a supporte…
In addition, Hun Sen gave the land and sea in Khmer Youns.
Attention, please, HUN Sen is a traitor to the nation Khmer because he gave the land to Khmer Youn. All Khmer know perfectly well.
Attention, HUN est un traître de la nation Khmère parce qu'il a donné la terre Khmère au Youn. Tout les Khmères savent parfaitement.
Yey Dumb Yuon Dog Eater Pi Anh @8:52 AM - You are still one of the worst human killers in the CPP regime. Why are you so stupid to talk nonsense.
