On Sunday 11 January, the Cambodian Action Committee for Justice & Equity (CACJE) issued a statement indicating that the arrest of Som Ek aka Ty To aka Chau Sakada and the charge of bomb plot in Phnom Penh on 02 January, are new invention and subterfuge by the Phnom Penh regime which is known to set up movements or various events in order to bring charge against democrat and nationalist activists, by accusing the latter of terrorism.

The Cranston, Rhode Island, US-based CACJE led by Suon Serey Ratha cited as examples a number of past setup events to claim that this is another trick perpetrated by Hun Sen and the CPP in order to discourage nationalist Cambodians who dare to oppose the celebration of the 07 January, a date that the CPP always commemorates to express its gratefulness to Hanoi.

In conclusion, CACJE condemned the political setup and charges invented by the Phnom Penh regime to hide its ineptitude and the lengthening of the resolution on the border dispute between Cambodia and Thailand, and its attempt to divert the public attention from the anarchic invasions of Cambodian sovereignty by Thailand, Vietnam and Laos.
