Please who?
Strongman said: “They were stripped of their immunity because they abused someone’s right. Democracy must be under the roof of the law. If democracy [exists] under the image of anarchy, it is not democracy. What we have done is just to please our people and the country. It is not to please someone else."
Our people and the country want food and basic needs. Why doesn't the Strongman provide that instead of protecting corrupt officials and enriching himself. By having surrounded the NA with tanks before the vote, did this show democracy or anarchy or dictatorship? This is the law of the guns. This was to show the MPS that they would be arrested if they did not vote for the lifting of immunity. Who to please? Of course to please the Strongman and his cohort SKP. Not to please the Khmer people.
Khmer people live in poverty today.

By silencing the oppotion, the Strongman can continue to rule absolutely. It cannot last forever. Look at the fates of Marcos of The Philippines and Suharto of Indonesia.
Justice and democracy will prevail!

Cambodia opposition leader who fled country arrives in
France
(Kyodo) _ Cambodian opposition leader Sam Rainsy has
arrived in France after fleeing Cambodia to escape
arrest over defamation lawsuits, his party announced
Friday.
Sam Rainsy will return to Cambodia "as soon as he
receives a legitimate court summons with specific
charges," a statement released by the Sam Rainsy Party
said.
The statement said Sam Rainsy plans to travel in
Europe and North America and meet with government
officials and human rights organizations.
Sam Rainsy fled the country on Thursday after the
National Assembly stripped him of immunity from
prosecution in the wake of lawsuits filed against him
by Prime Minister Hun Sen and the assembly leader
Prince Norodom Ranariddh.
Sam Rainsy Party spokesman Ung Bun-Ang said opposition
lawmakers will boycott sessions of the National
Assembly until the controversy is resolved.
After the assembly voted in favor of the motion, Sam
Rainsy was escorted by a U.S. diplomat to Phnom Penh
International Airport, where he boarded a plane to
Singapore.

I'M SEEKING :
Cheam Channy, a lawmaker in Sam Rainsy's party who was
also stripped of immunity from prosecution, was
arrested and charged Friday by a military court for
allegedly recruiting soldiers for the party's shadow
government.
Chea Poch, another lawmaker who had his immunity
stripped, faces a libel lawsuit filed by Prince
Ranariddh.
The move by Hun Sen's government against the three
parliamentarians drew quick condemnation from the
international community, especially the United States.
In Washington, Sen. Mitch McConnell called on donor
countries to consider sanctions against Cambodia.
"Any activities with the National Assembly should be
immediately and indefinitely suspended," McConnell
said in a statement released Thursday.
He also urged the U.S. State Department to ban
Cambodian lawmakers who voted for the motion from
entering the United States.
Prince Ranariddh said Friday he was not concerned by
the statement issued by McConnell, saying the issue
concerns the internal affairs of Cambodia.
