Abroad, the SRP MP Ho Vann could not get his invitation by the Municipal Court, DR

Sok Roeun, counsel for the Municipal Court, said in a letter that in case of absence, the accused would be sentenced in absentia. Ho Vann is blamed for his comments on the quality of qualifications awarded by Hun Sen in the military after graduation to Vietnam. "These diplomas do not reflect the professionalism of these officers, but only serve to strengthen their position", said the elected opposition in the Cambodia Daily. These remarks have upset key stakeholders and that Hun Sen has publicly indignant: "These men have devoted time to pursue their studies while they are already very busy defending the country's sovereignty." "They should be complimented, not despised," said the Prime Minister.

Following this complaint, the National Assembly, dominated by the CPP, has lifted Monday, June 22 parliamentary immunity Ho Vann, along with that of his colleague Mu Sochua. The member PSR then moved abroad to escape justice. He may be present probably not at his trial.
