A Cambodian People’s Party lawmaker on Thursday claimed to be unworried by the Inter-Parliamentary Union’s plans to raise Cambodian opposition party leader Sam Rainsy’s case in the next parliamentary session.
The rejection was made following an IPU committee meeting on the human rights of parliamentarians and a confidential decision at its 128th session on 18-21 January, 2010 to confirm deep concern related to this case.
Svay Rieng Court on January 27, 2010 sentenced Cambodian opposition party leader Sam Rainsy in absentia to two years imprisonment for uprooting border markers on the border with Vietnam.
The opposition “express further concern at the charges laid against Mr. Sam Rainsy which, in the light of the information before it, appears highly questionable; and wishes to receive a copy of the indictment and to be kept informed of the outcome of the trail hearing of 27 January, 2010,” the report said.
Cheam Yeab, a CPP lawmaker, told DAP News Cambodia that only the political opposition and NGOs heed such reports of concern.
“All we have done is legal and was a request by the court via the Justice Ministry,” he added.
However, we reject all fear even though this case is going to talk at the next session as we have done by legal ways, he confirmed.
