Three Cambodia National Rescue Party staff members have fled, via Thailand, to another country in the region and are applying for asylum in third countries after being linked to the case of imprisoned opposition Senator Hong Sok Hour, sources have said.

The group – believed to be those called out by Prime Minister Hun Sen in a speech on Tuesday – fled to Thailand on August 19 after their names were mentioned during police interviews with Sok Hour, according to two sources with knowledge of the matter.

Two of the men – Satya Sambath, 25, and Chong Leang Ueng, 20 – administer the Facebook page of CNRP President Sam Rainsy, while the third, 24-year-old David Sambath, brother of Satya, is a personal assistant to Sok Hour, a Sam Rainsy Party senator.

Three Cambodia National Rescue Party members who fled Cambodia and are applying for asylum in the West after being linked to the case of imprisoned opposition Senator Hong Sok Hour should return home and have faith in the Kingdom’s justice system, a government spokesman said yesterday.

Sok Hour was arrested by heavily armed police on August 15 for posting a “fake” 1979 border treaty purporting to show Cambodia and Vietnam agreeing to dissolve their borders on CNRP president Sam Rainsy’s Facebook page.

Soon afterwards, fearing repercussions for helping to post the treaty and an accompanying video, two administrators for Rainsy’s Facebook page and Sok Hour’s personal assistant fled to Thailand, then on to another country in the region.

Come back and trust the courts.... lol

Run boys run.

If there's one thing PM Hun Sen is a master at and that's silencing any opposition, perceived or real. All the while lining his and his cronies pockets with unbelievable wealth at the detriment to his nation and the citizens of Cambodia.
