The cracks in Mam Sonando’s recently revived Beehive Social Democratic Party are widening, with a lawsuit against the party president, alleging he embezzled funds, slated to be filed at the Phnom Penh Municipal Court today on behalf of the party’s own leadership.

An advanced copy of the suit obtained yesterday and dated October 20, calls for the dissolution of the Beehive Party, an investigation for the alleged embezzlement and a court warrant to suspend all party activities.

Sonando, who is also a prominent radio station director and government critic, is being sued by party vice president Dr Heang Rithy, general secretary Nhem Bunthan, deputy general secretary Heang Kimsroeun and party deputy treasurer Ou Chan Phalla.
