Prime Minister Hun Sen has warned opposition leaders they will face ruling party rallies at home if he is met with anti-government demonstrations during his high-profile trip to the US next month, a threat that raised the spectre of pro-government protests in October that ended with two opposition lawmakers in hospital.

The remarks came barely 24 hours before the expected arrival in Phnom Penh of US Secretary of State John Kerry, who flew in last night after visiting Laos and will today meet the premier, Foreign Minister Hor Namhong, Cambodia National Rescue Party acting president Kem Sokha and civil society representatives.

Hun Sen flagged the retaliatory rallies in a Facebook post responding to a message to his page by young Khmer-American opposition supporter “Brady Young” on Sunday.

Absolutely amazing how both Obama and Kerry can be so cordial to this dictator. It is widely know that he has blood on his hands from his Khmer Rouge days and then again after he lead the Vietnamese based government of Cambodia. He still uses brute force to enforce his will over the country and the people. His government is so full of corruption it has been estimated that he is wealth could exceed one billion dollars. It's an affront to every citizen of the USA that he is even allowed in the USA.

The GOP hate Kerry because he actually negotiates with other countries. Republicans just want carpet bombing of any country that dares cross us.

Hopefully it was a touch and go.
