A prominent ruling party activist has alluded to violent attacks against CNRP acting president Kem Sokha if anti-Hun Sen protesters picket the premier’s upcoming US visit, in a sponsored Facebook post circulated a week after the prime minister delivered his own veiled threats of retaliation should a demonstration occur.

Prefacing his remarks with “according to observers”, Cambodian People’s Party social media activist and soldier Khan Chan Sophal wrote that the planned protests in the US would make the Cambodia National Rescue Party acting president “not dare to live in Cambodia anymore”.

In a post “liked” 281 times as of last night, Sophal said Sokha was afraid that CPP supporters would “burn [his] house”, and “pull him out of a car like the two CNRP lawmakers last time”, a reference to the brutal bashing of opposition parliamentarians by men from a pro-CPP rally on October 26. The CNRP acting president’s house was also surrounded by protesters and pelted with stones that day.

Perfect plot for a "Transporter Movie" starring Michael Strahan...real life intrigue is much more interesting than fiction...
