Deputy opposition leader Kem Sokha yesterday told supporters in Kampot province that a CNRP victory in 2018 would entail long-awaited reforms in the Kindom’s justice system, which he accused of enforcing double standards that failed the poor and powerless.

Making veiled reference to an alleged death threat made against him over Facebook by an Interior Ministry official in December 2013, Sokha said that his Cambodia National Rescue Party must win in 2018 if real reforms are to be enacted, putting an end to what has long been labelled a “culture of impunity” for the wealthy and well-connected.

“If we do not win, weak people will still suffer; there will still be injustice. When a group from the other powerful side . . . threatened the minority party, there was no one [taking legal action],” he said. “Even though they threatened to kill there was no one arrested.”
