Four senior opposition officials will meet with leader-in-exile Sam Rainsy on Tuesday in the Philippines to discuss the heated political situation, as Prime Minister Hun Sen continues to raise the spectre of colour revolutions.

Cambodia National Rescue Party (CNRP) lawmakers Pol Ham, Eng Chhay Eang, Ou Chanrith and Yim Sovann will travel to meet Rainsy, with the notable absence of Kem Sokha, who remains holed up at the party headquarters to avoid arrest in relation to an ongoing sex scandal. Chanrith said the Kem Sokha affair was the impetus for the Manila meet – the second such gathering since March.

“We go to talk together because of the political crisis in Cambodia,” Chanrith said. Rainsy, too, is avoiding arrest over a defamation case, and has been in self-imposed exile since November. Nonetheless, in an email yesterday, he insisted that “the CNRP leadership continues to do its work without any serious disruption. On the substance it is business as usual.”
