PM: No International Pressure

Prime Minister Hun Sen yesterday warned his detractors not to raise international pressure or make threats, otherwise political problems would not be resolved and future pardons for others now detained in prison would not be forthcoming. Speaking at the five-year anniversary ceremony of Minebea factory, Mr. Hun Sen said improvement of the country’s political situation would come through talks between party leaders, not pressure from the international community.
 

“This is a message to say that Cambodia can solve its own problems and do not repress,” he said. “Repression is just useless. Hun Sen’s behavior differs from others, if you repress [me], I will sleep and ignore. Do not repress the man.”
 

Mr.  Hun Sen warned that if there is international pressure, solutions for other detainees – who many believe are held on politically motivated charges would not be made. “Do not use the words ‘international pressure.’ If you do, I will go to sleep,” he added.
