Rainsy: Hun Sen holding ‘hostages’

[geovalin]

Outspoken opposition leader Sam Rainsy has accused the prime minister of holding political prisoners hostage in a bid to have him expelled as opposition leader. On Saturday Mr. Rainsy, who lives in self-exile in France, sent an email to local media outlets which said acting opposition leader Mr. Sokha had been asked to sign a statement saying those in his party who criticized Prime Minister Hun Sen’s family would be expelled.
 

The statement, which Khmer Times cannot verify, said those who made the allegation that the premier’s eldest son, Hun Manet, was the love child of Mr. Hun Sen’s wife and a Vietnamese general must be held accountable for their actions. “Cambodia’s political prisoners are just Hun Sen’s hostages who are being used to blackmail the CNRP,” Mr. Rainsy said.
 

According to unverified reports on the statement intended to be signed by Mr. Sokha, it said those criticizing Mr. Hun Sen’s family were “brainless” and “depraved.” “As a CNRP member, I myself would like to publicly condemn all those people who insulted him and I see them as people who have no value,” the statement allegedly reads.

There is no more ruthless, despicable or cruel leader in Asia than Hun Sen. He is a vile man who mercilessly crushes any opposition and oppresses the poor. The trumped up charges against Sokha and the 5 in prison are simply a means to prevent Sokha from functioning as a politician. Hopefully one day someone is able to slip through his security cordon and rid the country of this human vermin.

Over 60.000 people in Cambodia suffering from land grabbing mainly by mining companies, most of them from China. Nobody protects those folks, who are living for more than  three generations on their land, and never needed a title deed.
