THE government has again gone on the offensive against opposition leader Sam Rainsy, saying he will soon face charges of falsifying public documents in order to support allegations of Vietnamese territorial encroachments.
Var Kimhong, Cambodia's chief border negotiator said at a press conference on Monday that the government had lost patience with the Sam Rainsy Party (SRP) president and his "exaggerations" about the situation on the Vietnamese border.
"The SRP is not confused about the situation. Their purpose is to twist our work and criticise the government very strongly," he said. "This is a national betrayal. The government will sue him again on accusations of faking public documents." He did not mention when the charges would be laid, saying only that the case had been forwarded on to government lawyers.
