The Phnom Penh municipal court issued a summons for Kem Sokha, president of the Human Rights Party (HRP), to show up to court on 06 September in regards to the breach of trust and falsification of private letter lawsuit brought up by Dr. Chhim Phal Vorun, a former employee of the Cambodian Center for Human Rights (CCHR) NGO. Kem Sokha summons does not look feasible, Yem Pohnarith, the HRP spokesman, told Kampuchea Thmei over the phone in the afternoon of 31 August. Yem Ponharith indicated that Kem Sokha is currently overseas and he will return back to Cambodia on 14 October. Regarding the court summons for Kem Sokha, Yem Pohnarith said that the latter could write to the court to delay the case as he is on mission overseas. Kem Sokha was the former CCHR president, he later resigned from this NGO to form the HRP. Prior to his resignation from the CCHR, Kem Sokha was sued by his former employees who accused him of corruption, embezzlement of employee funds as well as various planning budget funds.
