Many Khmers overseas have circulated emails urging the Cambodian Diaspora to attend a protest against Prime Minister Hun Sen when he attends the UN Security Council Meeting in New York in the middle of this month.

Members of the opposition Sam Rainsy Party (SRP) in Europe and America are sending emails urging Khmers throughout the world to protest against Mr. Hun Sen who has been accused of being a dictator who ruled with an iron fist for 32 years. “Please be informed that PM Hun Sen will join the meeting with the UN Security Council in new York on 13 September 2011. Please welcome him there on the date and place”, a member of the SRP in Norway wrote in an email to party members around the world.

Mr. Sam Rainsy, the exiled SRP leader, and many Cambodian Diaspora have been predicting some sort of a people power revolution in Cambodia, similar to what had happened in some Arab countries, notably Tunisia, Egypt and Libya. Some people, like Mr. Ou Chal, a graduate of the Sorbonne University in Paris with a doctorate degree, have been very active in urging the Khmer people inside the country to rise up in a Lotus Revolution to topple Mr. Hun Sen from power.
