The Svay Rieng provincial court brought a criminal lawsuit against Mr. Sam Rainsy, charging him with uprooting the border stakes between Cambodia and Vietnam in Svay Rieng province.
The Svay Rieng court officially sued Mr. Sam Rainsy and accused him of perpetrating two criminal offenses: destruction of public properties for the uprooting of the border stakes between Cambodia and Vietnam in Svay Rieng province, and also for racial discrimination.
Chuong Chou Ngy, opposition leader Sam Rainsy’s defense lawyer, told RFA on Saturday 12 December 2009: “(1) for the destruction of border post No. 185 between Cambodia and Vietnam, and (2) for racial discrimination. The accusations leveled by the prosecutor are officially opened for investigation, and the case has moved to the investigation judge. Currently, the case is under investigation.”
Chuong Chou Ngy said that he is prepared to confront this sensitive lawsuit: “This is a sensitive case, therefore, you have to understand me because I cannot talk in depth about it. I am thinking of preparing witnesses to clarify that the planting of this border post is not right.”
