PHNOM PENH, Jan 6 (NNN-CIC) — Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen said on Tuesday he will not request a royal pardon for Sam Rainsy in the event the opposition leader is found guilty by a provincial court for incitement and destruction of property.
The prime minister has the right to request a pardon by the king of any convicted criminal, according to Cambodian jurisprudence, but Hun Sen said he would not exercise his right in the case of Sam Rainsy.
I want to announce that there will be no pardon to Sam Rainsy when the court convicts him, Hun Sen said in a speech at the inauguration of a section of National Road 1 in Kandal province. No way to pardon him. Sam Rainsy, if you write a letter to request a pardon from me, this time, I'm sorry, no way. You prepare yourself to face the court.
