On the fifth day of the campaign, Mu Sochua, SRP candidate in Kampot spotted a car carrying a license plate of the Cambodian Armed Forces with a big CPP poster on both sides of the car. When she was trying to take a photograph of the car, the owner, a general of the Cambodian Armed Forces and chief of the Border Control unit in Kompong Trach district, Kampot province stopped her. Mu Sochua, knowing that the only chance of proof was to have a picture of the car, attempted to stop the car as the owner was ordering his driver to leave with the car. During the argument, the army general assaulted Mu Sochua and her shirt became undone, leaving her half-naked in front of a crowd of men. Mu Sochua was dragged for about 3 meters by the car that was attempting to leave the scene as the general continued to give his order. Had she not let go off the car, she could have received grave harm to herself.
The Sam Rainsy Party issued a statement strongly condemning such act of violence and any act of violence against its candidates and candidates of any political party.
