Translated by Khmerization

The Phnom Penh Court has sent court summons to both Mr. Hun Sen and Mrs. Mu Sochua to appear in court on 7th May in relations to their defamation lawsuit and counter-suit.

The Reaksmei Kampuchea newspaper reported that the court summoned both sides to appear in court to defend their cases. According to the procedures, the court will then question both defendants and then will decide whether to charge or not to charge both defendants.

According to the judicial procedures, if the court decided not to press charge against any party, the lawsuits will be annulled. But the plaintiff has the right to appeal the court decision.

The next step, the court will then decide to charge any party for prosecution. So, if the court decide to proceed with Mr. Hun Sen's suit, then it will have to request to parliament to strip Mrs. Mu Sochua's parliamentary immunity so that the court can charge her and then send her case to the investigating judge to take further legal action.
