Mrs. Mu Sochua, who went on a visit to the United States immediately after her parliamentary immunity was lifted on 22nd June, has arrived back at Phnom Penh Airport at 9 pm on Saturday 4th July.
Mrs. Mu Sochua, who is an MP for Kampot and Deputy Secretary-General of the opposition Sam Rainsy Party, left for the United States on the night of 22nd June, a few hours after her immunity was lifted following a defamation lawsuit lodged against her by Prime Minister Hun Sen.
When exiting the airport door on her return, she refused to give an interview to a journalist from the Cambodian Television Network (CTN) by claiming that the station is biased toward the government. She said: "I will not give an interview to CTN because it is biased and which has never broadcast independent news, but was always broadcasting information that is biased toward the ruling party."

Now she gets a taste of her own medicine. The CPP turns the table of criticism back to the opposition and it is freaking hilarious. I love these Khmer politicians so full of self-contradiction and hypocrisy.
Media outlets are supposed to be neutral and report objectively. The TVs and radios in Cambodia, with the exception of Sombok Khmum Radio, Radio Free Asia and VOA, are controlled by the ruling Cambodian People's Party. They are very biased. The opposition's criticism of the government are healthy for democratic process and for good governance. In the West, the opposition parties are called "future government" or a "shadow government". The government in the West takes criticism from the oppositions seriously, if not the voters might turn against them. The media in the West are very neutral. They attack both sides if they saw them done something wrong.
3:45 PM has been brainwashed by the government that has been abusing its power .
