The real court is in Hanoi

Sam Rainsy (on phone) led 100 villagers to uproot six wooden border demarcation poles on 25th October 2009 that led him to be charged for "sabotage" by the Svay Rieng court.

THE REAL COURT IS IN HANOI

From 28 December, I will happily let the Svay Rieng provincial court, a branch of the CPP-subservient judicial system, prosecute me in absentia because its verdict is known in advance like with any kangaroo court.

It’s useless and meaningless to defend yourself before a servant. You’d better address the master. Therefore, I am willing to show up and to be prosecuted in person in Hanoi because my trial is a political one first ordered by Vietnam’s government (*).

I am accused of removing a border marker with Vietnam and, following the logic of the accusation, that border marker is a property jointly owned by Vietnam and Cambodia. Furthermore, Vietnam’s Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung was the first government official from the two countries to denounce my act and to call for my punishment (*).

Therefore, being now in a third country, both the Vietnamese government and the Cambodian government can prosecute me, and I can go either to Vietnam or Cambodia to be prosecuted for the alleged crime.

I accept to go to Vietnam and to be tried there, before a Vietnamese court in Hanoi, any time. There, with the Cambodian people and the international community watching from some distance and with serenity, I will be able to raise the real issue and to defend Cambodia’s interest. The real issue is not with Sam Rainsy; it is between Vietnam and Cambodia and is related to border encroachments and violation of Cambodia’s territorial integrity. I will denounce the unfair 1985 border treaty signed by a Cambodian puppet regime led by the same prime minister for 25 years. I will defend countless Cambodian farmers whose rice fields and other farmland are being seized by the Vietnamese authorities with the complicity of the Hun Sen government. I will invoke the 1991 Paris Peace Agreements on Cambodia and its provisions on Cambodia’s independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity. The effective implementation of the Paris Agreements will also help solve border disputes with Thailand.

I was last in Hanoi in 2002 when I was received by many high-ranking government officials including… Mr. Nguyen Tan Dung, who was then deputy prime minister.

Sam Rainsy

Member of Parliament

(*) On November 4, 2009, the state-run Voice of Vietnam radio reported, “Regarding acts and statements made by Sam Rainsy - President of the Sam Rainsy Party (SRP), who recently uprooted six temporary poles for Marker 185 between Vietnam’s southern province of Long An and Cambodia’s Svay Rieng province – [Vietnam’s Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung ] proposed that the Cambodian government take due measures to deal with Rainsy’s acts of sabotage and not permit similar cases to occur, as they negatively affect the fine relations between the two nations.” See original report at http://tinyurl.com/ykt32ah

It is true that the present Cambodian court is very biased and controlled by Mr. Hun Sen. If Mr. Sam Rainsy go to court, he would be jailed for sure. But the bad thing is that the longer Mr. Rainsy stay out of the country the more his party will become weak.

Rainsy should not have left the country in the first place. He should stay in Cambodia when he was stripped off his parliamentary immunity and, come to the worst, seek refuge in the U.S embassy. After all Mu Sochua never run away. She and Ho Vann does not have the immunity right now and they are OK.

The Svay Rieng court was ordered by Hun Sen to build up a case against Rainsy to scare him away and they have succeeded in their goal.
