King Father Sihanouk (pictured) has rejected opposition leader Sam Rainsy's request for him to intervene in getting all charges against him to be dropped, reports Kampuchea Thmey.

Mr. Sam Rainsy was charged by the Svay Rieng Provincial Court of sabotage and destruction of public property when he led a group of villagers to uproot six wooden border markers a long the Khmer-Vietnamese borders on 25th October 2009. Two villagers are currently in jail and three have gone into hiding.

On 5th January 2010, the Sam Rainsy Party sent a letter to ex-King Sihanouk along with 232 pages of 20,000 thumbprints and signatures requesting the ex-king to intervene with the authority to drop all charges against him.

In a letter dated 18th January signed by Prince Sisowath Thomico, the ex-king's advisor, King Father Sihanouk said he has retired from public life and therefore can no longer intervene in the affairs of the country's politics.

In the letter, the ex-king had given three reasons that bar him from helping Mr. Sam Rainsy. First, he has retired from public life since 6th October 2006. Secondly, Mr. Sam Rainsy's problem is a political issue, therefore he cannot help because he does not want to interfere in the country's political affairs. Thirdly, Mr. Sam Rainsy's case has already been in the hand of the court and according to the country's constitution, no one can intervene in the affairs of the judicial system.
