Statement of Cambodian Border Committee on Sam Rainsy's conviction


By Khmerization

The Paris-based Cambodian Border Committee (CBC) has released a statement condemning the conviction and sentencing of opposition leader Sam Rainsy and two villagers as "a show of the nature of ignorant power-hunger and oppression".

The statement, which was signed by CBC president, Mr. Sean Pengse (pictured), said the present government has applied the same method as the Khmer Rouge by talking about the rule of laws, but in reality it has never implemented the laws in accordance with the nation's constitution. "In reality, in Cambodia today, the Pol Pot mentality has not died yet", the statement said.

It continued that the present government has effectively used court as a political tool to legitimise its crack down on critics and opposition the same as the Khmer Rouge using the word "enemy" to eliminate its critics and opponents. "The state is the machine that has never admitted its own mistakes and the state only serve the ruling party and all laws were created by Comrades Hun Sen, Chea Sim and Heng Samrin for the consolidation of their powers", it ssaid.
