CANADIAN MEMBER OF PARLIAMENT SPEAKS OUT FOR CAMBODIA

Canadian MP Jean Crowder wrote to Canada’s Foreign Minister Lawrence Cannon on 28 October 2010 urging him “to emphasize to the government of Cambodia its responsibility to ensure the protection of opposition elements inside the country.”
The letter appropriately and timely elaborates, “Democracy can only successfully exist if the most powerful political parties take responsibility to ensure that their opponents are able to share in government and are not viewed as opponents of the state itself. Government credibility and stability can only be achieved by carefully supervising and ensuring unusually high police restraint, not just with regards to treatment of opposition parties, but also with regards to labour disputes, land-clearance protesters and other opposition elements. The transition of 14 million people towards a stable civil society may be at stake.” Please read the whole letter at http://tinyurl.com/287trnd
