Another French Member of Parliament, Nicolas Dupont-Aignan takes the defense of Sam Rainsy whose appeal starts to resonate


26 June 2011

NICOLAS DUPONT-AIGNAN: “SAM RAINSY VICTIM OF A RELENTLESS JUDICIAL PERSECUTION” BECAUSE HUN SEN WANTS “TO SILENCE HIM”

Mr. Nicolas Dupont-Aignan, a French National Assembly Member who does not belong to any political group, wrote on 15 April 2011 to Mr. Alain Juppé, the Minister of Foreign and European Affairs, to ask him to intervene with the Phnom Penh Authorities on the case of Cambodian opposition leader Sam Rainsy (pictured) who is currently living in exile in France. Here are the main points in MP Nicolas Dupont-Aignan’s letter:

“My attention has been drawn to the case of Cambodian Member of Parliament Sam Rainsy.

Because he tirelessly denounces corruption, human rights violation, and murderous border conflicts, Mr. Sam Rainsy has been persecuted for 15 years by the Phnom Penh Authorities.

After having survived in 1997 an assassination attempt which instead killed many members of the opposition party that he presides over, Sam Rainsy is now victim of a relentless judicial persecution.

Even though his action is supported and acknowledged by the international community, and the European Parliament, in its 21 October 2010 resolution, had denounced the crackdown on the opposition in general and Sam Rainsy in particular, the Cambodian Government has expulsed him from the National Assembly, stripped him of his parliamentary immunity and handed down a heavy jail sentence to him in order to silence him.

Sam Rainsy’s case illustrates the real nature of the Cambodian regime which, behind a façade of parliamentary democracy, has kept the autocratic reflexes of the previous dictatorship.

The European Union must not ignore the repression targeting the representatives of the opposition in Cambodia, and must intervene with that country’s Government in order for Sam Rainsy and all elected representatives of the people to resume their role in Parliament and to recover their freedom of expression as in a democratic society.

Therefore, I would be very grateful if you could pass on Sam Rainsy’s appeal to your Cambodian counterparts.”

Un autre Député français, Nicolas Dupont-Aignan prend la défense de
Sam Rainsy dont l’appel commence à résonner

NICOLAS DUPONT-AIGNAN: “SAM RAINSY VICTIME D’UN ACHARNEMENT
JUDICIAIRE” PARCE QUE HUN SEN VEUT “LE FAIRE TAIRE”

Mr Nicolas DUPONT-AIGNAN, Député de l’Essonne n’appartenant à aucun groupe politique, a écrit le 15 avril 2011 à Mr Alain JUPPÉ, Ministre des Affaires étrangères et européennes, pour lui demander d’intervenir auprès des Autorités de Phnom Penh sur le cas du chef de l’opposition
cambodgienne SAM RAINSY qui vit actuellement en exil en France.

Voici les points les plus importants dans l'intervention du Député Nicolas DUPONT-AIGNAN :

“Mon attention a été attirée sur la situation du Député Cambodgien SAM RAINSY.

Au motif qu’il dénonce inlassablement la corruption, la violation des droits de l’homme, et les conflits frontaliers meurtriers, Monsieur SAM RAINSY est persécuté depuis 15 ans, par les Autorités de Phnom Penh.

Après avoir échappé en 1997 à un attentat ayant coûté la vie à [de nombreux] membres du parti d’opposition qu’il préside, SAM RAINSY est aujourd’hui victime d’un acharnement judiciaire.

Bien que son action soit soutenue et reconnue par la communauté internationale, et que le Parlement européen, dans sa résolution du 21 octobre 2010, ait dénoncé les agissements perpétrés à l’encontre de l’opposition en général et de SAM RAINSY en particulier, l’Exécutif Cambodgien l’a expulsé de l’Assemblée nationale, privé de son immunité parlementaire et condamné à une lourde peine de prison pour le faire taire.

Le cas de SAM RAINSY illustre la vraie nature du régime Cambodgien qui, sous couvert d’une apparence de démocratie parlementaire, a conservé les réflexes autocratiques de l’ancienne dictature.

L’Union européenne ne saurait ignorer la répression dont sont victims les représentants de l’opposition au Cambodge, et se doit d’intervenir auprès du Gouvernement de ce pays pour que SAM RAINSY et tous les Elus qui incarnent le suffrage universel retrouvent leur place au sein du Parlement et leur droit de parole dans la cité.

C’est pourquoi, je vous serais très reconnaissant de bien vouloir relayer l’appel lancé par SAM RAINSY auprès de vos homologues cambodgiens. “

I have never heard Sam Rainsy condem Thailand but I heard SRP condem Vietnam for the spratly Islands dispute with China. However the government did came out and clean thing up as damage control so that Cambodia remains neutral. Recently, both countries (Vietnam and China) decided to have peaceful diaglogue. If the government didn't came out and clean things up; it would have made us looking like a fool.
