The opposition Sam Rainsy Party will hold a ceremony tomorrow to remember the dozens who died in the 1997 factional fighting, SRP lawmaker Kimsour Pirith said. During two days of heavy fighting on July 5 and 6, a Cambodian People’s Party faction led by then-second Prime Minister Hun Sen ousted forces loyal to Funcinpec, headed at the time by then-first Prime Minister Prince Norodom Ranariddh. Funcinpec president and Deputy Prime Minister Nhek Bun Chhay, who was targeted in the action but is now part of a coalition with the ruling CPP, said yesterday that the Sam Rainsy Party was using the occasion for its political benefit.

Why I am not surprise with opportunist party to use the incident fo gain popularity? This is what they love to do.
I think Hun Sen's supports are not happy for people to remind about their murderous act in staging a bloody coup that show over 100 hundred Funcinpec officials brutally tortured and executed. This is Hun sen's war crime that need to be reminded every year.
If you are opponent of Ranarith
what should you do during that time ?
