A defence lawyer for Mrs. Pheng Kunthea Borey (pictured), former chief of protocol of Senate President Chea Sim who was arrested two weeks on forgery and fraud charges, has tendered his resignation as a defence lawyer for Mrs. Pheng Kunthea Borey.
Mr. Kouy Thunna, who has vehemently defended Mrs. Pheng Kunthea Borey after she was arrested, has today, Thursday 6th October, sent a letter of resignation to Mrs. Vang Sinath, investigating judge for Phnom Penh Court. The letter failed to mention the reason for his decision to resign, but said the resignation will be effective from the date of the letter, which is Thursday 6th of October.
Mrs. Pheng Kunthea Borey was arrested on 28th September for document forgery and for defrauding Malaysian investors of a $500 million investment project.
Mr. Kouy Thunna's resignation is reminiscent of the resignation of Kong Sam Onn, a lawyer for opposition MP Mu Sochua, who was intimidated into resigning after he had strongly defended opposition MP Mu Sochua in a defamation lawsuit against Prime Minister Hun Sen in 2009. Kong Sam Onn was threatened with a lawsuit by Prime Minister Hun Sen, but was exonerated of all charges after he quit from defending Mu Sochua and agreed to become a member of the ruling Cambodian People's Party of Prime Minister Hun Sen.
No evidence to suggest that Kouy Thunna has resigned due to threat or coercion from Prime Minister Hun Sen or other officials close to him, but it seems a deja vu.

The Khmer elites paid the price for appointing numerous Oknha, Advisers, Generals, Pandit (or Bandits),Chumteav......
Those parasite people use their title to make the traffic of influence, to oppress people, to grab land from the poor....
If the Boss has signed a document presented by his advisers, who are at fault? First it's the boss him self. Did he look at the documents with his eyes, and his brain? Or with his fore font. Is he just a monkey?....
Stop appointing those parasite people. There are harmful for the Country.
I don't think he just resign for nothing. He was probably threatened by Hun Sen or his advisers into stop representing Pheng Kunthea Borey. I don't supporter people who did the wrong thing, but a suspect is presumed innocent until proven guilty and he/she has the right to be represented. To deprive her of a lawyer is a human right violation.
This evil lady must be punish for stealing millions millions of dollars from state...
millions millions of dollars...where are they?? hiding under the pillows...? too much
