PHNOM PENH, (Cambodia Herald) - An opposition lawmaker faces losing his parliamentary immunity after the permanent committee of the National Assembly decided Thursday to bring the issue to a plenary session of parliament next week.
"The decision to suspend the immunity of Chan Cheng, MP from the Sam Rainsy Party, was made at the request of Kandal Provincial Court and the Ministry of Justice," permanent committee member Cheam Yeap said after the meeting.
He said the issue would be discussed at the National Assembly's plenary meeting on December 20 as part of a normal legal process to allow the court to proceed in a case against Chan Cheng.
The opposition lawmaker has been charged with attempting to free a detainee from Kandal provincial prison on September 23.
