Letter from Congresswoman Maricar
Zamora-Apsay from the Liberal Party of the Philippines expressing her
support to Cambodian opposition leader Sam Rainsy's appeal for
international parliamentary solidarity.
"It
is the least that we can do to have the honor of appending our names to
the message of support for one of truth and freedom’s bravest advocates
in this era when many take it for granted. Sam Rainsy has been a
staunch voice of liberty and respect for human rights for Cambodia, and
his struggle has not gone unheard. The CALD [Council of Asian Liberals
and Democrats currently chaired by Sam Rainsy] has been instrumental not
just in giving me the opportunity to bear witness to democracy at work
in other countries, but to also learn from our fellow Liberals such as
Sam Rainsy. Rest assured that we will exert efforts to elevate and echo
his appeal.
We do pray that eventually, just
like Aung Suu Kyi, Sam Rainsy will lead his country despite the years
of sacrifice, and that he may do so with our support and vigilance. We
trust that truth and independence will eventually triumph over
corruption, that free will and choice will bring about true sovereignty.
We join the call of all liberals for Sam Rainsy to be allowed to return
to Cambodia and to resume his parliamentary duties without fear of
reprisal or persecution, and to permit him to lead his political party
in their cause to better the well-being of the Cambodian people."
