October 21, 2012

SAM RAINSY RECEIVES FREEDOM PRIZE FROM INTERNATIONAL WOMEN GROUP
 
While attending the 58th Congress of Liberal International (LI) in Abidjan (Côte d'Ivoire) Cambodian opposition leader Sam Rainsy yesterday received a Freedom Prize from an international women group affiliated with LI and based in Spain, "Dones Per La Libertat I La Democracia" (Women for Freedom and Democracy).
The Prize recipients are selected once every two years. Four people have been awarded this Liberal Women Freedom Prize as of today.
The previous recipient before Sam Rainsy was Simone Veil, former French senior Cabinet member, former President of the European Parliament and currently a member of the Académie Française.
The Prize is a reward for world figures who have been effectively defending human rights, especially those of women, children and ethnic minorities, and have helped preserve peoples' cultural identities.

Wrongful conviction doesn't count on world stage.The person should be in prison was Hun sen and his cronies for murdered the innocent khmers during coup defeat in 1997 grenades attacked that killed 19 protesters and wounded 120 bystanders/opposition protesters,according to Heng Pov,Hun Sen ordered his right man Hok Lundy to carried out the killing of khmers innocent people.Hun Sen and his Cpp henchmen should be jailed,not Sam Rainsy.

Justice.

This proves that Sam Rainsy is still recognized on the international stage despite a conviction by the kangaroo court in Cambodia.

The political system in Cambodia has been seen by the world as a child-play.
