Sam Rainsy Party (SRP) Youth Wing leader Soung Sophorn has thrown down the gauntlet to Prime Minister Hun Sen, inviting him to attend the hearing into the premeditated murder case he has brought against the premier.

Senior SRP officials have distanced the party from his “personal” cause, but maintained support for him in his fight for justice over the Koh Pich bridge stampede, which Sophorn has now vowed to take to the International Court of Justice.

Sophorn yesterday said he had plenty of evidence to prove the premier was guilty of premeditated murder for failing to pre-empt the Koh Pich tragedy on the final day of the Water Festival in 2010.

But he said he was keeping the most damning evidence close to his chest until Friday, the day of the hearing.

“I have no phobia of Hun Sen’s threatening because I am well prepared ahead of the submission of my complaint,” he said.

“In December I will go to launch the complaint at the International [Criminal] Court in the Netherlands.”

Hun Sen has threatened to sue Sophorn for defamation if found not guilty, and further alleged his actions are politically motivated by the SRP.

It hasn’t frightened Sophorn, who yesterday extended the list of government officials he intended to take to the ICC to include Minister of Interior Sar Kheng, for allegedly allowing Vietnamese immigrants to illegally enter the country.


Sophorn also pledged to file a case at the International Criminal Court (ICC) against environment minister Mok Mareth for illegal logging and said he plans to sue Minister of the Palace Kong Sam Ol, who chaired the investigation into the stampede, Phnom Penh governor Kep Chuktema and the city’s police chief, Touch Naruth.

SRP party whip Son Chhay stressed at a press conference on Tuesday that Sophorn’s battle against the premier did not represent the party’s policy.

Yesterday he said that, while he supported the “brave young man” for raising awareness on an important issue, he felt Sophorn had gone too far in threatening to take ministers such as Mok Mareth and Sar Kheng to the ICC.

“With the others, I am not in a position to support him, because I think he overdoes it,” he said.

Political analyst Sok Touch said Saphorn’s complaint was little more than a political stunt ahead of next year’s national election.

“Only the court is eligible to file a complaint of premeditated murder, so, if he sues like this, it mirrors highly political behaviour,” he said.

Sok Sam Oeun, executive director of the Cambodian Defenders Project, said the charge was also inappropriate, because for premeditated murder, there had to be intent to kill in the first place.

“It is not so, because [the stampede] is the first time this happened in Cambodia and we have no law relating to safety of location,” he said, adding that civil actions could feasibly be filed for compensation.

After the tragedy, where 353 died and 393 were injured, a government investigation found no individuals at fault but concluded there had been “joint responsibility”.

The victims’ families were each given $1,230 compensation by the government.

You're very brave man indeed! I admired your courage and patriotic to find justice for khmer's victims that died cause by someone intention to kill them.You should sue the security or the mayor of that city that coordinate the event,the event coordinated by the mayor and the mayor was assigned police forces to protect people but they didn't do their job right thatwise these people dies because of stamped the govt were not provide security and safety for them.You Mr Sophorn you sue a wrong people my friend Hun sen wasn't incharged of coordinating that event so you have a very slim or no chance to win the case.You should sue the police chief or mayor of that city they were the right person to sue.I am very proud of you but your will not win,further more,you put yourself in dangerous situation you fight a lost battle my friend,you should seek help before you start to announce to the thug Hun sen.Well,I wish you the best of luck may god be with you and help you regardless of the out come you're a hero in the eyes of many cambodians people including me.

I don’t think so Mr. Sophorn fears of death threat, surely he knows in advance about consequences he will face but whatever the outcome it won’t stop him from doing so. Mr. Sophorn is a brave-heart and rhetoric man we want more brave-heart like him in Cambodia. He is fighting for a good cause and not dying in vain.

He is a brave man indeed, but his bravery will cost him his freedom like Mam Sonando or, worst, he could get assassinated by Hun Sen's agents.

"Senior SRP officials have distanced the party from his “personal” cause!" Why the party let him down. At least try to help him go to the Hague and then let him joint the president in the exile. How the party abandoned this super hero? Why?

If Sophorn is going to die for doing the right thing, let's support him. Those who think differently, even god can't help them with their stupidity. When will they wake up - is it when their family members get lynched by the hired thugs of the CPP ?? By then it will be too late. Prevention is better than protection. Many of us will not forget Chhut Vuthy and the like. Suong Sophorn is a courageous Khmer unlike certain opposition party leader who is so scared of threats with his multiple overseas escape. Chei Yoo Sophorn chea ti korup!!!

Actually Sophoan may just want to live in a foreign country like in the US or Canada. He has a good chance to be accepted as refugee there since he can no longer live in his own country. So the PPenh court should help him to make the “premeditated” dream come true.
