Opposition leader seeks to restore immunity, privileges

Give our kids a better deal
PHNOM PENH, 23rd July 2013 (The Cambodia Herald) -- Sam Rainsy has sent a letter to the National Assembly chairman, Heng Samrin, asking for parliamentary immunity and his privileges to be restored.

“According to article 15 of statutory law, any convicted lawmakers will receive restored immunity, privileges and validity after receiving a royal pardon from King”, said the letter issued Tuesday by Sam Rainsy.

“I ask the National Assembly Chairman to examine and give his decision to grant my immunity and privileges in order to let me fulfil my duty as a lawmaker”, the letter said.

Sam Rainsy, Cambodia National Rescue Party (CNRP) leader who is seen the main challenger to Prime Minister Hun Sen, returned from exile on Friday of last week.

Rainsy was welcomed and greeted by thousands of supporters after his return.

He failed to register and run as a parliamentary candidate in Kandal province against Hun Sen after the National Election Committee (NEC) denied his request yesterday. He was seeking reinstatement in the voters list for this weekend’s poll.


He is currently campaigning with Kem Sokha, acting president of CNRP, in what is seen as the main provinces in Cambodia, before the general election on July 28.
