PHNOM PENH (AFP) - Cambodia has deployed armoured personnel
carriers and soldiers in Phnom Penh to prevent any violence if mass
demonstrations following hotly disputed polls go ahead.
The rare
sight Friday of armoured vehicles in the capital's streets comes after
rights groups said hundreds of security forces had been mobilised in the
city.
Local press on Friday published pictures of several
vehicles topped with heavy weapons apparently rolling into the capital's
suburbs.
"The deployment is not meant to intimidate the people...
it is a proactive measure to prevent any bad situation from happening,"
military police spokesman Kheng Tito told AFP, declining to confirm the
numbers of troops mobilised.
He said the move was to "maintain
security and public order" and the armed forces would remain in the city
until a new government is formed, ending a political deadlock which has
gripped the nation following last month's controversial election.
Strongman
premier Hun Sen's long-ruling Cambodian People's Party (CPP) claimed it
had won that poll -- one of the most fiercely contested votes seen in
the country.
But the opposition Cambodia National Rescue Party
(CNRP) said it was the real winner, rejecting the CPP's results on the
grounds of widespread voting irregularities.
Opposition leader Sam
Rainsy has repeatedly vowed to call for nationwide protests unless an
independent probe with United Nations participation is opened.
"We do not ban peaceful demonstrations, but if the protests turn violent the forces will take action," added Kheng Tito.
The CNRP has also threatened to boycott parliament, something Hun Sen has said would not prevent him forming a government.
CNRP spokeman Yim Sovann denounced the deployment of the soldiers as a threat.
"It is intimidation against the people, a threat against freedom of speech and demonstration," he told AFP.
Rights
group Amnesty International said hundreds of security forces had been
moved into Phnom Penh on Thursday, and called on Cambodian authorities
and political leaders to ensure a "tense and unpredictable"
post-election situation does not slip into violence.
"The
Cambodian security forces, which have a chequered record when policing
demonstrations, must refrain from using excessive or unnecessary force
against demonstrators," Isabelle Arradon, the group's deputy director
for the Asia-Pacific, said in the statement.
Cambodia's opposition
party earlier this week called on the UN to help resolve the dispute to
protect "the victory" of the people.
Hun Sen -- who has been in
power for 28 years -- has vowed to establish a government under his
leadership despite the opposition's allegations.

Do not believe CPP is a winner of Election because all the medias, Telecommunications and Information Ministry Dept. (controlled by corrupted and alcoholic Mr. Wisky Kanharith "Yuon/Vietnamese CPP crooked official", Education Dept (controlled by Vietnamese Crooked Official Ms. Vietcong Men Sam On), and Cable TVs (owned by Hun Sen's daughter Hun Mana and Vietnamese/CPP crooks) are controlled and owned by the Communist CPP (Cambodian "Communis" People Party) along with their communist Vietnamese corrupted officials "Hun Sen's Vietnamese bosses" and illegal business advisers "Hun Sen's illegal Vietnamese Business Advisers" from Hanoi, Vietnam. Those CPP corrupted officials, illegal Vietnamese "Yuon" business advisers for Hun Sen and other CPP and Vietnamese crooks and criminals in Cambodian Government Affairs in Phnom Penh have declared and announced the fake results of winning elections without proper counts and because of illegal Vietnamese voters, frauds, irregularities, no free and fair election, CPP-Owned National Election Committee "NEC" and CPP corrupted money "coming from illegal sales of Cambodian lands, forested-timbers, natural resources of Cambodian State. CPP are very bad and corrupted. All News coming from CPP controlled medians and Information Ministry are not reliable, true. Every news and announcement from CPP are fake because of Vietnamese dog Hun Sen who is controlled by his evil Vietnamese bosses (like Viet PM Dung) and followed the footstep of evil Ho Chi Minh into the bad dream of reality and nightmare."
We don't think CPP won the election because of the result of CPP with 68 seats and CNRP with 55 seats. There is no transparency of voting counts, but cheating, voting buying, CPP threats to Cambodian people's lives, intimidation, irregularities, CPP-Owned Medias/TVs and Telecomm., and more. Again, CPP did not or have not won the election. CNRP is a winner with 63 seats and CPP with 60 seats even though the NEC is not independence because of CPP control over NEC and corruptions or by military bodyguards and polices provided by his Vietnamese partners in Hanoi like PM Dung of Communist Vietnam.
Opposition Parties like CNRP, KAPP, FUNCIPEC, CLD, etc., do not own any medias, cable TVs, information ministry dept., education detp., but only CPP.
That is why the fake information has been announced by corrupted and crooked CPP officials of Hun Sen, that CPP won.
Again and again, Yuon/Vietnamese CPP of Vietnamese Installed Prime Minister Hun Sen LOST the election on July 28, 2013 and CNRP of Mr. Kem Sokha and Mr. Sam Rainsy WON the election with 63 or more seats vs 60 or less seats with vote fraud and irregularities.
So, please don't believe CPP Medias/Cable TVs announcement and News because CPP Officials are misleading the information and medias in Cambodia.
CPP is a loser of all time.
