SRP North America's condemnation of the lifting of Sam Rainsy's immunity ... Public demonstration planned for Nov. 28

To: PRESS MEDIA AND KHMER PUBLICS

From: Office of the SRP North America Secretariat

The Sam Rainsy Party of North America wish to inform the press and the public of its condemnation, in the strongest term possible, of the Cambodian authority and its rubber-stamp National Assembly for removing the immunity of H.E. Sam Rainsy, elected member of the parliament. By such act, H.E. Sam Rainsy, duly elected representative of the people, has been deprived of his rights and duties to serve his constituencies.

Here once again, the Cambodian National Assembly, under the CPP’s majority, has irresponsibly and abusively violated the trust of the people. In this case, it has shown very little regard for concerns of its citizens whose lands have been lost due to border encroachment activities. It called into question whose interests this government and the National Assembly are representing?

The Sam Rainsy Party of North America requests that His Majesty the King and King Father, our Father of Independence, to intervene in calling for immediate re-instatement of immunity to H.E. Sam Rainsy. Furthermore, to come to the calls for help of their people by help ensuring justice, freedoms and our Cambodia’s territorial integrity.

A peaceful public demonstration will be held on November 28, 2009 in Washington, DC, USA and Ottawa, Canada. Detail planning is process and will be sent out later shortly.

We urge all Khmer compatriots to take part in support of our territorial integrity and to show our concerns to all victims of land losses.
