Press Release Phnom Penh: 23 September 2009 ______THE CCHR WELCOMES THE ACQUITTAL OF HO VANN open in browser customize free license contest pdfcrowd.com

The Cambodian Center for Human Rights (CCHR) welcomes the decision by Judge Sin Visal of the Phnom Penh Court of First Instance to dismiss the charge of defamation against Sam Rainsy Party lawmaker Ho Vann, arising from a complaint made by 22 officers of the Royal Cambodian Armed Forces.

In his verdict on 22 September 2009 Judge Sin Visal stated that there was insufficient evidence to convict Ho Vann of the defamation charge. The CCHR commends this decision which can perhaps be viewed as the green shoots of judicial independence in Cambodia. Such progress is very welcome.

The CCHR recalls that Cambodia Law provides that Ho Vann’s parliamentary immunity will be automatically restored.

The CCHR is concerned with the fines imposed against Neou Vannarin and Kevin Doyle of the Cambodia Daily, and urges the Cambodian judiciary to respect freedom of expression. Nevertheless, the CCHR commends Judge Sin Visal for his decision to acquit Ho Vann, and hopes that this represents a new departure on the part of the Cambodian judiciary whereby independence and impartiality will be guaranteed. open in browser customize free license contest pdfcrowd.com

There is no doubt that whenever the Court found not guilty or dropped the charge against any SRP MP, the SRP will applause to the Court's verdict, but if the same Court found guilty of any SRP MP, the SRP will condemn to the Court. That is the pattern of SRP, the party always been a loser.

I believe that international reaction that make Hun Sen ordered the court to drop the charges. Hun Sen don't want to hear the public outcry which could irritate the donor countries.

If possible, I would like our constitution be reformed. Working base on human right approach, by having a law and order to protect civilians, as well as the freedom to do whatever people want to do in term of rebuilding the country. I would to see Hun Sen works in partnership with the opposition leader rather then against them. This is the only way for him to be more success in whatever he wants to do.

At first, We would like to congratulate Samdech Deycho Hun Sen for accomplishing severals smart harding jobs.

By contrast SRP were retarded people, they need to be explain many times before they are able to understand a simple sentense. For that reasons, they were always losers even their families had broken a part. Sore losers SRP.

AH New Phally, when are you going to stop acting stupid?

You are making the CPP look bad.

Why the CPP's supporters are so stupid?

Can someone answer this question?

Perhaps, AH New Phally can answer this question.
