Kem Sokha nearly arrested

Cambodia news in English! Here you'll find all the breaking news from Cambodia translated into English for our international readership and expat community to read and comment on. The majority of our news stories are gathered from the local Khmer newspapers, but we also bring you newsworthy media from Cambodia before you read them anywhere else. Because of the huge population of the capital city, most articles are from Phnom Penh, but Siem Reap, Sihanoukville, and Kampot often make the headlines as well. We report on all arrests and deaths of foreigners in Cambodia, and the details often come from the Cambodian police or local Khmer journalists. As an ASEAN news outlet, we also publish regional news and events from our neighboring countries. We also share local Khmer news stories that you won't find in English anywhere else. If you're looking for a certain article, you may use our site's search feature to find it quickly.

Gov't-produced video sums up Sokha scandal

Mon, 13 June 2016
Mech Dara and Ananth Baliga

The Council of Ministers’ Press and Quick Reaction Unit (PQRU) released a 30-minute, documentary-style video detailing Kem Sokha’s alleged sex scandal and laying a case to justify the actions of the courts in handling criminal proceedings against the CNRP deputy president.

The video, released on Saturday and set to Cambodian singer Noy Vanneth’s song Whose Fault?, uses an interview with Justice Ministry spokesman Kim Santepheap and television clips of Prime Minister HE and the head of the government’s Cambodia Human Rights Committee (CHRC), Keo Remy, to lay out a timeline of events surrounding Sokha’s case.

The video also uses images of Sokha at various events over the past months, footage from court proceedings and events related to Sokha’s case, as well as an audio recording purportedly of a phone conversation between Sokha and an alleged mistress.

The opposition Cambodia National Rescue Party (CNRP) has called on unions and party members to gather at their headquarters in Phnom Penh and monitor the political situation ahead of a scheduled court date for Mr. Sokha that he has already said he will not attend. The government is now preparing to arrest him.

At a graduation ceremony on Koh Pich for the Royal University of Phnom Penh (RUPP) yesterday, Mr. HE slammed the opposition and completely shut down any hope of dialogue between the two parties.

“[They] create problems to burn down a house, and then tell everyone to extinguish it,” he said. “Now the fire is burning their own house.

“Do not threaten to strike or mention the word protest,” he added. “If you want to play, then I’ve already told you what will happen..."
