Pardons for CNRP in prison ?
I am reading it all over the media today that the big man is indicating he will now pardon the CNRP that he imprisoned.... Absurd?

What media? I can't find anything about it online.
Silence, exile, and cunning.

Re: Pardons for CNRP in prison ?
Fresh news. Something about a general pardon for 'convicts', but there's no date announced. It seems to be part of the post-election freeing of perceived trouble-makers.
http://en.freshnewsasia.com/index.php/e ... 14-39.htmlKandal (FN), August 23 – Prime Minister HE announced to propose to the King for amnesties for convicts, including the 12 Cambodian opposition party members at the upcoming Pchum Ben or Water Festival.
The announcement was made on Thursday, addressing to 17,500 workers from 12 enterprises and factories in Kandal province.
The premier, however, warned that amnesty was not proposed due to foreigners’ pressure.
“I propose to the King to grant amnesty thanks to my compassion, not pressure from foreigners,” said the premier.
The Royal Government has conducted series of releases of Cambodian political analyst, land activists, and journalists detained in 2016 and 2017. Some was done based on the court’s discretion and procedure, others through amnesty.
Amnesty is normally practiced during three major festivals in Cambodia: Khmer New Year, Water Festival and Visakha Bochea – the day of Birth, Enlightenment and the Entrance into the Nirvana (Death) of Lord Buddha. Today, however, the premier could also propose that amnesty be granted on Independence Day, or the day of the inauguration of Win-Win Memorial –commemorating win-win policy – to be held on 29 December, a few days before New Year.
Warning to released 'convicts'.

Prime Minister-designate HE on Thursday hinted that he could soon request that a royal pardon is issued for 12 imprisoned members of the court-dissolved Cambodia National Rescue Party (CNRP). But he was quick to say the move wasn’t a response to international pressure.

I read the same on twitter. He said he would be open to pardoning them as long as no one mentioned it was due to international pressure. Whatever that was supposed to mean or achieve.John Bingham wrote:What media? I can't find anything about it online.
