Students Accuse Kem Sokha of Murder Over Abortion Remark

by Kuch Naren | March 26, 2016

A group of university students who have been pressing deputy opposition leader Kem Sokha to publicly explain allegations of marital infidelity, and who have filed complaints with various government bodies accusing him of corruption and immorality, have arrived at perhaps their most unusual tactic yet: accusing Mr. Sokha of murder and human rights violations for asking his girlfriend to get an abortion.

The leader of the student group, Srey Chamroeun, said the roughly 40 youths submitted a petition on Friday to the National Assembly’s human rights commission and the president of the Assembly, demanding that Mr. Sokha be hauled in for questioning over an audio recording in which he can purportedly be heard asking a girlfriend to obtain an abortion after she tells him she believes she is pregnant.

“We just submitted a petition urging His Excellency Eng Chhay Eang to help hasten the summoning of him for questioning over an audio recording saying that he forced his lover to get an abortion, which is a violation of human rights,” Mr. Chamroeun said.

“At this point, it’s a murder case,” he said, “because he forced a woman to abort a fetus and because the baby is also a human life, so he’s guilty in accordance with the law for forcing and inciting a woman to do something against the law.”

Abortion has been legal in Cambodia since 1997, and there is no evidence that Mr. Sokha forced anybody to undergo the procedure.

Lol. The "students" are obviously genuine concerned citizens.I was wondering what they would try next. Thought it might be "sodomy" like they do in Malaysia, but it's probably not a crime here. Never mind, neither is abortion.
I'm taking bets that KS will next be accused of treason or genocide. Or tax evasion could also be a good reason to arrest a cambodian politician, since I'm sure that all the others pay their taxes - just like they don't have mistresses or accept illicit payments. :roll:
