Ney Leak, a 27-year-old supporter of the CNRP, said the CPP’s rhetoric is so overtly political she questions whether it’s even true that they rescued Cambodia from the Khmer Rouge.
Maybe she should question whether it's even true that both the CNRP's Kem Sokha and Sam Rainsy spent the 1980s and much later in parties (KPNLF/ FUNCINPEC) that were allied with Pol Pot and gave his murderous organization legitimacy at the UN and on the world stage? This was long after the massacres and slavery of the Pol Pot regime had been revealed to the world. Short memories. Now these people are suddenly interested in "human rights". :?
Silence, exile, and cunning.

was this a 'remembrance' thing
