It’s real exile now, says Rainsy

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.

It’s real exile now, says Rainsy

Post by phuketrichard »

no longer self exiled; its official;
This i would think makes him bigger thna he was
A directive banning opposition leader Sam Rainsy from entering Cambodia and airlines from carrying him into the country contravene the Constitution, an opposition lawyer said yesterday, while Rainsy himself said the order means he is no longer in “self-imposed exile”.

Seems it is Illegal as well;
“This is against the Constitution because this is Cambodia, and Cambodia is a country for all Cambodians. No one has an exclusive right on the country,” Sopheary said. “Article 33 of our Constitution states that citizens should not be deprived of their rights [as citizens], or exiled.”

“For this case, this is likely to exile him.”

Article 33 reads: “Cambodian citizens shall not be deprived of their nationality, exiled or arrested and deported to any foreign country unless there is a mutual agreement.”

Rainsy ban to protect airport, official claims

Thu, 27 October 2016
Bun Sengkong

The official who issued the ban on opposition leader Sam Rainsy’s return to Cambodia defended his decision in a radio interview on Tuesday, explaining that the directive was issued to avoid damage to airport infrastructure in the event that demonstrations broke out.

The ban on Rainsy’s return – and even on airplanes allowing him to board inbound flights – was issued by the Council of Ministers earlier this month, nearly a year after the CNRP leader again fled to Paris to avoid arrest. The ban, which amounts to state-sanctioned exile, has been roundly criticised by observers.

Tek Reth Samrach, a secretary of state at the Council of Ministers who issued the ban, said in an interview with Vayo FM that his decision was justified.

“We have to prevent it in advance. We see that his trip to Cambodia in the future under these political circumstances will lead to demonstrations,” Reth Samrach said. “When he enters, he would be arrested. There will be demonstrations, there will protests.”
