APPEAL
TO PARLIAMENTARIANS OF ALL COUNTRIES |

My name is Sam Rainsy. I am a
member of Cambodia’s National Assembly. This is the second time that I appeal to
the solidarity of parliamentarians throughout the world. I made my first appeal
in 1995, hoping at that time to be able to prevent my expulsion from the
National Assembly. I had been first expelled from my party, which is one of
Cambodia’s ruling parties, but subsequently I was also expelled from the
National Assembly because I was the only parliamentarian who dared criticize the
Government.

heureux que l’on enlève l’immunité parlementaire de trois députés

Election Observers: For a Better Registration Outcome
The SRP Parliamentarians share some NGO’s
concern that the October 2004 voter registration process has
basically faltered. A group of experienced election observers –
Comfrel, Nicfec, Youth Council of Cambodia, and other NGOs –
jointly claim that the registration has not been as effective as
it could have been. The National Election Committee (NEC) could
manage to register, as at 18 October 2004, only 29 percent of

providing “false information” to former King Norodom Sihanouk.
Some high-profile MPs argued the letter had led to the King’s
retirement. And, it has been a rumour that the charge the
Opposition leader has now to answer for could be that his letter
has severe implications on the national security.

L’article
intitulé « Le roi juge sévèrement les choix de Sam
Rainsy » paru dans Cambodge
Soir du 8 septembre 2004 peut soulever des questions auprès
de vos lecteurs qui ne sont pas au courant de la teneur des
entretiens que j’ai eus avec Sa Majesté le Roi à Pyongyang
et à Pékin en juin et août derniers.
Question : Pourquoi le PSR a-t-il « refusé de suivre le Funcinpec, qui
fut pourtant son allié durant presque un an, dans la
constitution d’un gouvernement de coalition avec le PPC » ?
Réponse : Le
Funcinpec et le PSR avaient formé, au lendemain des élections
de juillet 2003, l’Alliance des démocrates pour faire
contrepoids au PPC et, pour cela, ils s’étaient engagés à
lutter toujours ensemble – soit à l’intérieur du
gouvernement, soit au sein d’une Grande opposition – sur la
base de principes démocratiques, pour mieux défendre les intérêts
de la nation.

LA
FAÇADE DEMOCRATIQUE PRESENTE DES LEZARDES DE PLUS EN PLUS
PROFONDES
|
|
Je me permets de vous
soumettre ci-dessous, à l’attention des lecteurs de Cambodge Soir,
une réflexion sur l’évolution récente de la situation politique au
Cambodge que l’on pourrait intituler « Dérive totalitaire ».
Depuis les élections
organisées par les Nations unies et le rétablissement de la
monarchie en 1993, le Cambodge peut se
prévaloir d’une façade démocratique. Mais
cette façade présente des lézardes de plus en plus profondes
montrant l’intérieur d’un régime qui est le
dévoiement d’une tentative de
démocratisation authentique. Deux facteurs sont à l’origine de ce
dévoiement: d’une part, le scrutin de liste
instituant la représentation proportionnelle
intégrale (sans combinaison avec le
scrutin majoritaire pour un nombre de
circonscriptions électorales) aboutit à une
domination des partis sur la vie politique
au détriment des idées et des initiatives citoyennes d’origine
individuelle ou associative; d’autre part,
l’absence de démocratie interne dans des
partis politiques d’origine communiste ou de type princier
conduit à la concentration de tous les
pouvoirs d’Etat entre les mains d’une personne ou
d’un petit clan d’associés agissant au nom des
deux partis politiques constituant la «
majorité parlementaire ».

Monsieur le Directeur,
Selon Cambodge Soir du 20 août,
l’exclusion du Parti Sam Rainsy de toutes les commissions de l’Assemblée
nationale a été présentée par le prince Norodom Ranariddh comme une « punition »
infligée par le PPC et le Funcinpec à l’opposition parlementaire qui avait
refusé de cautionner l’amendement constitutionnel instaurant la procédure très
controversée du vote en bloc. Full

URGENT ACTION TO PROTECT CAMBODIAN POLITICAL LEADERS
Boston
July 28, 2004
On behalf of the National Democratic Institute for International
Affairs (NDI) we are expressing our concern over threats made against the Sam
Rainsy Party in Cambodia. The Cambodian government has recently indicated that
it may take steps that threaten the party's very existence. In recent remarks,
Prime Minister Hun Sen, has called members of the party "spies," labeled
the party as "subversive," and stated that the party could be banished from
Parliament. It has come to our attention that leaders of the party have been
threatened
with arrest. Full

Senator McCain issued the following statement on the situation

“I am deeply concerned by reports that Prime Minister Hun Sen
has stepped up threats against Cambodia’s democratic opposition.
Hun Sen has engaged in intimidating rhetoric, including a
far-fetched allegation that Sam Rainsy Party members are
organizing an armed insurgency designed to topple the
government. The Prime Minister’s highly inflammatory remarks are
inconsistent with the government’s obligation to ensure the
safety and security of the Cambodian people. Full Story

“Mr. President, I’d like to take a moment to comment on the
situation in Cambodia. Last Sunday, (July 18), Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen delivered nationally-televised speech
accusing democratic opposition party leader Sam Rainsy
and his fellow parliamentarians of organizing an armed
insurgency to overthrow the government. Concerned for their
safety, a number of these leaders fled the country. My son Jonathan
happened to be in Cambodia at the time and witnessed these events.

Opposition Will Not Give In, or Give Up
The SRP Members of Parliament note with
disappointment that their expectation has actually materialised; the
very first thing the illegitimate government has embarked upon is to
squash the Opposition. The ruling parties’ priority now is to break
the SRP with carrots and sticks, as if they do not have urgent matters
of national interests to attend to – like poverty reduction.
At least
five SRP Members of Parliament, namely Ahmad Yahya, Cheam Channy,
Kieng Vang, Ngo Sovann, Yim Sovann, and senator Chao Phally have been
offered positions in the new government – some are accompanied with
threats of negative repercussions if refused – as if it is not yet
huge enough to sink a Titanic. The threat delivered to one of them has
come true. After his decline, SRP Parliamentarian Chheam Channy was
duly implicated in what Prime Minister Hun Sen yesterday referred to
as a revolt plan of the Opposition party, involving recruits for rebel
forces. The SRP categorically denies such baseless allegations.

NEW GOVERNMENT IS ILLEGITIMATE AND MUST BE CONDEMNED
The SRP Members of National Assembly denounce the
unconstitutional formation today of an illegal government, and call
upon all those who are committed to the rule of law and democratic
principles, especially donor countries, to make it clear to the coup
leaders in Phnom Penh that their government will not be acceptable.
The new
government has failed to gain legitimacy, integrity, and dignity and
therefore cannot represent the Cambodian people since it was formed
following a violation of the Constitution and by using threat and
intimidation against Members of Parliament. The Acting Head of State,
Samdech Chea Sim, who is also the ruling party president, was purged
and sent into temporary exile for refusing to conspire in the illegal
scheme to suspend relevant Articles of the Constitution. In effect,
there has been a two-step coup against the State and the ruling
Cambodian People’s Party.

SAMDECH CHEA SIM MUST BE FREE TO ACT
I
would like to make an urgent appeal to the international community,
especially friends of Cambodia who uphold democracy and human rights,
to condemn in no uncertain terms the threat
and intimidation targeted at Samdech Chea
Sim, the Acting Head of State of Cambodia. According to reliable
sources, his residence has been surrounded
by armed police force since 2:00 am this
morning. His fate remains unknown.
Samdech Chea Sim has been under tremendous pressure within his party,
the ruling Cambodian People’s Party (CPP),
to promulgate in the King’s absence the
controversial legislation, “Addition to the Constitution". Even His
Majesty King Norodom Sihanouk has explicitly
questioned the legitimacy of the legislation
passed in the National Assembly on 8 July 2004 and in the Senate
on 12 July 2004; and he refused to sign the
promulgation. The King has, instead, asked
Senate President Chea Sim, his representative in the country,
to act in accordance to his conscience in this
grave matter, and has suggested that a
popular referendum be organized.

SRP Members of parliament Oppose Constitutional Coup
History
will remember that today, 8 July 2004, the Cambodian People’s Party under
the compulsion of Mr Hun Sen and Funcinpec led by Prince Norodom Ranariddh
agreed to suspend the Constitution of the Kingdom of Cambodia, in
particular the provisions concerning the procedures for a functioning
National Assembly (Article 82) and the formation of the Royal Government
(Article 119). The suspension of the Constitution – through an
unconstitutional “addition to the Constitution” supposedly adopted this
morning – signifies nothing other than a constitutional coup. This coup is
by and large directed towards His Majesty the King; through a violation of
the Constitution, it seeks to exclude the King from the process of forming
the new government.

Consensus Show-of-Hands
Makes Package Vote Unnecessary
The SRP Members of Parliament are very much concerned with the pending
severe violation of the Constitution through the proposed “package vote”,
which is effectively driven by mistrust within the CPP and Funcinpec. The
SRP has put forward to leaders of the two parties a suggestion that can
avoid the unconstitutional package vote.
A formula to deal with the mistrust is to legally allow a show-of-hands
voting procedure under exceptional circumstances, which would ensure –
without the package vote – an election of the new National Assembly
leadership and a vote of confidence for the government. The formula is
based on a single amendment to Clause 40 of the National Assembly Internal
Rules to allow for the show-of-hands vote. Clause 40 currently stipulates
that secret ballot is mandatory for a vote of confidence and sanction.
