RAINSY SEES THE DEVIL IN THE DETAILS OF
NEC'S RULES
I am puzzled to read in the
Phnom Penh Post (September 21, 2006) NEC Secretary-General Tep Nytha's letter
saying: "it was
to satisfy the opposition parties that the voter cards of the previous elections
were abandoned as a valid document both to register and to vote." This would be
indeed the first time that the CPP-dominated NEC would have made a decision with
far-reaching consequences just to satisfy the opposition. We did denounce some
irregularities in the past but the remedy they now choose proves to be worse
than the disease.

BAN ON GLOBAL
WITNESS INDEFENSIBLE

re-opened for Global Witness work unless the government has something to

TRIBUTE TO AUNG SAN SUU KYI
|
|
|
June
19 is Aung San Suu Kyi’s birthday. The world's only imprisoned Nobel
Peace Prize winner will turn 60 tomorrow. She is probably also the
world’s greatest living woman. I had the honor to meet
her in Rangoon in August 1996. She received me very simply and very warmly at her
home. It was during a lull in her harsh political life, as we can see in
retrospect, since she has been moving from house arrest to jail and back
to house arrest again.
