SRP Members of Parliament support FBI help in journalist assassination investigation

On 14 July 2008 , the U.S. Embassy offered the support of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) in investigating the assassination of SRP-affiliated journalist Mr. Khim Sambor. Sam Rainsy Party (SRP) members of Parliament welcome the help of the FBI in this investigation. Thus far, the assassinations of many political activists, journalists, and artists have rarely experienced thorough investigations. This results in fear among the people that these extrajudicial killings are part of a conspiracy of those in power. NGOs and the international community have also demanded that the Cambodian government take responsibility for the investigation of these murders.

SRP members of Parliament request that the government accept the FBI's offer to help in the investigation of Mr. Khim Sabor's assassination. If the government had no involvement in the killing, there should be no hesitation to accept the FBI's help, which will aid in bringing justice to the family of the deceased and ensuring security for politicians, journalists, and all of the Cambodian people.
