ព្រឹទ្ធសភាមិនចង់ឱ្យចំណុចរសើបរបស់ខ្លួនត្រូវបានផ្សព្វផ្សាយ

NB: No matter the outer appearance and rhetoric, the substance and character of the power that be behind this most symbolic of national law-making institution remain unchanged over the years. In 1997 hand grenades were tossed into an opposition Sam Rainsy party gathering yards outside the old National Assembly, killing and maiming mostly women, men and young participants who were there to take part in a peaceful event. Weeks earlier this year [2015] two CNRP law-makers were violently and brutally beaten unconscious outside, yet again, the gate of the current National Assembly building. On-lookers were either too frightened to intervene on the victims' behalf, or were themselves part of the organised mob violence that has come to characterise the odious "Third Hand" tactic of the ruling CPP regime and authorities in their response to perceived threat to their own decades old single party rule and control over the people of Cambodia.
