SAM RAINSY IN THE NETHERLANDS AND BELGIUM
Just after completing a three-week tour of the USA and Canada, opposition leader Sam Rainsy is currently in The Netherlands where he is meeting with Dutch government officials, Members of Parliament and NGOs. He is also being welcomed by the Cambodian community in The Netherlands who have come to greet him in The Hague and surrounding cities.
On 11-13 June, Sam Rainsy will spend a day and a half in Brussels where a reception in his honor will be hosted by the Cambodian community in Belgium. He will also meet with MEP Cecilia Wikstrom who, on behalf of many of her colleagues at the European Parliament, has asked for his return to Cambodia to take part in the preparations for the next elections in 2012 and 2013.
The message has been sent to the current Phnom Penh government that without the participation of the opposition leader representing Cambodia’s (by far) second largest political party, the forthcoming elections will not be considered as fair and legitimate by the international community, and any government stemming from such elections would therefore be viewed as illegitimate and not truly representing the free will of Cambodian people.
