April 27, 2009 RASMEI KAMPUCHEA IS A CPP TOOL TO COVER UP CRIMES COMMITTED BY CPP OFFICIALS After making a grave accusation against Sam Rainsy, pro-CPP newspaper Rasmei Kampuchea refuses to publish a clarification from the SRP and ignores journalist code of ethics. On April 23, 2009, Rasmei Kampuchea published a front-page article with a big headline: "Sam Rainsy is accused of grabbing public land in Sihanoukville." In the article, there is a photo with the following caption: "Stone fence with iron gate closing a dirt road at O Tres village on Mr. Sam Rainsy's land." Also on April 23, 2009, the SRP cabinet immediately wrote a clarification letter to Rasmei Kampuchea's editor specifying that Sam Rainsy owns no land whatsoever in Sihanoukville. But the SRP cabinet did specify that Sam Rainsy had a few friends who legally owned pieces of land in Sihanoukville and had invited Sam Rainsy to go there a few times. The SRP Cabinet has learned from those friends that a lady named Long Sakhorn, who is a CPP member of parliament, is trying to grab their lands by illegally filling an adjacent river. The victims decided to build a fence in order to prevent Mrs. Long Sakhorn from continuing to fill in the river, which is an act violating the public domain and destroying the environment. By its adamant refusal to publish the clarification from the SRP, Rasmei Kampuchea shows that it is paid by dishonest people to write stories to defame innocent people and that it is a tool for the CPP to cover up crimes committed by CPP officials.
