King-Father rejected the request made by Sam Rainsy to intervene in the charges brought against him regarding the uprooting of border stakes in Svay Rieng. The rejection was
announced in a letter signed and sent by Prince Thomico to Kong Korm, the SRP party vice-president. Thomico informed Kong Korm that the ex-monarch cannot intervene on behalf of Sam Rainsy. He indicated that the reason behind this rejection is because the ex-monarch has already retired since 16 October 2004. Furthermore, Sam Rainsy’s lawsuit case is a political matter, and he cannot interfere in political issues. Thomico added that Sam Rainsy’s case has already reached the judicial system already, and according to the Cambodian Constitution, the court system is an independent institution (sic!). Therefore, nobody can interfere in the court system (sic!).
