February 25, 2009 DEMARCHE TO PREVENT THE LIFTING OF SAM RAINSY'S PARLIAMENTARY IMMUNITY The following demarche was made today to prevent the lifting of SRP President Sam Rainsy's parliamentary immunity: 1- Sam Rainsy lodged a complaint at the Constitutional Council pointing to the unconstitutionality/illegality of recent election-related decisions made by the National Election Committee and the Constitutional Council. Those decisions are pertaining to a "criminal offence" that is under the exclusive jurisdiction of the Tribunal under the Supreme Court. 2- As required by the law, a number (17) of National Assembly Members wrote to the Constitutional Council to support Sam Rainsy's legal complaint. 3- Sam Rainsy wrote to National Assembly President Heng Samrin to inform him about the SRP demarche.
