[Cambodian (Monkey)] Bar [Association] Cites Ethics Violations by Opposition

Original report from Phnom Penh
18 June 2009
The Cambodian Bar Association has called in for questioning a lawyer for an
opposition parliamentarian who is fighting a defamation suit from Prime
Minister Hun Sen.
Cambodian Bar Association Chiv Songhak told VOA Khmer Thursday the bar had
charged Kong Sam Onn with violations of articles four, six and 15 of the code
of ethics.
Ky Tech, former head of the Bar Association and a lawyer for Hun Sen,
complained to the bar in April that Kong Sam Onn had violated a code of ethics
in speeches made to the media, following a defamation suit brought by Mu Sochua
against Hun Sen.
The court has since dropped the suit against Hun Sen, for allegedly degrading
remarks made in the 2008 election campaign, but it is pursuing a countersuit
filed by Hun Sen.
The retaliatory lawsuit highlights lingering questions of political bias within
the court system, which critics say is in dire need of reform.
“We do not close our eyes to punish and to fine the innocent,” he said. “We
find out the facts,” Chiv Songhak said. “If [Kong Sam Onn] has acted with
wrongdoing in violations of the code of ethics for licensed lawyers, we must
punish him at the proper level of his wrongdoing.”
Kong Sam Onn, who will address the bar’s 19-member council on July 7, faces a
range of punishment, including a mere warning, a fine, the suspension of his
license, or disbarring.
He told VOA Khmer Thursday the charges against him were “baseless.”
“Every lawyer speaks with journalists and there is no charge and there is no
fine,” he said. “But in my case, the Cambodian Bar Association must raise this
for discussion.”

Hok Lundy, the former number 1 of the Cambodian police, on the post since 1994,
58 years old and a 4 star general, died on November 9th, 2008 in a helicopter
crash when he flew from Phnom Penh to his native province of Svay Rieng. The
three other passengers of the aircraft were the deputy commander of the land
army forces, Sok Sa Em, and the 2 pilots. All of them died.
Until now, the authorities (the Courts and the police) have not issued any
outcome of the criminal investigation. Yet, Hok Lundy was the chief of the
police. The government in power in Phnom Penh would apparently like to hush up
the investigation held on this case.
After eyewitnesses, only Hok Lundy’s corpse, among 4, was torn to tiny pieces
by the outburst. Before his funerals, doctors spent a long time sewing pieces
scattered back on his corpse. The explosion of a bomb, put under Hok Lundy’s
seat, caused the helicopter accident and the loss of a large part of the
corpse. The man who caused the bomb attack, had certainly decided to eliminate
him, considering the power of the bomb.
