FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACT Thursday, August 3, 2006 Ed Skala: 202.225.2331 Kennedy To Rice: Make Hun Sen Listen Washington, D.C. - Congressman Mark Kennedy entered the following statement into the Congressional Record, urging U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice to rally the world community to remind Cambodia's Hun Sen regime of its obligations to its people. "Mr. Speaker, as we stand here today, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, and other representatives of the United States are attending the annual Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) in Kuala Lumpur. "As a Representative from a state with a large and vibrant Cambodian community, I have been very closely following issues on the ground in Cambodia. "For some time, I have been deeply concerned about Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen's policy of undermining democratic principles and justice. "Having met with leaders like Sam Rainsy, Mu Sochua and Kem Sokha, I have heard their chilling reports of routine violations of the Cambodian constitution's guarantees of freedom of expression and association. I have been outraged by Hun Sen's arbitrary arrests and violations of fundamental human dignity and respect. "I urge the Secretary of State to use the ASEAN forum to rally the world community to remind the Hun Sen regime of its obligations to its people. "The government must immediately end its systematic campaign to undermine democracy, the rule of law, and human rights in Cambodia. The Secretary should remind the regime that the American people, the world community, and the donor community that has provided $2 billion in aid to Cambodia is watching." |
