Yesterday, opposition leader Sam Rainsy said that he will not ask his lawyer to defend him in the defamation and disinformation lawsuit against him. The lawsuit was brought by Hor 5 Hong, the minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, on an event taking place in 2008. The court hearing is scheduled for 05 April. In an email sent yesterday, opposition leader Sam Rainsy said that he will not ask his lawyer to participate in the hearing because it is the same case as in the past, and the case will end up with the same sentence as in the past. Opposition leader Sam Rainsy who currently lives in self-exile in Paris said: “According the law and the justice system, a person could not be sentenced twice for the same case (i.e. no double jeopardy).”
