CAMBODIA: Opposition echoes UN call for Tribunal judge's reinstatement

Updated August 24, 2007 19:29:05

Cambodia's opposition leader Sam Rainsy has gone from strength to strength in his political aspirations since returning to his homeland from exile last year. His eponymous Sam Rainsy Party performed well in April's commune elections, running on a platform of social justice and democratic reform. The party believes it has a real chance of taking over in power from Prime Minister Hun Sen. In the past week the party's also joined the UN in criticising the transfer of a key judge serving on the Khmer Rouge Tribunal, calling it politically motivated.

Presenter: Corinne Podger
Speakers: Prominent Cambodian MP Tioulong Saumura, wife of Sam Rainsy
