Regarding the declaration made by opposition leader Sam Rainsy linking the current CPP leaders to the Khmer Rouge leaders, Cheam Yeap, a henchman of the CPP regime and a CPP MP, rejected this accusation. He also warned that Sam Rainsy could face another lawsuit because of such accusation. Cheam Yeab said: “If the three Samd-achs – Samd-ach Chea Xim, Samd-ach Hun Xen and Samd-ach Heng Xamrin – give an eye signal to the lawyers, these lawyers could sue Mr. Sam Rainsy and the latter could face more jail time. (sic!) But, I know that Mr. Sam Rainsy is desperate, he wants to return back home, this is why he raises one issue after another.” Cheam Yeap added that Samd-ach Chea Xim, Samd-ach Hun Xen and Samd-ach Heng Xamrin knew that Pol Pot was a traitor to the nation and he killed people, that’s why these KR traitors fled to Vietnam to form the 02 December 1978 movement to liberate people from the KR regime [KI-Media Note: Vietnam said they were the one who liberated Cambodia, Hun Xen, Chea Xim and Heng Xamrin only hitched a ride with them.]
