Phnom Penh – On Thursday morning, Kampot SRP MP Mu Sochua declared that she is maintaining her stance of not paying compensation to Hun Xen.
Mrs. Mu Sochua said during a press conference held at the party headquarters in Phnom Penh that she would rather go to jail than paying 8 million riels in compensation to Hun Xen and 8.5 million riels in fine to the state treasury.
She claimed that the reason she refused to pay anything is because Cambodia’s judicial system is unfair and biased toward Hun Xen.
Sok Roeun, the deputy prosecutor of the Phnom Penh municipal court, said that the ultimatum for Mrs. Mu Sochua to pay her fine and compensation will end on 16 July 2010.
He added that the court will take legal measures if Mrs. Mu Sochua still opposes the payment as ordered by the court.
Nevertheless, Sok Roeun did not yet show what these measures would be, and he said that by tomorrow, everybody will know what the measures will be.
The dispute between Hun Xen and Mrs. Mu Sochua took place in 2009 when Mrs. Mu Sochua sued Hun Xen of defaming her. On 02 July 2010, the Supreme Court decided that Mrs. Mu Sochua lost her case to Hun Xen.
In the past, both the Phnom Penh municipal court and the Appeal court have decided that Mrs. Mu Sochua lost her case to Hun Xen as well. The court ordered her to pay 16 million riels: 8 million in compensation to Hun Xen and 8 million in fine to the state treasury.
