Opposition leader Sam Rainsy could face arrest if he refuses to show up in court as summoned by the investigating judge. A source indicated that the exiled opposition leader will be summoned by the Phnom Penh municipal court to clarify in the lawsuit case brought up by the government which accused him of disinformation and falsification of public argument. The same source indicated that if Sam Rainsy refused to show up in court, the latter will issue an order to arrest and bring him in to court because this is the second summon issued by the Phnom Penh municipal court following the lawsuit brought up by the government lawyer. The summon order was issued by Oeung Sieng, the investigation judge, dated 26 March 2010, based on the 25 February 2010 lawsuit brought up by Ky Tech, the government representative, accusing 60-year-old Sam Rainsy of falsifying public documents, using false letter and publication of false information in Phnom Penh in February 2010 as stipulated in Articles 48 and 62 of the UNTAC era criminal law. The end of the summon stated that: “in the event the person summoned refused to come to court as stipulated above, we will issue an order to arrest and bring him in to court.”
