柬埔寨一名主要反对党的议员在被警告说她可能被以涉及推翻政府阴谋的罪名逮捕之后逃离了柬埔寨。
柬埔寨救国党副主席莫淑华星期二离开了金边。一天前,柬埔寨总理洪森誓言要对所有可能卷入这个阴谋的人采取行动。
柬埔寨救国党主席根索卡9月3号被从家中带走,受到叛国罪的指控。政府说,这项指控基于根索卡在2013年的一段视频中的讲话。根索卡在视频中说,他得到美国的帮助,要在柬埔寨发展民主运动。
柬埔寨救国党的一位高级官员星期二晚上在推特上说,莫淑华在得到一位高级政府官员的警告后逃到境外。自从根索卡被逮捕以来,将近一半的救国党议员已经逃离了柬埔寨。
A leading Cambodian opposition lawmaker has fled the country after being warned that she faces arrest in connection with an alleged plot to overthrow the government.
Mu Sochua, the deputy president of the Cambodia National Rescue Party, left Phnom Penh on Tuesday, one day after Prime Minister Hun Sen vowed to take action against others who may have taken part in the alleged plot.
CNRP leader Kem Sokha was taken from his home on September 3 and charged with treason. The government said the charges were based on comments Kem Sokha made on a video dating back to 2013, in which he claims to have received help from the United States to build a pro-democracy movement in Cambodia.
Kem Monovithya, a high-ranking CNRP official, said on Twitter late Tuesday that Mu Sochua fled after receiving a warning from a senior government official. Nearly half of CNRP’s lawmakers have fled Cambodia since Kem Sokha’s arrest.
