1/5 Hun Sen’s Proposed “Law” to determine single citizenship for #Cambodia’s leaders: Normally a law is intended to defend the public interest. The Hun Sen-inspired law targeting me and barring me from becoming prime minister is simply an act of meanness.

2/5 Hun Sen made it clear that, as a reprisal against me, he wants to definitively block me from the premiership. This is not the first time. Remember the amendment to the law on political parties, which specifically pushed me to resign from the CNRP leadership in Feb 2017.
3/5 I did so to prevent my party from being dissolved (it got dissolved anyway in November the same year). The legal and the court systems are being perverted under the autocratic Hun Sen regime.
4/5 There is a clear comparison with the tailor-made law in Myanmar which prevents Aung San Suu Kyi from being president, as her sons are British citizens.
5/5 Under a dictatorship it's an honour to be prosecuted for political "crimes". Freedom fighters cannot expect less. #SamRainsy #Cambodia
