Cambodia : Opposition leader Sam Rainsy pardoned
King Norodom Sihamoni has signed a pardon for self-exiled opposition leader Sam Rainsy requested by Prime Minister Hun Sen, paving the way for the Cambodia National Rescue Party president to return before the July 28 election, Prince Norodom Charin confirmed Friday.
"Everything is signed and sent, Sam Rainsy has the document," Prince Charin said.
Council of Minister's spokesman Phay Siphan confirmed on Friday that Hun Sen has signed off on the request to King Norodom Sihamoni that day.
"The prime minister signed this morning a supporting letter to request a royal pardon to Sam Rainsy," he said.
Siphan said Hun Sen had made the decision in the name of national reconciliation and stability.
Rainsy had been convicted of a series of criminal charges related to a dispute of Cambodia's border and defamatory comments he made about foreign affairs minister Hor Namhong.
