SRP MP Mu Sochua, who was ordered to pay a fine of 16.5 million riels by the PPenh municipal court on 04 August, left Cambodia on 05 August to travel to the US for a several weeks long visit for personal reason.
At the same time, she also asked her aid to appeal her case to the Appeal court on 05 August, in spite of the fact that she does not have a lawyer yet.
Before taking off in a commercial plane from Phnom Penh on Wednesday afternoon, Mrs. Mu Sochua told RFA that this is personal trip and she is not fleeing from the court.
Mrs. Mu Sochua said: “I go there for the school start of my child. I’m out until 20 September.”
Sok Serey: You are not fleeing…?
Mu Sochua: No! Quite to the contrary, my aid sent my case to appeal yesterday already, and the Appeal court summoned me for questioning in this case on 18 August. Because I will not be here, I asked for a delay.”
