Security arrested opposition SRP Senator Hong Sok Huor this Saturday, 15 Aug. 2015, morning at 6 A.M.

លោក ហុង សុខហួរ សមាជិក ព្រឹទ្ធសភា មកពីគណបក្សសម រង្ស៊ី និងជាអ្នកជំនាញ កិច្ចការ ព្រំដែន របស់ គណបក្ស សង្រេ្គាះជាតិ ត្រូវបានអាជ្ញាធរ រាជធានីភ្នំពេញ ចាប់ឃាត់ខ្លួន កាលពីវេលា ម៉ោង ៦:០០ ព្រឹកថ្ងៃសៅរ៍ ទី១៥ ខែសីហា ឆ្នាំ ២០១៥នេះ។


4 rhetorical questions in clarifying the distinction btw ORDINARY vs. LEGAL language of "gone into hiding":


1. Is Hong Sok Huor a Senator?

2. If a Senator, does he have immunity?

3. If he has immunity, does he have protection / freedom to fulfill his duties?

4. Why then does he need to hide? 

I, with the general public, have been speaking in the ordinary sense of the phrase "in hiding". But as a matter of law, Senator Sok Huor never had to go "into hiding" because of his immunity (that is, by definition a free person with immunity cannot be "in hiding"). Thus, if Senator Sok Huor has never been in hiding, no one else can be complicit in assisting in "hiding" him.
