Opposition fundraising effort includes 'foreign friends'

PHNOM PENH, 31 October 2012 (Cambodia Herald) - The opposition National Rescue Party has embarked on a fund-raising campaign ahead of next year's national election.

"We appeal to Cambodian residents and foreign friends who wish to help the nation through the National Rescue Party to offer what they can afford," Human Rights Party president Kem Sokha (pictured) said Monday.

He said Cambodians in the United States and Canada had initiated the fund-raising drive.

The Human Rights Party recently formed the National Rescue Party with the Sam Rainsy Party.
