What Fact Crescendo Cambodia found

Cambodia’s prominent opposition leader Sam Rainsy and his wife were never killed in a road crash in Thailand. He was on a trip to the United States in August last year. The latest post on his official Facebook page shows he met a group of international delegates from Liberal International in Sofia, Bulgaria last Saturday.
