The Sam Rainsy Party sent out a call for help after what it said was another political

killing December 8. The latest victim, Uk Sao, was a police informant and activist

who represented the SRP at a voter registration office in his commune. Meanwhile

December 15 saw the first case of intimidation of a female candidate. Pom Hoeun,

who is standing for the SRP in Anhchaem commune in Kampong Cham, was beaten with

sticks by six men on motorbikes as she traveled home with her 17-year-old son.
