PHNOM PENH Women's Nike VaporMax Moc Flyknit Triple Black , July 13 (Xinhua) -- Cambodia's National Assembly adopted a controversial draft Law on Associations and Non- Governmental Organizations (NGOs) on Monday amid boycott of the opposition lawmakers and protests.
All 68 lawmakers from the ruling Cambodian People's Party (CPP), including Prime Minister Hun Sen, unanimously passed the bill by raising hands, as the 55 lawmakers from the opposition Cambodia National Rescue Party (CNRP) boycotted the session.
It required a 50 percent plus one majority vote, or 62 votes only, to pass the draft law.
The CNRP said in a statement Sunday that its lawmakers' boycott was to urge the parliament to scrap the government-proposed draft bill Women's Nike Air VaporMax 2.0 Hydrogen Blue White , claiming, "The bill would put pressure and impose restrictions on the freedoms of associations and NGOs."
While the assembly was debating the bill, hundreds of human rights and NGO activists protested against the bill outside.
Deputy Prime Minister and Interior Minister Sar Kheng rejected the allegations that the law would impose restrictions on the freedom of associations and NGOs.
"We had spent 20 years to make this law, which aims to protect the rights and freedoms of those organizations and to enhance cooperation between the organizations and the government," he told reporters after the parliamentary session. "There's nothing perfect. It is their rights to make criticism."
Sar Kheng said that currently there are approximately 5,000 associations and NGOs operating in this Southeast Asian nation.
Lawmaker Ho Sry said the bill would encourage organizations to operate accountably and transparently.
"It will prevent anarchy Women's Nike Air VaporMax 2.0 Light Cream , terrorism financing and money laundering," he said, adding, "We cannot let the associations and NGOs stay outside the law."
Prime Minister Hun Sen did not make any comments during the parliamentary session. Last month, he said the law targeted to fight against terrorism financing, money laundering and creation of illegal armed forces.
"Associations and NGOs should not worry about this law. It will protect you Women's Nike Air VaporMax 2 Gunsmoke , support you, and open up to your activities," he said.
Under the law, associations and NGOs will be required to register their nationalities with the government in order to have legal standing and must file reports on their activities and finances each year to the government.
It will also allow the government to delete the name of any association or NGO, which has conducted any action that jeopardizes peace, stability and public order Women's Nike Air Max 270 Barely Grey , or harms national security, unification, culture, traditions and custom.
The draft law will be sent to the Senate for a final review before being submitted to King Norodom Sihamoni for promulgation.
BEIJING, July 23 (Xinhua) -- In China, lawyers who use illegal means to defend the rights of their clients are no longer lawyers.
A group from Fengrui Nike Air Max 270 Women's Black White Anthracite , a Beijing law practice, is suspected of disrupting public order and seeking profits by illegally hiring protesters and swaying court decisions in the name of "defending justice and public interests."
The Ministry of Public Security said nine lawyers and several other suspects have been placed under "coercive measures". Since July 2012, the group had organized more than 40 controversial incidents.
Under the guise of safeguarding the rights of the parties in lawsuits, the lawyers were in fact seeking fame and economic gain. Through illegal measures, they turned legal defense in court into a farce.
In April, in Shenhe District Court of Shenyang City in northeast China's Liaoning Province Women's Nike Air Max 270 Flight Gold , Wang Yu, a lawyer from Fengrui Law Firm, and other defenders loudly asked staff in the collegiate benches to withdraw in a bid to delay the trial of a criminal case.
"You are all hooligans! You are beasts in human skin!" Failing to achieve this goal, they shouted curses at judges and court police officers. Then Wang and other petitioners held protests outside the court, trying to influence opinion.
This is typical practice for those lawyers under investigation. Zhou Shifeng, head of Fengrui Law Firm Women's Nike Air Max 270 White Orange , admitted that the practice employed popular local figures unqualified in law as lawyers, to exploit their standing.
One suspect said he believed Zhou started out seeking justice and protecting legal rights, but eventually reached a point where he was refusing to help migrant workers get back their wages on the grounds that it wouldn't generate his firm enough money.
Zhou is good at performing in court. In May 2014, in a case involving forgery and selling registered trademarks, Zhou insisted on his client pleading not guilty rather than accepting a misdemeanor offence. Zhou did this not in the interests of his client, but in the interests of promoting himself. The court convicted the defendant Nike Air Max 270 Women's Light Pink White , but Zhou gained both fame and wealth.
Liu Sixin, who wrote legal texts for Zhou, said that after one year of contact, he realized that Zhou's professional capacity was limited.
Xie Yuandong, another suspect, said Zhou mainly relied on legal texts from Liu. If legal texts did not work Women's Nike Air Max 270 Pink Light Grey , he began to talk nonsense and accuse the court.
Lawless lawyers like Zhou treat trials as performance, as a stage on which to make the public believe judges are not qualified and to encourage the public to pressurize courts.
Instead of debating in court, they tried to attack China's legal system, turning ordinary cases into political affairs in order to gain both fame and wealth.
Such lawyers have lost their legitimacy as lawyers. They should be held criminally accountable.
