On October 6, a group of lawyers on behalf of the Interior Ministry submitted a petition to the Supreme Court to ask for the disbandment of the opposition party, based on complaints from the Cambodian Youth Party (CYP) on October 4 and FUNCIPEC Party on October 5 accusing the CNRP and its President of committing treason.
