Nuon CheaPailin, Cambodia (dpa) - Members of a recently beefed-up police guard around former Khmer Rouge leader Nuon Chea's home said his health was in serious decline and he was no longer able to see visitors.
However, they added that the sharply increased police presence was for Nuon Chea's own protection and stressed that he was not under house arrest and was free to seek hospital treatment should he request it.
Media reports in mid-July claiming Nuon Chea and another Pailin resident, former Khmer Rouge head of state Khieu Samphan - both prime candidates for indictment in an upcoming trial of former Khmer Rouge leaders - were flight risks were strongly denied by the government and local leaders.
"His health is serious right now," a member of the group of up to a dozen police guards at Nuon Chea's house, all of whom declined to be identified, said at the weekend. "He is very ill. It has become much worse recently. Right now he is treating himself at home."
He said he believed Nuon Chea was suffering from high blood pressure in particular.
Police cordoned off the 81-year-old's home on the Thai border on "orders from the top" as of three weeks ago, the plainclothes officer added. Rather than enlisting local police from the former Khmer Rouge stronghold, most of the new guards were from Battambang, nearly 100 kilometres away.
Government spokesman Khieu Kanharith said by telephone that the government had placed guards on Nuon Chea's home to protect him and prevent the unwanted attention of journalists in particular but that Nuon Chea was free to go where he wanted and speak with whom he wanted until the event that the joint UN-Cambodian Extraordinary Chambers issued a warrant for his arrest. He said he was not aware of Nuon Chea's state of health.
Advocates for a trial have long urged a speedy process to ensure justice is found for the victims of the Khmer Rouge's 1975-to-1979 Democratic Kampuchea regime while the ageing and ailing former leaders could still stand trial. Up to 2 million people died during the ultra-Maoist's rule.
The proceedings were dealt a serious blow last month when the movement's former military commander, Ta Mok, died of respiratory failure in a Phnom Penh military hospital at 82 after spending seven years in jail awaiting trial. The movement's leader, Pol Pot, died in 1998 while in Ta Mok's custody.
Nuon Chea, also known as "Brother Number Two," was deputy general secretary of the Communist Party and chief lieutenant to Pol Pot but was never jailed after he made a deal and surrendered to the government in 1998.
The octogenarian suffers from a number of health problems, including diabetes and high blood pressure, and has previously suffered at least one stroke.
Opposition Sam Rainsy Party candidate for the area, Van Ra, still mourning the death of her uncle, Ta Mok, said she hoped Nuon Chea would be afforded the best possible medical care if he required it - something she claims her uncle was not able to access while in custody.
"These are old men," she said. "They need to be taken care of, and I hope the government will do that for them."
In Pailin, former Khmer Rouge head of state Khieu Samphan's former home has been rented out to an aid worker. Neighbours and friends said he has moved to Phnom Penh, 370 kilometres away, and they were unsure if or when he would return to Pailin.
The Extraordinary Chambers was expected to try a handful of the Khmer Rouge's elderly former leaders, three decades after they took power, and was expected to issue indictments within six months.
However, they added that the sharply increased police presence was for Nuon Chea's own protection and stressed that he was not under house arrest and was free to seek hospital treatment should he request it.

If you look at his picture, he really looked alike animal. I wonder why, he has killed so many people because of his animal mentality.
I don't really blame this man for what he had done. However, I condemn our culture and our society structure. Our society seems to endorse heartless punishment by hatred. Our society seem to exploite one another viciously. Our Cambodian society is immoral. Teacher corrupted the students. Soldiers, polices or officials are corrupted. Judges are corrupted. The government officials are there for themselves. Even a woman to a woman, one is pouring the acid on one another face. This is a cruelty punishment. We are Buddhist follower but we seem not baring or respecting the principles of Buddha. We are known as a smiling people but we are burden by hatred in side. I would urg you to look at our Cambodian sociology. You will see how unimaginable who we are based on moral issue.
It is so easy to look back and to blame all the illness that happens in Cambodia at the present day!
I would never understand why would Cambodia such a beautiful country would rather commit suicide than to live free like the rest of the civilize world! There must be a reason for this!
Whether all you Cambodian people like it or not! The Super power can come in and push you around anyway they wanted. The Super power can make and break and let you pick up the pieces! So stop blaming everything on Cambodia and Cambodian people!
No Cambodian people want to born to this world as poor, miserable, and starving! If you don't believe me just go ask Cambodian people and to see if they want to be like that!
Chum Reap Sur,
Haven't you heard a person by the name of, "Norodom Sihanouk"?
There are hard evidence/documents (words by words from his own mouth) which proved that he was/is the prime suspect who had brought all these destruction to Khmer people and to Cambodia just because he had a personal bitter taste with Khmer compatriots who tried to liberate the country from the Ameoba.
Ah Ka-Pouch Lop!
To 10:22
ahahahaha! There is a cause and effect! If I punch you and you will punch me! If I kick you and you will kick me!
"he had a personal bitter taste with Khmer compatriots who tried to liberate the country from the Ameoba"???????
Didn't King Norodom Sihanouk try to get rid of Mr. Pol Pot and Mr. Kiev Samphan!!!Why do you think that Mr. Pol Pot went into hiding with the Vietcong in the first place? Ameoba? Vietcong? Khmer Rouge? It is all nonesense! Without the intervention of the Super Power, Cambodia shouldn't be like this! Thank to all the bombs dropped by the Super Power and the Khmer Rouge were able to use it as propaganda to win the heart and mind of Cambodian people!
You take thing out of context! I bet you don't even know what you are reading!
Now here is a lesson for you! It doesn't matter whether you are King ,teacher, engineer, or Phd and including you and if people really want to take advantage of you and they can! Please don't lie to me that you had never been taking advantage of in your life time! How many times had you been a sucker over the year?
The story of King Sihanouk are full of betrayal, deception and assassination! I am just amazed that he still alive today! I bet you wouldn't last for one day without crying for God!
Yes sir! I heard of a person by the name of Norodom Sihanouk!

I don’t believe that three is a crowd, but I believe the more the merrier! If I may, I would personally like to thank both of you (comment @ 10:22 and comment @ 11:16 A.M.) for your courage in coming forward to share with us your political insights, which is, I personally believe, the important piece of information that relevant to as the reason(s) why Khmer took downward position in the first place.
Frankly, although I seem to understand what comment @ 10:22 A.M. was trying to tell us, but I regrettably that he/she should have elaborate a bit more about what was his/her political blaming-game remarks.
But wait a minute! Having read your comment @ 11:16 A.M., I find myself deeply not at ease. Oh no! I’m not saying you are wrong! You are entitling to your opinion/expertise. However, if you are stating that comment @ 10:22 A.M., “I bet you don't even know what you are reading!” then I might as well admitting myself to the mental institution for the symptoms of hallucination and delusional before someone drag me into one. All of these years, I have been studying and reading articles, books, newspapers, personal narratives shared by survivors, comments as well as political analysis from experts that they are, at some point, pointing their fingers at Norodom Sihanouk as the person who most responsible for the destruction of Srok Khmer. I am really confused to tell you that, Sir/Madam!
Henceforth, allow me to use your comments/statements that you have used to lambaste at comment @ 10:22 A.M.
Sir/Madam you said, “ahahahaha! There is a cause and effect! If I punch you and you will punch me! If I kick you and you will kick me!”
If you speak as an ordinary people like myself, I totally agree with you. “You kick me and sure I will not only kick you but probably strip your ass too”. However, the different is that being a leader/political figure (and clearly Sihanouk was a king and had also claimed himself as a quasi-god of and above everything of Kampuchea) is totally different than that ordinary people. You don’t turn your greed, power, and anger against your own 2 plus innocent Khmer people, my friend! Use your rational and logical reasoning!
Sir/Madam, you restated comment’s @ 10:22 A.M., "he had a personal bitter taste with Khmer compatriots who tried to liberate the country from the Ameoba"???????
Although I’m not quite sure what comment @ 10:22 A.M. was trying to say, but if I may interject my comment here, from mid 1960’s to 1970’s, Sihanouk’s popularity was gradually slippng away and having afraid that he might be lost grip to his power altogether, and so he had ordered to execute those Khmer compatriots who would dare to either offer him advice or challenge his authority. There are ton more of info/evident to prove that.
Sir/Madam you stated, “Didn't King Norodom Sihanouk try to get rid of Mr. Pol Pot and Mr. Kiev Samphan!!! Why do you think that Mr. Pol Pot went into hiding with the Vietcong in the first place? Ameoba? Vietcong? Khmer Rouge? It is all nonesense!
Let me ask you some questions.
Did you know who had announced on the radio from Peking, China, in 1970’s, asking Koun Khmer to joint the Khmer Rouge in the Prey Meakey?
Did you know who was the President/Prime Minister of Democratic of Kampuchea from 1975 – 1976?
Did you know, Alain Peyrefitte, a former minister of General de Gaulle personally met with Sihanouk (reception May 3, 1975, Peking, China) – Sihanouk had asserted his political intention as to what he had planned to do what he had actually did to Srok Khmer and innocent Khmer people?
Did you know who was screaming out loud from the top of his lung, admitted that he had helped the North Vietnamese and the South Vietnamese to unite and liberate from the US imperialist and at the end scolding the Viets from betrayed him – calling the Viets Ah crocodile?
Did you know that Sihanouk and Hun Sen meeting at Fere-en-Tardenois, France in 1987 – plan to use the “in process Peace Solution Agreement” as their political scheme on how to get where they are at now? The former France socialist foreign affairs minister, Mr. Claude Cheysson, had a private meeting with Sihanouk and said to Sihanouk, “We, France we cannot build a Peace solution for Cambodia if you continue to change so often your political position like that!”
There are tons more evident.
“The elephant died and you took the basket made of thatch to cover the body of that death elephant, hoping the public would not notice, and the fly would not smell”? IT IS HIGHLY LIKELY IMPOSSIBLE!
After having had my own blood (2 plus innocent Khmer people) died in vain and yet no individual had been brought to trial for justice. I am deeply shock to read your statement:
“Without the intervention of the Super Power, Cambodia shouldn't be like this! Thank to all the bombs dropped by the Super Power and the Khmer Rouge were able to use it as propaganda to win the heart and mind of Cambodian people!”
If you are Khmer tell that to your parents, and soon you find your face turns to your back. Or may be your parents are one of those Ah Krom Pret, Eh! (Don’t take it personally. I may, in fact, have mental health problems!)
NOW YOU CAN CALL ME A SUCKER TOO!
For comment @ 10:22 A.M. – may be next time try to elaborate a bit more about what your intention to say/tell us so at least we’re all can understand and learn from your points of view.
Thanks
Cambodia tragedy was due to our stupid leaders.
Now,Hun Sen is following Sihanouk's foot step.

=Oh? Khmer had been going downward even during the French! The French made Cambodian people pay more in tax than the rest of Indochinese country and the French even look down on Khmer as stupid and lazy! The French even make the Vietnamese to do all function of Cambodian government! You know what! It is the Vietnamese officials in Cambodia that decided what Cambodia should have and that is why there is no University in Cambodia and all the Khmer including King Sihanuok had to go to Vietname to get his education!

=Hey old fart! Some of the older generation borned during 1930 are still alive today! I get first hand information! What the fuck are you talking about! Yes alot of fingers are pointing to King Sihanouk but what about Uncle HO and his Indochinese Communist Party? What about the age of the bipolar world between Communist and the Free capitolist!
When the French left Indochina and why American is taking the place of the French to continue the war in Indochina! The people of Indochina had a very bitter experience with the French the colonial master! Now American came in to support the French? The war between the French and the Indochinese Country is the war for independence and it is not a war between communist and the noncommunist camp! But later on the communist advance the concept of anticolonial through propaganda!The poor were so easy to buy in communist propaganda because they had suffered so much at the hand of the French! No people in the whole Indochinese country believe that American came to save them from the Communist because they had seen what the French had done!
At the end it is the communists that destroy Cambodia! Didn't the Khmer Rouge put King Sihanouk under house arrest and King Sihanuok was guarantee by China to stop Mr. Pol Pot from kiilling him!
Your second hand information are fucken useless!

=Why are you not being specific about the Khmer compatriots who off him advice or challenge his authority? Most of the Cambodian intellectual were studying in France to be come a fucken communist colluded with the Vietcong! Some of those compatriots executed by King Sihanuok were traitors working with the Vietcong and some can't even a letter in Cambodian language to apologize to King Sihanuok! It is too bad these traitors deserve to die!

=Man! Why are you fucken dogding my question! Tell me who doesn't know Prey Meakey! This is when King Sihanuok was overthrown from power by Lon Nol backed by CIA and King Sihanuok didn't have a choice except to appeal to mass Cambodian population to help him to take back the power!
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Did you know who was the President/Prime Minister of Democratic of Kampuchea from 1975 – 1976?
=The Khmer Rouge used King Sihanuok as pawn to get what they wanted! Now you answer my question! Who put King Sihanuok under house arrest and killed 14 of his grand children?
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Did you know, Alain Peyrefitte, a former minister of General de Gaulle personally met with Sihanouk (reception May 3, 1975, Peking, China) – Sihanouk had asserted his political intention as to what he had planned to do what he had actually did to Srok Khmer and innocent Khmer people?
=You believe the French? You like the French for calling you stupid and lazy Khmer and your country being tax the most of all the Indochina country? I used to believe the French until they hand over the Khmer Kampuchea Krom to the Vietcong and I stop believing in the French! Remember Cambodia never inherit anything from the French unlike the Viet they inherited many large University and college and big cities!
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Did you know who was screaming out loud from the top of his lung, admitted that he had helped the North Vietnamese and the South Vietnamese to unite and liberate from the US imperialist and at the end scolding the Viets from betrayed him – calling the Viets Ah crocodile?
=Tell me who invited the South Vietnamese army to Cambodia to kill innocence Cambodian women and children in pursuing of the Vietcong? King Sihanouk never invite the Vietcong and the South Vietnamese Army to fight on Cambodian soil! Every fucken time the Vietcong fight with South Vietnamese army back by American air power and the Vietcong kept running into Cambodia for cover because Cambodia is a neutral country and don't you get it! King Sihanouk at one point said that if he can move Cambodia geography to another location and he would but he can't! The Vietcong and the South Vietnamese army don't give a fuck about King Sihanouk and the rest of Cambodian leaders! The Vietcong and the South Vietnamese determined to use Cambodia as their battle ground! King Sihanuok had warned the South Vietnamese and even talk with North Vietnamese! At the end King Sihanuok just do them all a favor by inviting the Vietcong and the South Vietnamese into Cambodia to kill each other! I thought American dropped bomb on the Vietcong and not on Cambodian people!aahahahahha

=France to build peace solution?You got to be kidding me! Please don't forget Uncle Sam too! For fearing the Khmer Rouge might come back to power, Uncle Sam do alot of arm twisting to make all the political factions joining the political process dominate by AH HUN SEN! China want AH HUN SEN to be in power too because this bastard was communist by birth! The Vietcong want AH HUN SEN to be in power because of the 10 years occupation in Cambodia and the Vietcong had spent one million dollar aday just to protect this bastard from the Khmer Rouge and the resistence forces! The Vietcong told AH HUN SEN to pay back every fucken penny for protecting his fucken ass!

I don't see you blame AH HUN SEN for allowing million and million of illegal Viet to live in Cambodia! I don't see you blame AH HUN SEN for destroying Cambodia through corruption and mismanagement of Cambodia? Where have you been man? Are you just another old fart trying to teach a young man like me a fucken lesson? The lesson is over! I had seen enough!

= You think I don't have anybody in my family die during the Khmer Rouge? You think that it is you who suffered the most? You are too special among all Cambodian people! Tell me why million and million of poor Cambodian people join the communist movement and even Cambodian students that were sent oversea to study and they came back as fucken communist! What do you have to say about that! Did you know that million and million of Cambodian people moved to Phnon Phen to find safety and the population of Phnon Phen swell to the breaking point and people had to live on cats and dogs just to survive because the whole Cambodian economy collapse during the bombing! Tell me who wouldn't believe the Khmer Rouge for telling Cambodian people to evacuate Phnon Phen before American dropped some more bombs!

= You have offered nothing new in term of knowledge or new information! You need to stop playing the blame game base on some usless second hand information! YOu must admit that your parent hate King Sihanouk and so you have to hate King Sihanouk too! ahahahahah
AH HUN SEN didn't need to follow King Sihanuok because the Vietcong won't let him! Why do you think AH HUN SEN threaten to abolish monarchy regarding the signing of the illegal border treaty of 1985 on border issues! The Vietcong will taste another bitter medication if they don't leave Cambodia in peace!
Hello,
Wow, full of FIRST-HAND NEWS/INFO!
Having read your comments, I came to conclude that what you heard, I heard; and what I read, you have read, and vice versa. The different is our stands and analysis on this important political matters. I have to give you a big applaud because I and may be only I heard or read SECOND-HAND NEWS/INFO.
In reality, nationally if not internationally standard, a leader is held to a higher standard. A standard that is respected, protected, and best serve for the interest of people and the country.
SIHANOUK HAD MANY GREATEST OPPORTUNITY TO UNITE KHMER, TO BRING PEACE, FREEDOM, AND JUSTICE FOR KHMER AND FOR THE COUNTRY BUT HE INTENTIONALLY FAILED TO DELIVER.
My second-hand news/info. - specifically, look at how Sihanouk handled the Paris Peace Agreement of 1991, UN 1994, and recently the KR Tribunal, etc.
If you are talking about Ah Viet Cong and Ah Hun Sen, I can assure you that nobody would argue with you. Whether it is 1st, 2nd, or 3rh, etc. news/info. the world know about their political scheme.
Royal Family Feuds left and right and from the beginning of Khmer history - and you tell me Sihanouk . . . . . !
Thanks
I read all the comments, it seem that all of you blame Khmer Rough killed khmer poeple. I agree with you but you should note that historically, communist in other coutries also killed alot of persons such Russia, China and Vietname in 1968. Came to this, you should know who is behind Khmer Roug, a communist movement buit by Ho Chimin in 1950 and a lot of Vietcong are among Khmer Roug.
You blame on Khmer Rough alone how above Vietcong agents among the Khmer Roug regime.
Thanks
