Armed Cambodian police officers stand guarding outside the municipal court in Phnom Penh, Cambodia Thursday, Dec. 12, 2006. Former Cambodian police chief Heng Peo was taken to the court for processing after being deported from Malaysia where he lost a court ruling. He is now in prison serving an 18-year jail term for masterminding the murder of Cambodian judge. (AP Photo/Khem Sovan Dara)The authority barred dozens of journalists and photographers from interviewing former Phnom Penh police chief Heng Pov, who was deported from Malaysia back to Cambodia Thursday.
Heng Pov was first detained in the Phnom Penh Municipal Court and later transferred to the Interior Ministry.
Earlier Thursday morning, the Malaysian Appeals Court overturned the Dec. 15 ruling by the High Court that Heng Pov be deported to Singapore where he had hoped to fly to Finland to seek asylum, on grounds that only the Immigration Department could decide where a foreigner should be deported.
On Dec. 4, the Finnish government issued entry visa for Heng Pov, who was sentenced to 18 years in jail in absentia in September in Phnom Penh for masterminding to kill a judge.
Cambodia immediately urged Finland to reconsider its decision about the one-legged and 49-year-old former police chief, who, also serving as personal advisor to Prime Minister Hun Sen and under-secretary of state at the Ministry of Interior, managed to fled to Singapore in July and then to Malaysia.
He has been detained in Malaysia since Oct. 3 for overstaying his entry pass.
The Cambodian court believed that he was responsible for the murder of Phnom Penh judge Sok Sethamony, while a press release from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation insisted that he was involved in six other cases including illegal confinement, murder, attempted murder, kidnapping, and illegal weapon possession and usage.

The mother fuckers standing around looking tough and I have yet to see all these mother fuckers standing at Cambodian border to protect Cambodian people from the Siam and the Vietcong!!!!
While I disagree on your choice of words, I agree that they should stand tough at the border. Sad day for Cambodia. Maylasia had turned out to be just another corrupt SE country.
In the photo I see only 5 RIOT police... where are the riot crowds? This man is as guilty as the rest of the clowns in office. Now he's fighting for his life, but if he wants to redeem his place in Thevada-Heaven, he needs to tell the world the truth.
It is a sad day for Cambodia. Heng Pov has been a very motivated man to help Cambodia for a better place but has been misjudged by public through propaganda machine of Hun Sen and Hok Lundy to remove their opposition. If all Cambodian are still having this kind of judgement, Cambodian will be still suffering through all the crooked leaders. There will be no more good people dare to work for Cambodian. Mr Sam Rainsy used to oppose Hun Sen in the past, but now he just stay in Cambodia to past his daily life there instead of fighting for a better Cambodia. This kind of lack of support is very bad for Cambodia.
