The Hong-Kong based Asian Human Rights Commission called on the Cambodian government Wednesday to release information on investigations of several long-standing, unsolved cases, including the 1997 grenade attack on an opposition demonstration.
Investigations “must be conducted and the report made public,” the rights group said in a statement, as the 10th anniversary of the March 30 grenade attack approaches.
The killings of two popular singer have also gone unsolved. In 2003, Touch Srey Nich, a much-beloved singer, was paralyzed from the neck down after she was shot, while Piseth Pilika, a well-known classical dancer, “whom Prime Minister Hun Sen was alleged to have good relations with,” died in a hospital a week after she was shot in 1999, the group said.
Other killings of prominent political leaders also were not properly investigated, the group said.
Monk Sam Bunthoeun, an advocate for human rights, and journalist Chou Chetharith, the former owner of Funcinpec’s Ta Prohmm radio, were both murdered.
Grenades tossed into a crowd of demonstrators in 1997 killed 14 people and wounded 142, “yet police investigations have not led to a single arrest,” the group said.
“These heinous crimes not only symbolize Cambodia’s human rights struggle,” it said, “they also demonstrate the judicial failure to deliver justice.”

Hong Kong should also asked Beijing
to stop direct financial aid to Hun Sen.
Do good results good, do bad result bad...the people behind this scene are still having bad dream and worrying in mind.
They are just trying to fight for the last strive to console their bad action...
But one day near future, they will be received what they have done to the innocent people.
Bad action will never result good, but bad at lease those people have already obtained animal culture in mind.
HUN SEN is the criminal and involve deeply in:
- Crorruption
- Killing
- Land Grabbing
- Human Rights Abuse, etc..........
This guy is the symbol of devil
PARACHEY YUAN CPP and HUN SEN
Khmer Cheat Niyum,
If you are marked by the CPP as the undesirable then the Calmette Hospital must be the last place on Earth you want to go for treatment, if you are wounded or sick.
There are CPP-affiliated doctors and surgeons working in Calmette Hospital who take direct orders from the CPP leadership. Just one phone call, a lethal injection will do the job and there will be no post-mortem. Many well-known personalities had their lives ended this way on the Calmette Hospital beds. As for the grenade attack on the peaceful demonstrators, there were reports that the medical staff of the nearby Kuntha Bopha Hospital refused to allow the wounded people in or treat them.
It is a shame that these doctors and surgeons are supposed to follow the medical ethics (saving lives), not the political agenda. Léon Charles Albert Calmette would definitely not condone such a murderous act from his grave.
It's better to a few than to
millions like in the 70's. Get it?
Hun Sen is the criminal against humanitty

3:18PM's logic could only come from a person with a criminal background.
Your present heroes in the CPP were the KR cadets during their reign of terror. And, how many Cambodians died under that regime? Get it, stupid bugger?
AH HUN SEN Vietcong slave former Khmer Rouge can never be changed...the change will come for him until the bullet hit his head!!
