Translated from Khmer by Socheata
The lawyer of Heng Pov, the former Phnom Penh city police commissioner, has rejected information reporting that Heng pov is tortured in jail, and that the UN human rights office wants to intervene in this case. Nou Chantha, Heng Pov’s lawyer, said on 15 September, that the information reporting that Heng Pov is tortured in jail is not true. He said that the UN human rights office indeed wants to visit Heng Pov, however, the prison director does not dare make the decision to allow the UN office to meet Heng Pov, following a request made by the UN human rights office to the director of the Phnom Penh municipal court. On 02 September, the prison director sent a letter to the UN office informing that Heng Pov is incarcerated in a special cell under surveillance for his safety, and that he is in good health. His relatives are authorized to come and meet him normally, they are not prevented from visiting him.

This is a high profile and a big mouth piece case. Of course the HS wanted to keep all the visitors out from having contact with HP.
It's a no brainer!
The way the government have treated Heng Pov is unfair and no respect to human right. In a civilised Nation, a rank like Heng Pov, the court would have to take a long time before can convict him for a crime. He should have a cross examination for all alleged crimes which the government has alleged him. All others who have involved the same crimes reported by him eg Hok Lundy, Hun Sen should also suspended from their position for the court to fully investigate. If they have committed any crimes, they should have jailed the same as Heng Pov. Areak Prey
Look at this way,Hun Sen is savvy in spinning out who is disloyal to his dynastic rule.
To keep his smiling face,Hun Sen toosed a bait to see who would rise and to keep check with international watchers.
It is his chess move, lose one to win millions.
A twist of Sihanouk old trick in 60's...Khieu Samphan,Hou Nim,Hu Youn were eliminated.
Does anybody know Heng Pov, Ty Sokun,
Chan Sarun, Hok Longdy,Khiev Khannarith and Khiev Sophak real names are?
