Police Detain Former Khmer Rouge Leader

By KER MUNTHIT

PHNOM PENH, Cambodia (AP) — Police detained former Khmer Rouge Foreign Minister Ieng Sary and brought him by convoy to Cambodia's U.N.-assisted genocide tribunal Monday for prosecution.

Police entered Ieng Sary's home at dawn, and later put him into a car that was part of a 10-vehicle convoy headed to tribunal offices. An Associated Press reporter saw Ieng Sary arriving at tribunal offices later in the morning.

Tribunal spokesman Reach Sambath said Ieng Sary and his wife, Ieng Thirith, had been brought to court according to a warrant issued by the tribunal, but he gave no details of the charges they faced.

Ieng Sary's arrest had been widely anticipated as one of five unnamed suspects earlier listed by tribunal prosecutors. Two have already been taken into custody.

"Chheam sraek, sbaek hao." You will have to answer to both the human court and the God. If there is any shred of justice in this world I will live to see the conviction of those responsible for the cold-blood killing my relatives and friends for no reason.

Nuon Chea or Camarade Rat Samoeun said ECCC should arrest these camarade too:

Camarade Hor Nam Hong, Keat Chhon, Soc Anh, Hun Sen, Heng Samrin, Chea Sim Hor Nam Hong and much more, are the members of Khmer Vietminh (Ah Kbal yuon Khluon Khmer) or Ah khmer-Yuon formed 1951 and 1954 that's the real Hanoi servants.

They Must be summoned by the KRT and they will be arrested as Duch, Nuon Chea, Ieng Sary, Ieng Thirith.

Otherwise, KRT conducting unfair trail or bias of political partism.
Because, They are all Khmer Rouge, to be fair.(si kuy teav tieng oss khnea ouy 2-3 neak chenh loy mdech kert?)

Ta Mok, quietly told some people before he died, saying Soc Anh is yuon srok Kirivong since vietminh control the area in 1968. Whom now Hun Sen's Master mind.
