Why we need to release them to live in luxury lives. They should live in the ways they have imposed to their victims 30 years ago. They should live in a shelter with 1m of plastic sheet and eat half of bowl of porride on each meal. All their properties should be confiscicated and put into a guardian trust so that they are not fallen into Hun sen bank account. All children must also be retained and be clothed as a suspect of criminal. All khmer rouge leaders like Keat Chhon, Chuon Mom, Sihanouk etc.. and etc.. should also be arrested for the same reason. The killing of khmer rouge regime on Cambodian race was not a small matter. it was a matter of race cleansing by these animals. Therefore Cambodian need to treat these evils leaders as the most serious threat to Cambodian race than blaming Vietnam. We must compare these evils like cancer disease to Cambodian socirty which is worst than the death killed by outside ennemies. Areak Prey
Please forgive us, Our only mistake was not to kill everybody
Or many they didn't have enough time for that.
