This guy, an old butcher, is as cunning as a fox. Look at him right now, he is as meek as a
lamb. But 30 years before, he did not sound like right now.
You should be hanged, monster!
Have you visited DCCAM documentation center in Phnom Penh? In what is filed as pol pot papers, there is one report signed by Chhon, addressed to pol pot after the visit chhon made in provinces to assess the purge policy ordered by his boss. Some believe that chhon is keat chhon. Let us check together and report back on KI media.
NOOSE.
What is the crime for being an executioner? The US has some of them, China has some of them, and so does Singapore, Vietnam, Laos ...
Anon@3:48, there's a difference between an executioner and the head of a death camp. Maybe you should read up on the Third Reich's equivalent, Rudolph Höß (Hoess) at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rudolf_Höß
It doesn't matter what I think, but what the courts think. Let them be be free to come to their own conclusions against any former KR cadre.
Oh, give me a break, will ya? You guys are trapped by your own rhetorics and has completely lost touch with reality. Fact of the matter is death camp, torture cell, execution chamber, ..., and prison are all the same thing. The worker in there had to follow order from the the court. They had no right to decide who should live or who should died. Thus, how can they be criminals?
More of Chhon, please. That old man must know something and may be a lot than we ever imagine. He was a big wig also during Khmer Rouge Era. Bring him to court as well.
