Original report from Phnom Penh
22 January 2008
Members of a prominent trade union commemorated the murder of its leader in 2004 by calling on police Tuesday to re-investigate and bring the true perpetrators to justice.
Chea Vichea, leader of the Free Trade Union of Workers in the Kingdom of Cambodia, was gunned down Jan. 22, 2004, near a Phnom Penh market.
Two men convicted of his murder are widely considered innocent. Free Trade President Chea Mony, brother of Chea Vichea, and other workers and activists laid a wreath at the site of the murder Tuesday and called on police to re-investigate the killing, to free the two jailed men and find the murderers and those who hired them.
"Today, we… want to appeal to the government and the courts to re-open the investigation of the murderer who gunned down Chea Vichea on Jan. 22, 2004, and we dismiss Born Samnang and Sok Samoeun as Chea Vichea's killers," Chea Mony said.
Opposition leader Sam Rainsy also attended the ceremony, held near Wat Langka.
"We would like for the government to find the real killer who gunned Chea Vichea down, and those behind the perpetrator, to find and arrest them and bring them to justice," Sam Rainsy said.
Human Rights Party Vice President Keo Remy said the slain leader would earn an honorary title if the party were to win elections in July. He also promised a statue in Chea Vichea's honor if the party were to win a majority of seats in the National Assembly.
Interior Ministry spokesman Khieu Sopheak said Tuesday police had done their work well and had sent their investigation to the courts, which found Born Samnang and Sok Samoeun guilty.
Licadho founder Kek Galabru prayed "to the angels" for Chea Vichea and other slain labor leaders, and for the release of the Born Samnang and Sok Samoeun, both of whom are now serving 20-year sentences.

We judge all perpetrators in accordance with OUR law.
These perpetrators ONLY found exculpated under the news media -- but, importantly, they must be judged in the court of law in Cambodia, and therefore found quilty and must chastised for the crime in which they had perpetrated.
Phnom Penh, Cambodia
The killers are in Hun Sen's compound, Toul Krosaing. No doubt about it. If you want to find justice for these two people and the rest of the victims, summons Hun Sen to international court and drill him for his compound operation. American or European should investigate his compound. This compound is not normal. It hides a lot of secret bunkers and tunnels. Hun Sen operates the killing from there. His main execution general named Hing Bun Heang who takes order from hun sen.
