Original report from Phnom Penh
07 March 2008
Jailed former police chief Heng Pov has requested the courts give him a public appeals hearing and a hearing chamber large enough to contain an interested audience when next he appears before the court.
The former police chief of Phnom Penh was arrested in 2006 and is serving an 18-year prison sentence for colluding in the murder of a municipal judge.
He has accused Prime Minister Hun Sen and National Police Chief Hok Lundy of conspiring in the 1997 grenade attack on opposition supporters, as well as the murder of popular actress Piseth Pilika.
Heng Pov lawyer Kao Soupha said previous trials for his client were held in rooms too small to contain the hundreds of people interested in attending. His client was requesting a larger room, and that the hearing be televised.

Go for it Heng Pov, reveal all.
Freedom for all, let the world know!
True, but when you are a convict, you can't vote, you can't run for office, ...; thus, your freedom will be restricted.
my man!! you f-up and was once swimming in the dirty pool..now you have to eat your dirty deeds and bring down also the real behind the curtain controller..go for it...you have nothing left
Heng Pov was once the darling of Hun Sen. Peng Pov did many dirty works for Hun Sen- killings opponents I mean. Now Heng Pov has become no use for Hu Sen so he is trashed and bundled into a cell. Hok Lundy will be next. Hun Sen used him to kill and arrest many opponents, including Chea Sim. But one day when he is no longer in need Hun Sen will trash him and throw him into jail like Heng Pov.
Bullshit, There is no such thing as Hun Sen got dirty work for anyone. All works delegated from PM are nothing but challenging works for the best Khmer of the best Khmer people. Thus, stop dreaming, will ya?
