some pessimistic people suggested that the trial won't solve any problem for cambodia. i don't necessarily agree with that statement. i think the trial is good for the people of cambodia. it will open the eyes to understand and see what really is going on for the world as well. there is a purpose of doing everything; of course, not everybody will come to the same agreement, however do allow it to go on because it can make a difference for cambodia, especially in the long-run of future gov't, laws, justice, etc... that said, of course, this trial is not the only solution to sovle all the past problems in cambodia, it will also change reforms in gov't, paradigm changes in people's mentality, actions, participation, proactive, etc on the part of everyone as well. so, it will take the entire "village" in the words of mrs. hilary clinton to raise the family, meaning, yes, everyone's help is essential for it could make a difference, etc... god bless cambodia.
Hor Namhong’s involvement in the camp’s administration of Boeng Trabek.
And Hor Namhong had commanded a Khmer Rouge concentration camp and
was responsible for the death and torture of many Cambodians.
I urge the court to put Hor Namhong to stand trial too.
