Former chief of the municipal police of Phnom Penh Heng Pov, sentenced to more than 58 years of prison in six cases - including the murder of judge Sok Sethamony - and a suspect in three more cases, was granted on Tuesday February 17th an adjournment in his trial before the Court of Appeal of Cambodia, after claiming he was not able to pay the lawyer of his choice due to his bank account being frozen by the authorities.

Heng Pov was due to answer charges of illegal possession and use of weapons at the Appeal Court, in a case for which he had been sentenced by the Municipal Court of Phnom Penh in 2007 to spend 18 months in prison and pay two million riels. In the end, the former commissioner only spent a few minutes at the stand on Tuesday, in the cramped and crowded courtroom of the Appeal Court.

I'm just speechless and surprise at the same time that Huynh Sen's still allowed Heng Pov to lived till this day. Not even an accident at the prison? Hmmmmmm!
Then again, take him out wouldn't look good on Huynh Sen's part.
Heng Pov is due to reunit with his predecessor. I'm sure a constructive plan is being drawn out by a team of pirate's.

These are the Trade Mark of Hun Sen Regime.


Hun Sen, Chea Sim and Heng Samrin are Khmer Rouge commanders.

Khmer Rouge Regime is a genocide organization.

Hun Sen Regime is a terrorist organization.
Hun Sen Bodyguards is a terrorist organization.
Hun Sen Death Squad is a terrorist organization.

I have declare the current Cambodian government which is lead by the Cambodian People's Party as a terrorist organization.
