Cambodians want more prosecutions, survey finds

Who's next? (Photo: AP)

Written by Elena Lesley The Phnom Penh Post

A recent survey by the Documentation Center of Cambodia shows that a slight majority of Cambodians polled -- 56.8 percent -- think the tribunal should pursue additional suspects beyond the five defendants already in custody. DC-Cam interviewed a little over 1,000 Cambodians, including former "New People" (pre-Khmer Rouge city dwellers), "Base People" (many of those formerly involved with the Khmer Rouge) and those who are too young to remember the 1975-1979 period.

Of the younger people surveyed, 67.5 percent supported additional prosecutions, "perhaps indicating that the young generation has a different view of justice than their parents, the direct victims," according to the DC-Cam report.

The complete survey report is available here.

At this point, no announcement has been made about a resolution to the dispute between Co-Prosecutors over additional prosecutions.

If we look at their record in the past 29 years, these three idiots are not leaders. But they are robbers. They only wanted to robbed the country for themself instead leading the country to the right direction. They have turn Cambodia from an advance free country to a feudal country where Police and Military are their bodyguards. Advance khmer

I agree with your comment, and the Justice should bring those three people too. They just not obbed the country, they already seale our Land to Youn/VN.

I would like to encourage khmer people around the wold, we need to stand up, we need to change this government and find the better one, neverever give up. From my perpective to all the Khmer people in Cambodia most of them they are suffered, but they very strong, even they get tortured from Hun Sen government. Hopefuly our young generation will be take over their future back.

Khmer in blood.

Nothing new! Stupid in stupid out as usual. The assassins rule, the assassins judge who they want where they want, what they want while the victims are left out to pay the bloody crimes of these assassins

What the victims can do against this kind of crime? Do they have any power to fight against these assassins?

Historically the vietkong are proved its strongest force in ruse, in atrocities, in policy and humain resource. The viets need land to expand its race and natural resource to feed the mouth of its offspring. So killing other to expand its race and territorial is a question of survival instinct for the viets which may consider by these last ones as its sacred duty for its race or nation.

Killing is an survival instinct for animals although some who considered themselves as humain still cant get out of this primitive animal instinct.

INITIALLY, WITHOUT OUR GOD KING SIHANOUK'S CRIMINAL ACTS, RETALIATION AND HATRED , THESE THREE MONKEYS WOULD NOT BE EXISTED.
PLEASE DO NOT FORGET TO BRING SIHANOUK INTO THE TRIAL AS WELL
JUST LIKE SALOTH SAR (POL POT) AND HIS CLANS EVEN TRYING TO RECRUIT THE KHMER PEOPLE TO JOIN THEIR INSANE COMMUNIST DOCTRINES FOR THREE MILLION YEARS NO ONES KNEW IENG SARY, KHIEU SAM PHAN, NUON CHEA, POL POT OR TA MOK EVEN SON SEN . THE KHMER PEOPLE MOSTLY AT THE TIME BELIEVED IN SIHANOUK ONLY .
A Survivor of the Killing Fields

There's a lot of individuals that can be prosecuted. The only problem is that many of them former Khmer Rouge already hold ministry, generals of the military, member or parliament and CPP permanent committee positions.

You can judge, you can kill these killing machines but if you don’t destroy or kill those who programmed these killing tools or machines, Cambodia wont get out of the kind of crime like killing field, K5 or the rest of crimes and misery under the supreme rule of khmer rouge cpp or hun kvang.

What kind of human you are to accept the rules and rulers imposed by yuons or other foreigners who want your death. We all know that these khmer rouges sihanouk, polpot, cpp officers are not Khmer leaders but killing tools imposed by others to kill and destroy Khmer but the most absurd is that you all accept these criminals as gods as legitimated leaders to rule over your heads and decide your life at your place. And by them it is the yuons who decide your life, your destiny at your place.

"No one can defeat Hun Sen! Only Hun Sen can defeat Hun Sen..."
- Hun Sen, during a speech

Hun Sen currently smokes 1 1/2 packs of 555 cigarettes everyday. At outdoors speeches and ceremonies, he even is rude enough to light up a cigarette and smoke when the Cambodian National Anthem is being played. Each cigarette is like another nail on his coffin. He's soon to have emphysema and lung cancer and eventually die. To bad he won't rule Cambodia until he's 80+ years old as he tried to self-predict.

4:23AM,

Good point. Hun Sen is killing himself. He's defeating himself by himself. Only Hun Sen can defeat Hun Sen and he's sure 100% right about that.

Anonymous said...

I may say only yuons who can decide hun sen fate and your fate as well

hun sen can be withdrawal from power if yuons decide so as yuons did against polpot, not you, not khmer people or anyone. As long as hun sen continue to serve yuon policy and yuon interest as he did right now, yuons will keep him alive with all power he may need until hun sen become useless for yuons or an black animal to beat out by yuons as polpot, chan si and other of his khmer rouge comrades

Have a leader as hun sen, all of your looks bad and stupid than simples animals yet non of you can do nothing against hun sen because it is not you or hun sen who can decide your destiny but those who imposed hun sen or khmer rouge to rule over your life

True justice and prosecution should be no limit and no boundary. So far, as we can see those five none government members. There are many more who are members of the khmer rouge and witnesses of the crime and killing who are government official of the CPP. If this will be the case of justice. Proper terminology should be used, and not the word " justice " should be use here for this khmer rouge trials. Why don't we also wait until this government is no longer government and trials them also like the current 5 memebers being trialed now ? If this is what the CPP wants. Then their time will come for their own trial by the another court in the future?

maybe this justice of the future. When power and curruptions is on or not on your side.

All of these monkeys never believe in Buddhism. Their hypocritic gestures are used to fool some Khmer people to trust them. "Action speaks louder than words." All their criminal acts have clearly proved that they are evil in disguide. They have so very little compassion, kindness, sympathy and mercy for the miserable Khmer people who have been destitude and desperate for their rights to be legal Khmers living on their own land, without being chased around like illegal immigrants.

It is a joke. More than 2 millions died and the world now try only 5 people. Hun Sen and his government know very well how to play this game with UN and the rest of the world.

If you voted for CPP (Cambodian People's Party):

Also known as:

Communist People's Party
Khmer Rouge People's Party
Khmer Krorhorm People's Party
Khmer Revolution Party


You're support the killing of 1.7 million innocent Khmer peoples from 1975 to 1979 in Cambodia.

You're support the killing at least twelve innocent men, women and children on March 30, 1997 Grenade Attack in Cambodia.

You're support assassination of journalists in Cambodia.

You're support political assassination and killing in Cambodia.

You're support attempted assassination and murder of leader of the free trade union in Cambodia.

You're support corruption in Cambodia.

You're support murder of Piseth Pilika (Hun Sen's affaire).

Hun Sen, Chea Sim and Heng Samrin was a former Khmer Rouge commanders.
Now, Hun Sen, Chea Sim and Heng Samrin are Khmer Rouge leaders, since their leader (Pol Pot) is dead.
From 1975 to 1979, these Khmer Rouge commanders responsible for killing 1.7 million innocent Khmer peoples in Cambodia.
From 1980 to present, these Khmer Rouge leaders responsible for killing innocent men, women and children on March 30, 1997, assassinated journalists, political assassination and killing, murder of Piseth Pilika (Hun Sen's affaire) and attempted assassinated and murder of leader of the free trade union in Cambodia.

When is the ECCC going to bring these three criminals to U.N. Khmer Rouge Tribunal?

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.
Cambodian People's Party is a terrorist organization.

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

Whoever associate with the current Cambodian government are associate with a terrorist organization.


Hun Sen Khmer Rouge Regime committed:

Torture
Execution
Massacre
Starvation
Overwork to Death
Slavery
Rape

Assault and Battery
Drive by Shooting
Assassination
Murder
Killing
Terrorism
Intimidation

Human Trafficking

These are the Trade Marks of Hun Sen Khmer Rouge Regime.

Under Hun Sen Regime, no criminals that has been committed murder and all other crimes within Hun Sen's government ever been brought to justice.

1:38PM and 2:15AM.
As often seen the languages such as "Ah" Khmer referred to a man, and only the barbarians like Hin Sithan and his Vietnamese friend, a fake Khmer Krom with his name Ly Ngoc Dinh then Ly Diep/Yeip and current Ly Anthony would use.
Your Evil wishes have never come truth, because you are also a fake Buddhists Khmers say T'mils who don't even believe in Fate of men.

Before many Khmers believed Ly Ngoc Dinh later they knew who is not what he said he is.
Some who threw their trust on Ly Ngoc Dinh like Hin Sithan and who knows how many left are hypocrite for cursing the thugs in Phnom Penh while they are the same brianwashed by just a Youn spy Ly Ngocg Diep. If these Khmers can believe a barbarian Viet spy Ly Ngoc Diep and why do they blame ah Kvack in Cambodia? Ly Ngoc Diep called for actions so some Khmes may listen to his call, and they will assassinate the King the same as the Vietnamese Communist want it the same. VIetnamese don't want China and a friend of China inside Cambodia while they hold Hun Sen by the throat.


If 10 Vietnamese came to Cambodia in th ename of Khmer krom like Ly Ngoc Dinh/Diep/Yiep, 1000 Khmer Krom would be disappeared in somewhere or may be burned alive with no mass graves to prove it.

From France, to UK, Aussie, Canada, US around the world Khmer Community already knew Ly Ngoc Dinh/Diep/Yiep is a fake Khmer Krom. He is among many Vietnamese spies.

Hin Sithan a former teacher then joined Khmer Rouge is in action to persecute Khmer King.
