While Duch's trial is set to enter its seventh week on Monday June 8th, pressure on the Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia (ECCC) to address allegations of corruption and political interferences has kept growing. In the latest stir, a press conference was given by Michiel Pestman, the international co-lawyer for Nuon Chea, former Brother Nº2, on Thursday June 4th in Phnom Penh. He denounced a “security incident”, which occurred on the previous day, concerning a confidential letter originating from his office, which was allegedly taken out unbeknownst to him. He also expressed concern over the recent appointment of Helen Jarvis at the head of the Victims Unit as well as interferences of the Cambodian government in the judicial process, whilst also raising the issue of corruption that allegedly affects the national side of the internationalised tribunal...

When Ah Ho and Sihanouk tell you to go to left you must go to left and when they tell you to go to right you must go to right.
Can Helen Jarvist - who has Marxist-Leninist ties - be trusted to lead the ECCC victims unit?

Hey smart ass 2:08 PM,

Don't care who you are whether you are "for" or "against" Khmer. But it may be more effective if you JA can give us an inkling as to what kind of product CPP is already (in one or two words) then tell us to go to that link of yours for details...

Can you JA do that instead of beating around the bush of yours???

Sarcastically yours,

This is Hun Sen's democracy theory.

1. All mass media is totally controlled by government.

2. Any one dare criticize or express opinion will be sued in the court of Sok An in defamation as criminal verdict such as Moeun Son, Mu Sochua, Kong Som Onn, Ho Vann, and Hang Chakra etc. This defamatory lawsuits against the critics is intentionally silencing the Cambodian people from freedom of expression.

3. Corruption is rampantly entire the country...sii touch doy touch sii thom doy thom

4. Om Yintieng, Kieve Kannarith and Sok Ann are the main spearhead of making trouble and weakening Cambodian government structure.
