Open Letter to Dr. Helen Jarvis, Appointed Head of the Victims Unit at the Extraordinary Chamber in the Court of Cambodia

Cartoon by Sacrava

CC: ECCC

Dear Dr. Jarvis:

In light of recent revelations of your background as an advocate for Marxist ideology, it becomes painfully clear that your new role as head of the victims unit for the Extraordinary Chamber in the Court of Cambodia (ECCC) presents a disturbing and grave conflict of interest. It is both absurd and insulting to have a Marxist advocate representing the victims of a Marxist regime, which was being tried by the court of law.

If the reports of your continued advocacy for Marxist ideology up to the early 2000s were true, it is unquestionably clear that you are unfit to represent the victims of the Marxist Khmer Rouge regime at the ECCC. To continue to do so, it is not only a disgrace to your honor, but also an insult to all of us who have survived and demised under the brutality of the Khmer Rouge’s government.

As a victim of the Khmer Rouge regime, I am speechless and utterly appalled to see a well-educated person like you failed to realize that what you are doing is not only wrong, but also an affront to the dignity of humanity, especially, those who had perished in the Cambodian killing fields. Thus, on behalf of myself, a victim of the Khmer Rouge regime on whose behalf you represent, and on behalf of my father and millions of other Cambodians who died painfully under the abuses of the Khmer Rouge regime, I would like to tell, ask, or beg you to please remove yourself as head of the ECCC’s victims unit or from any function within the ECCC altogether.

Sincerely,

Chanda Chhay
Washington, DC (U.S.A.)

Mr. Chhay if you have proof that Dr. Jarvis is a marxist unfit to serve in the ECCC you should raise this issue to higher up, to UN. Don't bark at a wrong tree. Be sure your case against her is not heresay.

I am wondering why Mr Chhay didn't ask Hun Sen and his colleagues to step down too because they were Khmer Rouge leaders and Khmer Rouge philosophies don't fit the modern society .
