Chour Sreya, a survivor of an acid attack, prepares for her wedding in "Finding Face," a documentary about human rights that will make its Portland premier Sunday, Aug. 23 at the Portland Art Museum. (By Jake Thomas /The Portland Observer)Film looks at gendered form of violence
The Portland Observer
In a country with limited opportunity for women, Tat Marina was a rising star.
Beautiful and talented, she was gaining an increasing amount of attention in Cambodia's karaoke scene. She eventually caught the eye of a powerful government official, Svay Sitha, who obsessed over her, and pampered her with luxuries that Tat Marina once thought she could only dream of.
However, she also drew the ire of the Svay's wife, who splashed acid on her face while feeding her niece fish porridge. The savage attack left Tat Marina disfigured and her life in shambles.
"Finding Face", a documentary produced by Skye Fitzgerald and Patti Duncan, is as much about the unaccountable power and the second-class citizen status of women in Cambodia as it is about Tat Marina's 10-year struggle to establish some semblance of normalcy after having her life violently unsettled.
Sadly, there is nothing uncommon about the sort of attack Tat suffered in Cambodia, where women are often hideously disfigured by jealous men who splash acid in their faces. The men who perpetuate these violent assaults are seldom held to account, and their victims rarely speak out.
The attack effectively ended Tat Marina's karaoke career, forcing her to hide the scars on her face with a piece of cloth whenever in public. She was pressured by Svay Sitha to remain quiet, but continued to speak out. She eventually fled to the United States to live with her brother. There, she got asylum and received reconstructive surgery, and gave birth to a child.
However, in Cambodia acid attacks continue against women with impunity. Svay Sitha even received a promotion, despite his involvement being well known.
"Finding Face", is an impactful and well-told story of one woman's courage to confront an injustice that is far-removed from many of its viewers, but is still very real for its victims.
The documentary recently premiered at the International Film Festival and Forum on Human rights in Geneva and will make it's Portland debut on Sunday, Aug. 23 at 7 p.m. at the Portland Art Museum's Whitsell Auditorium, 1219 S.W. Park Ave.
Tat Marina will be in attendance and answer questions after the screening.

It's not the men; it's the women who does vicious things to each other. However, it is the old and powerful men who usually forced the relationship. They both must be punished in according to law but Cambodia is the land of impunity for the rich and powerful.
Why the wife did not throw acid on her husband's face instead.

Since 2 years, the crimes were reduced to minimum, we had brought perpetrators to justice, punish them, there is no doubt about it, as long as I am Secretary of State for Ministry of Interior. In the past three week, we had an traffic accident in the center of Phnom Penh, one of the motorbike has shot the driver to death (SRP MP's son) and wound three others passengers. As the result of that incidents, I put pressure on Police Chief in Phnom Penh, Touch Naroth to bring the culprit to justice and punish him.

if this kind of evil intention was happening in america, victim will become so rich by suing! hope cambodia make law to punish the bad people harming others, etc... plus, nowadays, even cell phones have digital camera build in them, so why not people everywhere use them to take picture of injustice and give them to authority for evidence against criminal, etc...! wake up people, get smarter already! this is not the dark ages, you know!

ACID ATTACK ON TAT MARINA
Cambodian People's Party Hun Sen Khmer Rouge Regime had committed acid attack.
"On December 5, 1999, Tat Marina, age 16, was severely disfigured in an acid attack in Phnom Penh. The attack was allegedly committed by Khun Sophal, the wife of a senior government official, Svay Sitha, because she was angry her husband had a sexual relationship with Tat Marina. Neither Khun Sophal nor those suspected of being her accomplices in the attack were brought to justice. Intense media publicity compelled the Phnom Penh Municipal Court to issue an arrest warrant for Khun Sophal for attempted murder, but the police claimed that they could not locate her, although journalists reported that she was living at home as usual."

TORTURE AND MURDER ON PRAK SITHA WHILE IN CUSTODY BY MISNISTRY OF INTERIOR OFFICIAL
Cambodian People's Party Hun Sen Khmer Rouge Regime had committed torture and murder.
"On the night of January 16, 2003, a street youth named Prak Sitha was beaten to death at the Ministry of Interior (MOI) headquarters after he was arrested and detained by off-duty MOI officers on suspicion of theft. His body - bearing numerous injuries to the head, torso, arms, and legs - was dumped at a Phnom Penh pagoda the following morning by ministry officers, in violation of police regulations regarding deaths in custody. No criminal charges were filed in connection with this death. In December 2004, the case was cited by the UN secretary-general's special representative for human rights in Cambodia - who stated that Prak Sitha died at the ministry "following beatings by a known police officer" - as an example of a "consistent and continuing pattern of impunity" in Cambodia."

"On September 4, 2008, Mean Sokchea, a RCAF major working in Brigade 70, shot dead 21-year-old waitress Put Samphors at a restaurant in Kandal province. Mean Sokchea, in a drunken stupor, fired his gun and apparently mistakenly hit Put Samphors in the stomach. She was taken to a hospital but later died of her wounds. Mean Sokchea was detained by the police overnight but was then released, allegedly after intervention by Hing Bun Heang. Put Samphor's family received US$2,700 from Mean Sokchea, and the police told them that their daughter was shot while authorities were chasing robbers."

BUTCHERS ON A SMALLER SCALE:
HUN SEN AND THE CAMBODIAN PEOPLE'S PARTY
by Bruce Sharp
On July 7, 1997, Hun Sen, the leader of the Cambodian People's Party (CPP), overthrew Prime Minister Norodom Ranariddh in a brutal, bloody coup. Two days of fighting left at least 58 people dead and hundreds wounded. Ranariddh's forces were overwhelmed.
The atmosphere in the weeks prior to the coup was one of optimism. Rumors surfaced that Pol Pot, the head of the hated Khmer Rouge, had been captured, and would be turned over to the government to stand trial. The Khmer Rouge were defeated, consumed in the end by their own violence and infighting. But in a bitter twist of fate, killers have become a sought-after commodity in Cambodia. The remaining Khmer Rouge were a prize. Ranariddh, whose soldiers had been battlefield allies of the Khmer Rouge throughout most of the Eighties, seemed poised to absorb them into his ranks. Hun Sen, fearing the effect that this might have on his attempts to consolidate his power, moved to crush Ranarridh before the Khmer Rouge could join him.
In the days leading up to the coup, Hun Sen protested loudly that the Khmer Rouge were murderers, and that they should have no place in Cambodian politics. This is a admirable sentiment. But it is rather odd to hear it from Hun Sen, who is himself a former Khmer Rouge soldier. His defection from the Khmer Rouge came only when one of the many purges conducted by the Khmer Rouge came to focus on his own ranks. One can only assume that he had no particular objection to genocide, so long as it was not directed at him personally.
In the days following Ranariddh's overthrow, Hun Sen's soldiers hunted down supporters of Ranariddh's FUNCINPEC party. Several of the victims were apparently tortured before being murdered; four of the bodyguards of Nhiek Bun Chhay, Ranariddh's top military commander, were found with their eyes gouged out. (Nhiek Bun Chhay narrowly escaped.) Former Interior Minister Ho Sok was shot in the head while in the custody of Hun Sen's military. Chau Sambath, an intelligence expert for Ranariddh, was "shot while trying to escape" according to one CPP account, and "committed suicide" according to another. The United Nations, meanwhile, reported that several persons imprisoned in the wake of the coup had been tortured; they were beaten, forced to drink sewer water, and some had their fingers crushed in metal clamps. Thirty detainees were held in an unlit, unventilated cell roughly six feet wide by twenty feet long. In a haunting echo of the Khmer Rouge years, the CPP denied that FUNCINPEC supporters had been killed. They had, according to the CPP, been sent for "re-education." In the aftermath of these incidents, Amnesty International has issued an appeal to embassies in Cambodia to provide shelter to Royalist party members. Hun Sen's soldiers, meanwhile, celebrated their victory with a looting spree throughout much of Phnom Penh. Even hospitals were not spared. Soldiers stole medicine, beds, and blankets, leaving nothing behind for the care of the wounded. When the UN Human Rights office publicized the killings and torture, Hun Sen called for the replacement of the UN staff and demanded an apology from the UN.
Some scholars have promoted the idea that the core of the Cambodian People's Party was formed from the ranks of "good Khmer Rouge" -- a noble, caring group of kind-hearted revolutionaries who were oppressed by the evil "Pol Pot - Ieng Sary clique."
Anyone who believes that this is so should be reminded that Hun Sen initially acquired the role of "co-Prime Minister" only because he threatened renewed civil war when he lost the UN-sponsored elections in 1993. (For details, see Alan Knight's essay on Hun Sen and Democracy.) Those who still harbor lingering doubts should recall the Easter Sunday grenade attack on pro-democracy protesters in Phnom Penh, an assault that killed at least 18 people and wounded as many as 100 more. After the incident, Hun Sen suggested that opposition leader Sam Rainsy, who arranged the demonstration (and whose bodyguard was killed in the attack), should be arrested. When he finished blaming the victims, he suggested that the Khmer Rouge were responsible. In a sense, he is probably correct: When Hun Sen looks in the mirror, a Khmer Rouge stares back.
The 1998 elections were intended to bestow the mantle of legitimacy on Hun Sen. But the elections were a farce. (See the 1998 Human Rights Watch Report on Cambodia for a detailed description of the conditions in Cambodia leading up to the supposedly "fair" election.) The international community seemed to have exhausted its patience with Cambodia, and clearly intended to wash their hands of the entire matter. Observers rushed to declare the elections "legitimate" even before the votes were counted. After the failure of the UN to enforce the results of the previous election, and the muted reaction to the 1997 coup, one suspects the rest of the world simply decided to declare victory and go home.
After decades of war and violence, the Khmer Rouge are gone. The Khmer Rouge were brutal, stupid despots. Hun Sen is a brutal, intelligent one. In an article in the Salt Lake Tribune, noted Cambodia scholar Stephen Heder described Hun Sen in a single sentence: "He is both a competent political administrator and a ruthless political criminal."
Surely, the people of Cambodia deserve better.

Ah New Phally, are you trying to misleading the Cambodian peoples and at the same time make yourself looks good?
This is an indication that Ah New Phally is a criminal.
Ah New Phally, you're support Cambodian People's Party Hun Sen Khmer Rouge Regime who is killing innocent Khmer peoples, do me a favor don't ever tell anyone that you are Khmer, because you make Khmer peoples look bad.
hey, let's not forget that in a real democratic country, everyone is entitle to their rights and political affiliation as much as you do. so, stop being so ironic by attack those who aren't affiliated with your party. that's called hypocritical, really! i thought you are preaching and helping to promote democracy, and already some of you started to show your hypocritical or true character, here. please! where is setting a good example? go figure. like father like son? get used to it! nobody can always please you all of the time, you know! respect makes a huge difference!
how about accepting political diversity as well. nobody is right or wrong all of the time, you know! think about it, be smarter, please!
Posters, and 3:45 AM,
I want to highligh and mention that Mr. New Phally is living in the US and he seemed to understand more and more about what is justice than those clowns in Cambodia.
Give him times to learn and to adopt a model of a civilized nation like America. Mr. Phally may be able to help to shape up Cambodia into a society where the people respect laws of the land including Mr. Hun Sen himself that he is not above the laws as he thinks he is.
Having read and following Mr. Phappy making his comments, I believe he is a good citizen of Cambodia and I believe he wants to be remebered as a good Khmer citizen, a Khmer hero after his death.
If the criminals like Mr. Svay Sitha's wife can be brought to justice and be put in jail, we owed an enormous debt of gratitude to Mr. Phally.
We Khmers must understand the situation in Cambodia today, why people tend to commit crimes.
Please posters, don't be so hostile toward him, though he works with the CPP.

"The human right watch were not reliable source, it didn't have jurisdiction to do investigation over the crimes, it was only opinion, there were no evidence to prove."
You are wrong.
The human right watch, Global Witness, Heng Peov, FBI, U.S. Senate and NGOs are reliable sources.
These peoples and organizations have no reason to lies, no needs to lies and they are a truly human being unlike a psychopathic (a person who's does feel hurt when others feel hurt) like you and the Cambodian People's Party Hun Sen Khmer Rouge Regime.
"Therefore, if the victime want to bring suspect to justice, she must pay a high price to the law enforcement to do investigation again, which the Ministry of Interior can't afford."
So this is one of your excuses?
With all the jurisdiction to do investigation over the crimes, all the evidences, victims and witnesses, the Cambodian People's Party Hun Sen Khmer Rouge Regime government unable to find even one killer. Consider there are many innocent men, women, children, Sam Rainsy Party's members, FUNCINPEC Party's members, journalists and Leader of the Free Trade Union has been assassinated, executed, murdered and tortured.

Under Cambodian People's Party Hun Sen Khmer Rouge Regime, no criminals that has been committed crimes against journalists, political opponents, leader of the Free Trade Union and others innocent Khmer peoples within Cambodian People's Party Hun Sen Khmer Rouge government have ever been brought to justice.
New Phally, you're support the Cambodian People's Party Hun Sen Khmer Rouge Regime who is killing innocent Khmer peoples, do me a favor don't ever tell anyone that you are Khmer, because you make Khmer peoples look bad.
The Pol Pot Khmer Rouge Regime call Cambodia; Democratic Kampuchea which is completely opposite.
Cambodia was a Communist Kampuchea.
Saying an opposite is an indication that they are a criminals that don't take any responsible for the crimes that they have committed.
The different between me and you is I support innocent Khmer peoples and you support the Cambodian People's Party Hun Sen Khmer Rouge Regime who is killing innocent Khmer peoples.
You see, what's happening in Cambodia?

The US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) when to Cambodia to investigate a terrorist attack against an American citizen name Ron Abney, they are not there for exotic vacation or for Cambodian politic.
The US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI)
On March 30, 1997, a crowd of approximately 200 supporters of the opposition Khmer Nation Party (KNP), led by former Finance Minister Sam Rainsy, gathered in a park across the street from the National Assembly to denounce the judiciary’s corruption and lack of independence. In a well-planned attack, four grenades were thrown into the crowd, killing protesters and bystanders, including children, and tearing limbs off street vendors. The grenade attack made headlines and provoked outrage around the world. On June 29, 1997, the Washington Post wrote:
"In a classified report that could pose some awkward problems for U.S. policymakers, the FBI tentatively has pinned responsibility for the blasts, and the subsequent interference, on personal bodyguard forces employed by Hun Sen, one of Cambodia’s two prime ministers, according to four U.S. government sources familiar with its contents. The preliminary report was based on a two-month investigation by FBI agents sent here under a federal law giving the bureau jurisdiction whenever a U.S. citizen is injured by terrorism. ... The bureau says its investigation is continuing, but the agents involved reportedly have complained that additional informants here are too frightened to come forward."
"The FBI was close to solving the case when its lead investigator was suddenly ordered out of the country by the US ambassador, Kenneth Quinn," said Brad Adams, Asia director at Human Rights Watch. "The FBI has damning evidence in its files that suggests that Prime Minister Hun Sen ordered the attack, but it has refused to fully cooperate with congressional inquiries or follow through on its initial investigation. Instead of trying to protect US relations with Cambodia, it should now finish what it started."
The FBI investigated the attack because Ron Abney, a US citizen, was seriously injured in the blast, which the United States at the time deemed to be an "act of terrorism." Abney had to be evacuated to Singapore to treat shrapnel wounds in his hip.
