The Tom Lantos Human Rights Commission (TLHRC) of the US Congress plans to hold a public hearing to discuss the current violations of human rights and abuses of the judicial system in Cambodia.
The public hearing is scheduled for 10 September 2009, between 1 and 3 PM at the US Congress in Washington DC.
According to the announcement issued by office of the co-chairs of the US Congresss human rights committee, dated 26 August 2009, the committee plans to invite SRP MP Mu Sochua, Dr. Pung Chiv Kek, President of the Licadho human rights group, Moeun Tola, President of the Cambodia Labor Organization, to participate in the hearing, as well as representatives of the US State Department.
The public hearing plans to focus on social problems in Cambodia. The TLHRC organized this public hearing after it received numerous information from trusted sources showing that the Phnom Penh regime is using the legal system to discriminate against the opposition and opposition activists, against journalists who criticize the government and against victims of land dispute cases. The government does not provide justice to people in the resolution of land disputes, but instead, it is supporting the companies [accused of land-grabbing] in full violation of human rights. These issues are major concerns for the US.

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."

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."

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.

Mr. PM, you always claims that other countries intefere in your country internal affairs, yet you keep on begging, accepting money from those countries. You should be aware that aids money is not free. The countries, be it China, America, Japan, Vietnam etc... want something in return in exchange for aids. Some countries want concessions for business purposes and somes want you to improve human rights within your country. I even heard you annonced once or twice that among donor countries, China is the only country that provide aids without condition. However, to my knowledge you award lots mega contracts to China to do business in Cambodia and this is just one example. And I can go on and on... To me, the best solution to avoid interference in your country by other countries is to learn how to live on your own. I thought I heard one of your officals declared numerous time that We, Cambodians are proud of ouselves and we have dignity. Well, if we, Cambodians, are proud of ourselves and have dignity we should give up begging business as it do no good to our pride and dignity.
Mr. Meng, Yay Phou and the rest of Hun Xens' cronies, shame on you. You bleed the poor people hearts alive. Every little land they have, you take it. Don't you have any conscience at all as a human being? Is this how you gain your wealth?
to HUNSEN ......awww shit fakaaaaa
YOU GOING DOWNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN
BURN IN HELL WITH THE FUCKING THAIS
Everyone has their own consciouses of the moral right and wrong of one's own acts or motives.My conscience telling me Mr.Hun Sen is tire of the politic and he want to withdraw from his position to live as normal person again. But who's the right person to be next leader the Kingdom of Casmbodia???
10:09 AM,
Hun Sen wants to step down and can't anybody to replace him? You're probably right because it's hard to find another mad man like Hun Sen.
Folks, if you are true Khmers and you condemn Thai please be sure that you condemn Viet too since both of them are invading our country. Condemning Thai while said nothing about Viet make it appears that you only act against the Thai only. The silence in regard to Viet make it looks like that you are supporting the Viet to stay in our country and this is exactly what the Viet want to hear.
Hun Sen want to step down? Ha ha ha ah ha ha ha what a joke. Who going to believe that. How many people he has kill, even his own rank just to hang on to his power hungry.
Hun sen will be remembered as a man who helps the viets to invade cambodia.
Mu Suchua aka (strong leg), I don't
mean open leg for husband aka (strong arm) with sensitives fingers will beneficial from that meeting.
Ah Hun Xen going to win again in 2012 and 2018. He been barking all the time about he is the strongest man enough to run again.
If Hun Sen believes that he is a great leader howcome he run a country with autocratic system.
South Korea has been pragmatically changed from a corrupt dictatorship system just like Hun Sen twenty years ago under the one man rule General Pak Chung Hee, after the fall of Pak Chung Hee Korean rebuild their country with thruth democratic system, the free and fair election system to a successful world competion economy now with Japan in just 28 years. Why not cambodia due to Neighbors interferences for decade of political decision making with our crrupt leader who has no shame to abide by it.
Cambodia could be one of the best in south East Asia if not under one man rule to seft destroyed our own dsetiny to be a great country.
This facts finding is nothing new. Unforturnately, this is just a show. Cambodians are still suffering since 1997 of ousted the KR regim. The West, China and Japan know about the injustice, human right abuse. Recently the GW exposes all the abuse, and yet the donors still give money to current regim. These donors have their embassy. Cambodia is just another post cold war era geopolical game. Interesting books to read: Facing Death in Cambodia, and The Lost.
No body be able to answer my question,Who's having sufficient power or skill and resource to be the next leader of Cambodia at this time???
If nobody can do it. Please stop accusing each other and start working together to rebuild our Country.(I am 10:09 AM)
Because we are not going back to the past.Even the great wall of China is falling.Nothing on earth last forever...May God bless the Kingdom of Cambodia!!!
12:19 PM,
Work with Hun Sen, the jungle man?
You got to be kidding?
The power of the mind by which man attains the truth or knowledge.NO! I am not kidding.My heart and my mind are going to my Country and my people.
I wish that I have magic to change the Country overnight and our Khmer people that suffering.I always believe there is away to solve all kind of problems on earth or the earth will be explode.
all living things will be ceases to exist.(THE END OF THE WORLD)
