(RTTNews) - U.S. Senator Jim Webb, who is on a two-week tour of five South-East Asian nations, made a lightning visit to Cambodia Tuesday to 'invigorate' the United States' relationship with that country.
Talking to reporters at the capital, Phnom Penh, Webb said he assured during talks with the minister of commerce that Washington will take a "very close look" at the Trade Act of 2009, a measure introduced to provide duty-free access to the U.S. market for garments made in 14 least-developed countries.
He stressed the need for labor standards in beneficiary countries meeting international standards.
He said he discussed with the leaders of two of the opposition groups about the ongoing crackdown by the Cambodian government against its opponents. The U.S. wants to do "what we can to encourage political diversity in Cambodia," he added.
He is to meet with Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen later in the day.
Chairman of the U.S. Senate's Sub-Committee on East Asian and Pacific Affairs, Webb visited Laos, Myanmar, and Thailand with the mission of the U.S. government's re-engagement with Southeast Asia at all levels.
He will wind up the tour with a visit to Vietnam later Tuesday.

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."

Mr.Jim Webb, say to the president Obama to give now justice to Cambodia. And let Nixon and Kissinger, these two criminals of war, to be judged by an international court.
ReplyDeleteJim Webb is on his mission to isolate Asian nations from China.
ReplyDeleteBecause China controls WATER to put pressure on Vietnam.
The US closed its eyes on the quiet invasion by the Vietnamese in Cambodia and why now they start to care?
Jim Webb, married to a Vietnamese woman and his eyes are not on the dictator Hun Sen? His eyes are on China's DAMS. China controls WATER and Vietnamese now scream for help SAVE VIETNAM FROM CHINA'S EXPANSIONISM?
How about KHmers?
Don't believe the socialist Liberals LIAR.
I am neither Dem nor Rep, but I hate the liberal Dem more, because they are stupid with this socialist universal healthcare.
