For Immediate Release


CCHR welcomes the Government’s decision to drop its planned lawsuit against Chea Mony

The Cambodian Center for Human Rights (CCHR) welcomes the decision by the Royal Government of Cambodia (RGC) to refrain from taking legal action against Chea Mony, the President of the Free Trade Union of Workers in the Kingdom of Cambodia (FTUWKC).

The Cambodia Daily article headlined ‘Gov’t Won’t Seek Lawsuit Against Union Leader’ (August 31, 2009) quoted RGC spokesman and Information Minister Khieu Kanharith as stating that the RGC has dropped its plans to file a complaint against Chea Mony. This reversal follows a request by Prime Minister Hun Sen to call off the lawsuit. The RGC had previously signaled its intention to sue Chea Mony after the union leader had said that RGC officials could have been involved in the assassination of his older brother and former FTUWC President Chea Vichea.

This reversal is a positive sign for freedom of expression in Cambodia and represents tolerance and maturity on behalf of the RGC. The CCHR commends the RGC and Prime Minister Hun Sen and is hopeful that this decision reflects a new approach to freedom of expression and democratization in Cambodia.

តែពលពតទេ។ដួច្នេះបានជារដ្ធាភិបាលខំទប់ស្កាត់
កុំឲ្យពលពតត្រឡប់មកវិញ។

It might take more time for Hun Xen to civilize with law of running the country. He is slow progress! The more pressure he receives locally or internationally
The more he will start to change his iron rule of law.

The guy writing Khmer he is a commie. He doesn't understand the word democracy. He seems like he is living in the age of Stalin.

He should be exterminated. Like Khmer Proverb said, "To keep him/her nothing gain, to rid him/her is nothing to lose.

We must learn the history and don't repeat like the guy wrote in Khmer above. He is a retard.

Khmer love Khmer,

10:09PM,
I agree with you. I was about to say the same thing as you just did, but I thought not to bother...
Actually this proverb is the Khmer Rouge's when they began to purge the innocent people to slaughter. In the book QUALITY OF MERCY, it's written: "To keep you is no benefit; to get rid of you is no loss."

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."

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."
