THE government has issued a statement condemning last week’s US congressional hearing on human rights in Cambodia.
The statement, released Tuesday, focused especially on Sam Rainsy Party parliamentarian Mu Sochua, who told the Washington hearing on Thursday that Cambodian democracy is “experiencing an alarming free fall”.
In its statement, the government responded, “[The Cambodian government] totally reject[s] any unfounded accusations made by Mu Sochua.”
Prime Minister Hun Sen, the statement continued, “has always enhanced the reputation and honour of the National Assembly at national and international levels and promoted debates in the adoption of laws without prejudice”.
It also slammed the US Congress for not inviting Cambodian government officials to testify, warning that the move could relations with the US.
“A hearing with only a small group from the opposition is not balanced and does not respect the principles of democracy and fairness,” the statement read. “Such an activity will affect Cambodia-America relation[s].”
The two-page statement finished with a defence of the country’s record on human rights.
“[The Cambodian government is] very proud to note that Cambodia … is making progress in all fields, especially in the areas of human rights and democracy.”
During her testimony, Mu Sochua called for visa sanctions on officials suspected of corruption and the suspension of US aid to Cambodia’s Ministry of Defence. She is currently travelling in the US but plans to return to Cambodia on September 23.

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."

Hun Sen can bark as loud as he wants to about Human Rights abuse in Cambodia but pictures tell everything .
To KHMER ABROAD...PLEASE PLEASE STAND UP...
ONLY Samdech Akek Maha Sena Pethay Deychu Hun Sen, he can help you when needed. The Som Rainsy party cannot help you except causing problem by making the government and country look bad.
Note: if you post long sentence like a book, I won’t read it. Sorry guy”
Angkorian Krama Man
to Angkorian Krama Man, yes, we stand up for mu but not kwack, kwack corrupt to much let poor get poorer rich get richer and who are those riches people? are ah hun kwack party, how they get all million million dollar? what kind of business did they do for living? nothing just working for our country, how much do ah hun and their party pay per month? 2,500 permonth how could he get $3 million dollar from to buy property in us? stealling money from our own people such as teacher no pay or $20 permonth and othe $150 permonth, so all the money ah hun get from is sucking blood from his own poor people. wake up mr Angkorian Krama Man. this is just little unalyses, i will unallyses more if you want to know.
To 2:28 AM,
And U.S. should do to PM Hun Sen as it did to general Manual Noriega of Panama and Saddam Hussein of Iraq in the 90's. Here are their fates:
General Noriega was handcuffed in put in U.S. jail and Saddam Hussein was hanged.
5:07 AM
AWESOME JOB! REAL KHMER STAND UP!
I see Angkorian Krama Man comments everywhere. Are you a full time employee of Hun Sen? Look like you are paid just to write comments on KI media on a 24X7 basis in support of Hun Sen.
5:35 AM
REAL KHMER STAND UP! WONDERFUL JOB!
THE TRUTH:
General Noriega serving 225 years to life. (Drug trafficking)
Saddam Hussein was hung by American. (committed everything) and left behind $10,000,000,000 in his bunker.
Former Taiwainese prime minister serving 100 years. (Corruption)
Hun SEn's families and cronies,
You will not rule Cambodia for one hundred years, Vietnamese puppet Hun Sen!
One day you'll be barehanded, the same way Marcos and his family got in Philippines.
Yes, He's going to run through 2023. Were all dead by that time.
To 6:33 AM,
Your guess is that Hun Sen can run for election through 2023. Have you ever imagined he could die in the next two or three years. No one can predict the life expectancy of human being as each of us can die unexpectly by accidents such as car crash, lightening strike, downing or disease.
IF HUN SEN HUMAN RIGHT RECORD HAS BEEN IMPROVING WHY IS THIS ONE EYE , GANGSTER LEADER HAS BEEN BARKING AT
INTERNATIONAL EMBASSADOR , AT THE PRESS, AT THE OPPOSITION, AT THE NGO, EVERY BODY, EVERY ANGLE, EVERY CORNER, IS HE MAD AT THE WORLD? IS HE INSAINT. MAYBE HE IS SCARED AT THE OPPOSITION PARTY, KNOWING THAT IT
NEAR THE END OF HIS REGIME?
First he said 2012 to 2018. Since, at graduation ceremony he said he going through 2023. We all dead by that time and one more thing sooner or later there won't be real KHMER at all would be mixed KHMER/white, black, hispanic, arab, samoan and etc. I have these kind of family with me.
