Raoul Jennar, the Belgian advisor of Hun Xen’s government and an expert in constitutional law, expressed his concerns when he saw that some tourist guides written in French contain attacks on Hun Xen’s regime. He said that such attacks could affect the emotion of tourists visiting Cambodia.
Raoul Jennar made this comment during his meeting discussion with Khieu Kanharith, the minister of Information, in the afternoon of 08 September 2009, at the ministry of Information.
Raoul Jennar came to Cambodia in 1989 to provide help to the People’s Republic of Kampuchea (PRK), the Vietnamese-installed puppet regime, to set up a new constitution in order to form the state of Kampuchea. This year, he is also giving a talk, for the first time, at the Cambodian news media headquarter about democracy in the world.
Currently, Raoul Jennar is a Cambodian government advisor providing help in international relation, such as the KR Tribunal and the Preah Vihear temple issue etc…
Raoul Jennar also indicated that some foreign countries said that freedom of the press in Cambodia dropped and he said that Cambodia must put additional effort to let other countries understand about this issue. Furthermore, he also raised the issue of the delays at the KR Tribunal work due to other piling up problems.
In response to Raoul Jennar, Khieu Kanharith said that the publishing freedom right in Cambodia is guaranteed by the Cambodian press law. However, he said that, when false reports are printed, Cambodia has the right to review these publications by a panel of experts, therefore tourist guides must also be reviewed by the ministry of Tourism, and as far as the concerns expressed by Raoul Jennar, the ministry of Information plans to discuss this issue with the ministry of Tourism. Furthermore, the ministry of Information will review all these points, and it will send its guidelines to the publishers. [KI-Media note: Khieu Kanharith must be joking if he thinks he can censure tourist guides published overseas].
Regarding freedom of the press, Khieu Kanharith said that Cambodia still have elevated freedom rights, but what people get confused is when disinformation is published and some [the publishers] are charged, then the public does not understand in depth that this is not done to prevent the freedom of the press, but that it is rather a case of defamation of the honor of certain individuals [like Hun Xen and Xok An?], or an act of incitation, such as the case of Angkor Wat temple when Thailand claimed that Cambodia does not have the ability to preserve the temple by itself. Therefore, according to Khieu Kanharith, some articles are not only defamation, they also constitute incitation as well.
Regarding the KR Tribunal, Khieu Kanharith said that Hun Xen’s stance, as expressed in his speech on 07 September, does not mean that Hun Xen is trying to prevent or put obstacles in the tribunal work, but that he only indicated that some of the issues raised by the KRT does not take into consideration the social aspect whereby several problems will be created. Right now, the KRT has 4 other KR leader cases to judge, why doesn’t it concentrate on this work? Furthermore, the number of explanations provided by the witnesses so far is sufficient enough, so there is almost no need to bring in additional witnesses to come forward and provide their clarifications. But, Khieu Kanharith added that, maybe the salary for the KRT judges are so high that there are delays taking place like this.

Mr Raoul Jennar,
you are European but served for communism because your privat interest. Such people like you exist every where in the Globe.
Khmer survirvor from Communist regime
Raoul Jennar continues his long history of being an apologist for the CPP.
This son-of-bitch is a wealthy man who is paid millions of dollars by Hun Sen.
Anyone else?
What about a few son-of-bitch blood suckers who are kowtowing Hun Sen's ass by sponsoring Hun Sen's cronies' sons and daughters in the state of Minnesota. For instance, the daughter of Chom Prasit, who attends Saint Thomas University (majoring International Business)has been constantly fucked by a few friends of mine without her family knowing about the incident. Need I divulge additional information about the sponsors and their whereabouts?
Stay tuned....

This guy is the devil's advocate.
He is careless of the suffering of humanity. Cold hearted.
You are absolutely right tha Mr. Raoul Jennar is very bad because he does not support your opposition party and also uncle or nationalist Mr. SAM Ransy. I strongly agreed guys.
Mother Fucker Raoul Jennar.
Go to TKR jail soon with Hun Sen.
Sho Ngun wanna to be (Lord in Japan cast system) X.O Kannharith seems living in his own fanatic empire.
Freedom of press in his imbecile mind is no larger than bottle that he lives in and out daily.
Belgian Raoul is no different to Chilean Aussie Julio.
All are there to make profits from Cambodians in one way or the other.
Hun Sen incites ghosts
The Phnom Penh Post
Thursday, 10 September 2009 15:02 Vong Sokheng
PRIME Minister Hun Sen launched an attack against his political opponents Wednesday, saying "ghosts" out for the Pchum Ben festival would come to threaten their lives.
"The ghost are around them and will take them along." Hun Sen told a few hundred supporters during the inauguration of a pagoda in the Kirivong district of Takeo province.
"[The opposition leaders] want to be the prime minister, but they have never had an opportunity, and it will be impossible," Hun Sen said. "They have had no ability to work, but they are accusing us of corruption."
Yim Sovann, spokeman for the Sam Rainsy Party, said the prime minister's remarks were part of a "political campaign" aimed at strengthening his power. Human Rights Party President Kem Sokha told the Post that he wasn't interested in reacting to the speech.
To AngkorainMan Krama Man & ah Measthes:
U R a Pro-CPPs, let me start by asking a question for u 2 to ransacking your neuronal for answer. Has you master Hun Sen stopped evicting Khmer Citizens living in CAMBODIA from their makeshifs/huts/homes in the name of public domain for the purpose of development?
A LITTLE KNOWLEDGE IS DANGEROUS! The WHOLE WORLD IS VERY CONSCIOUS ABOUT LIVING OR STRIVING TO BE SUSTAINABLE. I ask again, what does the CPP folks know about sustainability?
Illegal logging and clearing out the Rainforest in Cambodia isn't SMART to do. Building hydroelectric dams isn't a good idea 'cause the government isn't willing to take care of the citizens that are being displaced by infrastructures. Pumping sand into a lake isn't a SMART idea either, but I can't expect much from the CPP 'cause EDUCATION CREDENTIALS ARE VERY BOGUS.
A little knowledge is a DANGEROUS thing. What has the CPP been doing with DONORS' money that was supposed to improve the infrastructures of Khmer Society? I am talking about a Billion Dollar annually in the last 20 years given to CPP government.
Clean water, electricity, health, education, and et al ought to be improve by today's standard. But, I am there in Cambodia -- 1/1000th of 1% does get to the general public in Cambodia. The massive and chronic flooding ought to be solve by now if the government were to use the funding for the citizens. AND DON'T TELL ME THE CPPs ARE MAKING THE DIFFERENT FOR KHMER PEOPLE. IF SO WHICH KHMER: Khmer with $$$$$$$$$$, Khmer-Sok An, Khmer-Hok Lundy, Khmer-Hun Sen...
Boyz! I can go on describing what's wrong with the current Khmer government right now, enough to fill NYC phone book.
The Tourism Sector, especially the Siem Reab Province, the revenue generated are in the 300-600 million dollar annually. So much income generated, ironically Siem Reab Khmer people are very poor, neglected, abandoned, undereducated in DPI (dept. public instruction).
What progress can you tell the world that Hun Sen Regime actually or potentially advance Khmer Society into the 21st Century?
Pause. Contemplate my Rationale. KHMER PEOPLE DESERVED GOVERNMETNT THAT CAN MOVE THEM OUT OF KHMER ROUGE ERA, AND DESERVED TO LIVE WITHOUT FEAR OF PERSECUTION.
I thought that it could be Raoul who's behind the mafia in Cambodia, now it comes to real.
No judgment on Mr.Raoul Jenner.
Let the Almighty God judge him according to his acts.
Let blood turn on his head if he advices the evil doers to shade blood on God people.
Raoul Jennar's also secretely works for Vietnam behind Hun Sen.
Motherfucker ah OUL!
9:56 PM,
Talking about God, then you have to accept that everything has happened to us for reasons. May be Raoul and Hun Sen from venus and they were destined to be together? What did we do in our past history to others, or did God punish us and let us fall into our enemy's hands and then let the enemy saved us?
Raoul may see himself as a savior, a hero and without this kind of work he will die, because he is here to finish his works.
Raoul Jennar is another CPP advisor. This will 6th person on the list.
