Vice-PM Tea Banh, the Cambodian minister of Defense, said that armed forces were the first groups that received human rights education, and these troops are under strict army law and rules.
Tea Banh explained that, regarding photos showing armed soldiers using force to repress unarmed civilians, these actions were taken by order from the court only and it was not the soldiers’ choice.
Tea Banh gave his answers to RFA and VOA Khmer services on Tuesday morning, following his meeting with US Secretary of Defense Robert Gates and James Steinberg, the US Deputy Secretary of State.
Tea Banh said: “Armed forces, whether they are soldiers, police officers or military police officers, we consider them as tools for the application of the law. Therefore, there are cases, there are times when the court verdicts must be applied, and to apply these verdicts efficiently, we cannot find any force other that relying on the armed forces to apply these verdicts. Therefore, it is certain that, in land dispute cases, when the court tells you to get out, you must get out, but when you don’t get out, the court must use its tools, i.e. the armed forced, to evict you out.”
On 18 September, 8 US representatives sent a list of questions to the US Secretary of Defense, asking him to reply to them to confirm that US military aid to Cambodia does not fall into the hands of Cambodian soldiers who have violated the Cambodian people’s human rights.

ReplyDeleteI think the one who is chhuot is you yourself, and your chhuot cannot be cured by medical means. It can be cured by means of using a baseball bat to stirke your head three times but count as once.
FRA's problem is the internal one which won't do any harm to Khmer people and the country.
For the decent and freedom-loving people to show their gratitude to Hun Sen is impossible. Of course we want to thank him, but we refrain from doing so for the clear reason that Hun Sen has done everthing for himself, his families, his clique, and his Yuon boss for invading Cambodia, installing him in power and protecting him until both parties can completley fulfill their plan which is not for the interest of the nation and her people but for his own and the Yuons.
Banh Tea can be calling Shoot Duck.
ReplyDeleteBanh Tea shoot the duck but hurts the human being.
The killing field was ordered by Angka? Who was Angka and leader this Angka? Pol Pot, No because he gave an interview what ho acted by order from Angka. OK, alI mistakes took place at that time pushed to dead man, Pol Pot. I hate Angka.
ReplyDeleteNow, we hear one gain, not Angka but the COURT. By ANGKA, Cambodia = 2 milliones die. What is with the COURT now? Who is the court really and who lead the court? How many Cambodian will be punish by such court? In fact, Dollars and powerfull person stand behind this court, I say that because I have some best friends working in the court who told me like this.
Khmer son
yeah, who was angka? Now, who is the court? The court is controlled by especially sok an, hun sen, and hor nam hong. When those three are removed. The court will have true justice and judicial system.
ReplyDeleteto 12:39 AM,
ReplyDeleteThat is right? Hummmmmmm .......
Why those have powerfull? and what is the background? <--- Viet ?
YOUN Created Angkar.
ReplyDeleteYOUN created the mass killing.
This is making sense because when Pol Pot disposed by the YOUN, YOUN created K-5 and conscripted or enlisted so many many that they sent to be the shield against Pol Pot armies. YOUN used Khmer killing Khmer from one form to another. They created K-5 and Khmer faces to many obstacles such as, stepping on land mines, fever, starvation and political reason.
YOUN killing Khmers!!!!!!!
to all khmers around the world...i used 2say that as long as viets still control kampuchea krom, cambodia state will not be a save place. and in the future, all khmers could be slave of yuon including ah kwack's family.
ReplyDeleteOH, NO...MAYBE I AM WRONG, ALL HUN SEN FAMILIES' HEADS COULD BE DOWN, INCLUDING WHOEVER WORK FOR YUON, AFTER YUON'S PLAN COMPLETED IN CAMBODIA, JUST LIKE YUON DID TO PU-CHHUOL-KONG IN 1800s
please all khmers stand up and push ah youn back where they came from...hanoi!
