They ordered us to do it, we have no choice: Tea Banh on RCAF human rights violations

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.

Hun Sen is one-eye blind and you are not. You should see this picture better. The picture clearly showed that those houses were purposely set on fire. The flame did not spread from one house to another.

I 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.

Now, 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.

YOUN Created Angkar.
YOUN 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!!!!!!!

Tea Banh's speech makes it look like Cambodia is a democratic country. Per him, everything is done, including forced eviction by soldiers, police were done by courts ordered. In reality, courts, which is CPP owned, are just tools used by the CPP to enrich themselve only.

To AH New Phally

Only stupid peoples like you think that the CPP win election by 2/3.  When you cheated, you do not win.  Do you understand?  If you don't, what you can do is, go and ask your children.  They would tell you right or wrong.

Intimidations
Threatening
Steal Votes
Bring Foreigners from Veitnam to vote in Cambodia for Cambodian People's Party.
Use Dead people's names to vote for Cambodian People's Party.
Disqualified potential Sam Rainsy Party's voters.

International Observers declared that the Cambodian election doesn't meet international standard.

AH New Phally, when are you going to stop acting stupid?

You are making the CPP look bad.

Why the CPP's supporters are so stupid?

Can someone answer this question?

Perhaps, AH New Phally can answer this question.

This is what happened when the animal is cornered. It's feared and frighten. Tea Ban is now enemy of the states...Angka. He will shared a room with Heng Pov and fifty other convict. The only way to save his ass is to provide the US with his testimony. In return, we will grant him a political asylum.
I'm willing to bet that his testimony is consisting with those of Heng Pov.
