Human Rights and the Rule of Law in Cambodia
1-3 p.m.
Thursday, September 10
Location TBD
On July 29, The Washington Post reported “a heightened crackdown on journalists and opposition activists…has provoked new concern that the government [of Cambodia] is engaging in widespread abuse of the nation’s legal system to muzzle its detractors.” On August 4, the Phnom Penh Municipal Court found opposition parliamentarian Mu Sochua guilty of defaming Prime Minister Hun Sen.
According to the 2008 State Department Human Rights report, current labor law in Cambodia provides only private-sector workers the right to join a trade union without prior authorization, but the government’s enforcement of the law has been selective. Additionally, despite the 2001 law requiring land titling for communal lands of indigenous peoples, little was done to implement this law and there have been several reported incidences of indigenous peoples being forced to leave their land without compensation. These issues are part of a concerning trend in the Cambodian government’s overall human rights record.
To discuss these issues, we will welcome as our witnesses:***
Panel I
If you have any questions, please contact Elizabeth Hoffman (Rep. Wolf) or Hans Hogrefe (Rep. McGovern) at 202-225-3599.

ReplyDeleteIf only they can understand what ah Kwack said inpublic brodcasting in Khmer!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThe whole systemis fucking Up!
The government of Cambodia has oppressed and chased the journalists, and the opposition activists since day one ah Hun Sen got in power.
ReplyDeleteHey, 5:11PM,
ReplyDeleteYou're just a little kid learning to talk, fool. Your King and Pol Pot belong to the same group together with Khiev Samphan, Ieng Sary, Ieng Thirith, Khiev Ponnary, etc. They committed the same crimes. All of them colaborated with one another in carrying the massacre of their own people. You are the one should be kicked out from this for a while so you can go back to elementary school.
correction: from this blog
ReplyDeleteIt is good to be a king. You get pamper left to right with beautiful women. Just kidding people.
ReplyDelete5;11 PM,
ReplyDeleteI spent for almost 5 minutes to chek my dictionaries for some beautiful words you used in your silly comment. Where the hell can you find them, kid?
DON'T EVER LET YOUN SHUT UP THE PARIS PEACE ACCORD OF 1991
ReplyDeleteMy dear 5:11PM,
ReplyDeleteI really feel sorry for you. Not only your command of the English language sucks, your thinking screws up even more.
You forget that your "above all" king is the one that got Cambodia into this big mess to begin with. He proclaimed that Cambodia is neutral, yet he supported the Viet Cong who fought the war against the US and South VN. After he was deposed, he then claimed to be the leader of the "Liberation Front". He was so stupid to think that the KR will restore his power after their victory. Why did he think about the KR ideology? Without him, the KR would have no chance of victory.
After the 1993 general election, he was the one who managed to screw up royally again. Hun Sen lost the election, and thanks to Sihanouk, he became a co-PM. Now for 16 years our poor Khmers are beeing abused by the CPP that your king thinks it's the second Sangkum Reas Niym.
Need I say more about your great king?
Have a nice day!
thank you god for drilling cambodia for justice of its people. we would like to see gov't there take good care of our khmer people there and everywhere, too. god bless cambodia
ReplyDeletecambodian people deserve better. thank you, god.
ReplyDeleteTo invite Mu Sochua is ok and Moeurng Tola is a bit known but to invite Punh Chiv Kek is wast money because this laidy use the name of president human right but kiss Hun Sen's ass.
ReplyDeletePunh Chiv Kek is a leader of corruption in civil society, LICADO is a family's organization in Cambodia, her daughter Nali who is executive director of LICADO is smok vi and ophien. She like dating and drunk all most every night at Black Heart Bar in Phnom Penh.
People work at LICADO have to follow Punh Chiv Kek and his daughter and if so they will be terminated. This organization is full corrupt both money corruption and mind corruption.
So the US congress is wasted to invite this kind person. On Radio show in Phnom Penh, Punh Chiv Kek never dare to criticize Hun Sen and his government because her families gets benefit from Hun Sen since 1987 to now. Hun Sen went to french was sleeping at her house and got drinking wine with Sihanouk. This were reason why Punh Peng Cheng's falimies still work to get benefit from Hun Sen and Sihanouk, and to favor government puppet of youn hanio.
wake up, people, be smart about everything! there's more to cambodia than you and i really! think about it!
ReplyDeleteGuys, to have a better grasp of the situaion the U.S. government would have to hear it from both sides. To have one side bitching all the times without contradictions can be seriously flawed. This is an incredible events for the Khmers people and we should be thankful for this opportunity to be heard. Mu Socha will bring it home, you will see.

Tom Lantos should invite all the NGO from Cambodia if the congress want to know more on the situation about social lives of people. Furtheremore, don't forget to pledge more monies for the poor people after they receive the information.

ReplyDeleteNew Phally , go back to your job ( washing dishes ) and go to school to improve your english when you have time .
ReplyDelete1:16 AM,
ReplyDeleteAre you preaching?
12:52 AM .
ReplyDeleteIt's not a court room .The United States is not going to render a judgement on what's going on in Cambodia right now, that's why they only need to hear it from the NGO representatives because NGO are independant organizations and Mu Sockua is a cambodian women representative that's why she is invited .
1:16 AM is practicing his English , please don't mind him.1:16 AM ,you still got a few words that need to be corrected . your words, try to invasions, correct words, tried to invade . your words, many cetury, correct words . many centuries . your words, many life , correct words, many lives.

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."

funny how they are now crying for a chance to be heard, and some shameless ones here said better be from both sides, but these idiots so soon forgot how the damned, stupid, incompetent judges, behind the public, who intimidated Mu's lawyer into submission, had the audacity to grant the kangaroo-court style "justice" by indicting her of defamation.
