Original report from Washington
22 March 2010
Opposition leader Sam Rainsy has sent an open letter to Foreign Minister Hor Namhong calling for his cooperation in the Khmer Rouge tribunal and to describe his role at a Phnom Penh camp run by the regime.
The March 18 letter questions Hor Namhong’s role in supervising the Boeung Trabek camp in 1978. It asks why he was given the responsibility and trust of the Khmer Rouge at a time when mass killings by the regime were well underway.
The letter was released as a French court prepares to hear Sam Rainsy’s appeal of a defamation case brought by Hor Namhong, on March 25.
It goes on to ask whether Hor Namhong’s “extraordinary zeal” or his “evil” and “sadism” against other prisoners led him to serve the Khmer Rouge.
Hor Namhong declined through a spokesman to comment on the letter, but he has said in the past he was a prisoner at the camp forced into a supervisory role.
Sam Rainsy said he wants Hor Namhong to give evidence to the UN-backed tribunal to shed light on his role and “remove serious suspicions” about the foreign minister’s past.
In October 2009, the tribunal called Hor Namhong and five other government officials to testify in its second case, against five leaders currently in detention. None has so far appeared before the court.
A spokesman for Hor Namhong said he has not responded to the summons because of his busy schedule.
The letter contains new information about the Khmer Rouge submitted to a French court, which is scheduled to hear a lawsuit brought by Hor Namhong against Sam Rainsy for remarks in the opposition leader’s autobiography, alleging that Hor Namhong colluded with the Khmer Rouge at Boeung Trabek, where several inmates died.
“The purpose [of the letter] is to reveal new information that we have received concerning the Khmer Rouge regime, concerning some of our current leaders who were involved with and served the Khmer Rouge during Pol Pot’s time,” Sam Rainsy told VOA Khmer by phone from Paris.
Sam Rainsy said Hor Namhong will have to address the evidence when the French court begins its hearing.

HE'S ONE OF THE EVIL WHO KNOWS. HE MUST SHOW UP IN COURT IF HE FAIL TO APPEARS THAT MEAN HE'S GUILTY AS HELL AND NO QUESTION ABOUT IT.
Khmer rouge HOR 5 Hong tell ECCC the truth,
Mouk ah nis Hanoï soth !
Ah H1n1 doesn't think khmer !
1:52 AM
Mouk ah nis Hanoï soth !
How about Hun Xen and the corrupted cpp people expelled their donor's aids instead of their voice against all those scumpbags ( cpp official ) and their dirty trick. So that way they don't look down on our dirty regime to much (Hun Xen ).
Hor 5 Hong and duch are all yuon creatures, working for youn empire of horrors and genocide, had equal role and responsibility in leading killing against khmer to free land and resources for yuons, why then only duch is judged and not hor nam hong? Does Hor 5 Hong is much yuon than duch or something else?
CONFIDENTIAL PROFILE PROHIBIT!
Sure ah Hor,
...and Hitler was a prisoner of the Nazi and forced to rule the Third Reich.
correction: reign
He is a minister for so many regimes,long serving to the country means that he is able to clarify to ECCC and cambodians.
As ctizen,he is obligated to give evidence to the court,and he is compelled to do so as minister.
Not any excuse to avoid that.
Obviously,he is not diplomatic as he is intended to be.
Kaun Khmer
Some day, certain figures serving this regime will say exactly the same thing about being "forced" to sign dubious border treaties and land concessions to Vietnam and tycoon-senators, leaving Khmer people destitute and landless in their own country. This may seem trite to some, but the underlying injustice and suffering are too great not to be highlighted and addressed.
People everywhere in Cambodia, led by politicians, NGOs, rights groups etc. should organise a street demonstration in support of the victims and in protest against this on-going travesty.
It is unlikely that the Khmer Rouge, with their rapacious zeal and paranoia would have trusted one of their prisoners sufficiently to work for them, particularly, someone with Mr. NamHong's bourgeois background and appearance in such a sensitive role within their top security apparatus - unless, of course, he possessed solid KR party pedigree, and in this specific case, matched their thirst for brutality and blind loyalty in some way - as he is displaying now towards his current bosses in Phnom Penh and Hanoi.
The world can now see why it took decades to get the KR trail underway, and a year to try 'Duch' alone. I am inclined towards the practical desire for peace and reconciliation among all Khmers. However, individuals with Mr. NamHong's 'alleged' implicit involvement in the management and direction of that regime's inhumane practices, should not be facilitated to escape due legal process of justice.
By threatening 'civil war' and turmoil in a land where they are in complete command of all the institutional balances of force, lest they be summoned to appear in court, these men have placed themselves well above the reaches of justice and its due processes.
How much confort can the average citizen draw from this blatantly nassasistic refusal of men, with seemingly no human conscience, who otherwise claim to be in power by way of democratic will and regular elections? Where will ordinary citizens run to when armed soldiers and bulldozers come for their lands and communities - except holding portraits of the very people who directly inspire their despair and fuel their pain for charmed protection?
According to internal party documents of the CPP, Democratic Kampuchea was a morally confusing place where good people also killed. This and similiar after thoughts may still be invoked to justify the crimes committed against the Khmer people today, and it is no exaggeration to add that they are of no solace to people at the wrong end of these deeds.
MP
Come on, we know that the Cambodian People's Party is just an updated name for the Kampuchean People's Revolutionary Party and all of them were former Eastern Zone Khmer Rouge cadres and ministers that fled to Vietnam.
The CPP leadership has been guilty of crimes against humanity from the very beginning. Just ask yourself, how many people did ah Hun Sen kill with an AK-47 or a machete knife? MANY!!!! All of them will be on trial in 15-20 years. Believe it or not, the CPP aren't going to last that long.
I also believes that the CPP not gonna last that long too!
Look at the nazi german, to this day they are still being hunt down by isreali mercenary.
To ECCC,
We, the cambodian's Khmer Rouge victims are urging to ECCC to arrest Former Khmer Leaders as the following names:
Norodom Sihanouk, Norodom Monique, Hun Sen, Chea Sim, Heng Samrin, Hor 5 Hong, Keat Chhon, Sim Kar, Ouk Bun Chhoeun, Sok Anh, Sar Kheng, Pol Saroeun, Tea Banh, Nhek Bun Chhay, Kong Sam Ol,Nguon Nhel, Say Bou Thorng , Men Sam An, Khieu Sopheak, Kong Korm etc...
Ah whore Nam Plar Hong shit euy! min deal mean Khmer Kror Horm na jailed ah eang heuy bea tao jea ouy tao jea supervisor te. ah pouth por kro hork. Ah eang neung heuy jea killer mouy dea. Ah ro leay! die die die...jea mouy ah kwak tao ah roleay!
How can you gained KR trust Mr HOr!
In the very cruel place like prison,no good man can live not to mention that you were ex- minister.
Come on!Hor, tell ECCC and cambodian that you are a noble man.
X KR
SR is a true khmer who wants to find justice for the people unlike ah thomeko who his parent died in Beng Trabek jail during khmer rouge but he never dare to find justice for his parent. Ah pouch sdech kamsak. His good at serving Hun Sen.
Most prisoners force to their death.
What make Hor 5 Hong special and got promoted to supervisor.
And being a supervisor did he perfrom his duties to promoting those prisioner to their deaths?
"A spokesman for Hor Namhong said he has not responded to the summons because of his busy schedule."
The CPP think Kherrouge court is a joke! and so be it! Go home UN, don't miss leading people!
