The 3 amigos: Khieu Samphan, Ieng Sary and Ieng ThirithKong Sothanarith, VOA Khmer
Phnom Penh Friday, 30 April 2010
“The Pre-Trial Chamber decided unanimously to maintain the co-investigating judges’ order to extend provisional detention.”Khmer Rouge tribunal judges announced Friday they would not release three senior leaders currently in custody, but will hold them until their upcoming atrocity crimes trials.
The Pre-Trial Chamber’s decision maintained an order by investigating judges to hold in provisional detention former head of state Khieu Samphan, foreign minister Ieng Sary and social affairs minister Ieng Thirith.
Those three are being held, along with Khmer Rouge ideologue Nuon Chea, on charges of genocide and other atrocity crimes.
All four defendants are approaching the three-year limit on provisional detention, which will elapse in September for Nuon Chea and in November for the other three.
Friday’s decision follows separate hearings earlier this year over respective defense appeals against extended detention requests previously filed by investigating judges.
“The Pre-Trial Chamber decided unanimously to maintain the co-investigating judges’ order to extend provisional detention,” Prak Kim San, chief judge of the Pre-Trial Chamber, said in reading the unanimous decision for Ieng Sary, which was identical to the decisions for Khieu Samphan and Ieng Thirith.
Judges cited the seriousness of the crimes each defendant is charged with, along with risks of destroyed evidence and intimidated witnesses. Judges also said the defendants were a flight risk if released.
Ang Udom, a defense lawyer for Ieng Sary, called the decision “repetitive,” claiming judges had not weighed individual cases or circumstances. He has asked that Ieng Sary, who is in failing health, be allowed house arrest or undergo under hospital guard until the time of his trial.

HUN SEN'S REGIME MUST ACCOUNTABLE FOR ASSASSINATION OF CHEA VICHEA. SHAME! SHAME! THE GOVERNMENT CAN'T FIND A KILLER AT ALL BUT KEEP LETTING THE KILLER COMMITTED MORE CRIME AGAINST THE INNOCENT PEOPLES DAY TODAY BASIS. IN MY OPINION THE KILLER MUST BE ASSOCIATED WITH PM HUN SEN IF THEY CAN'T OR BE ABLE TO CATCH A KILLER.
Look at the ugly mugs of the 3 CRIMINALS. They deserve what they did.
Look at those three criminals. I thought they are not allowed to eye glasses.
They are against Angkar if they waer glasses. Therefore, they deserved to die.
someone khmer rouge victims should kill these 3 murders before they spread their evil ideology of hatress to the young khmer generation.
Los dos amigos y una amiga.
These three have already gotten the justic due them. Stop wasting money having them on trial. Use the money instead to help those needy Cambodians.
Starve them for one week, then hang them. End of the international tribunal charade.
Take them to Cheung Ek mass grave sites. Don't allow them food, but let them survive on whatever insect and worm they can find there. It would be an appropriate way to finish their days.
They don't appear so fierce as they once feared 30 odd years ago.
Time to get a rope out.
They should have been hanged way before Sadam H.
To my dear three comrads,
This is your former boss, Salot Sar a.k.a Pol Pot. By my calculation of your ages, you three will join me soon. I am writing to warn you to mend your ways or you will end up joining me in this place where the heat is unbearable.
The tormentors are more cruel than those we trained to work in Tuol Sleng. Their method of torment makes finger nail pulling feel like getting a massage.
Mend your ways or your will join me. I didn't believe it while I was alive, but there is such a thing as true justic.
Comrad,
Pol Pot

Yuons may kill Khmers too but 4 of you killed Khmers, I could drink your blood in front of you when you still alive.
You did nothing but destroyed millions of Khmer lives. If I could I would kill all of your children, all of your grand children of all of you.
