Theary Seng's Clarification on the France 24 Phone Interview

Friday, July 30, 2010
By Theary C. Seng

Regarding the telephone interview I gave yesterday (July 28) with France 24, I would like to make the following clarifications:

1. I am the founder of the Center for Justice & Reconciliation and founding president of CIVICUS: Center for Cambodian Civic Education, no longer of the Center for Social Development since the politically-motivated injunction order removing me in July 2009.

2. There is real fear that Duch, not a "senior" Khmer Rouge leader, will be made the sole scapegoat of the murderous, genocidal KR regime; we know this current Cambodian government never wanted this Tribunal and certainly not the Case 002 involving the senior KR leaders to move forward.

3. The ECCC is the lowest common denominator of a political compromise.

We need to bear in mind, despite our faith in the UN to assist in raising the standard of international justice, both parties (Cambodian Government and UN) have an agenda; the Cambodian government to whitewash its Khmer Rouge connection and the UN to hail anything a quick victory (even if dismal) and depart quickly before the ramifications set in (think UNTAC). At the end of the day, we the Cambodian people must take ownership of the process or else we will be disappointed in our naive reliance.

Hence I have two theories viewed through the lens of political interference:

(i) The dramatic, public sacking of Duch UN lawyer Francois Roux at the eleventh hour is to irreversibly discredit Duch as a star witness in Case 002 involving the senior KR leaders, the heart of the Tribunal. Duch has been consistent in implicating the senior KR leaders. What is the best way to discredit a star witness but by attacking his credibility. Before Duch's changing of position and sacking of his lawyer, it was an open question whether Duch has rehabilitated and genuine in his remorse and confession; the switch and the sacking erased any credibility for many regarding Duch's reformed character and will cast an even darker shadow on anything he will have to say in Case 002.

(ii) Because this Tribunal has been so contextualized by political interests and regularly punctured with overt invidious political interference, it is difficult for me not to be a bit cynical to think that the incomprehensibly lenient sentence has the hand of politics behind it to create this cynicism that is unfortunately surfacing.

BUT, BUT... we need to think of the larger picture which is the demand of Case 002. Without the start and completion of Case 002, this Tribunal will be considered a failure - a waste of everyone's time, energy, resources in the millions and worst the embedding of irreversible cynicism in a society already so fractured by distrust and fear. We CANNOT, CANNOT let this happen. We have to move on from our anger and disappointment and channel that energy toward advocating, demanding for the quick start of Case 002, the heart of this Tribunal.

Strongly agreed, case 002 must be started and ended at the earliest possible. The case 002 is considered much more important than case 001.

Gosh Theary, please communicate normally to the readers.

We already know you are a U.S. trained and certified lawyer. I have a good friend who is a trained atorney just like you plus a Phd. in another field. He earned two Phds. but does not talk like you.

Your readers are just average people like myself.

The place where criminals lies the most is inside the court room in front of the judge(s).

fighting for justice is among many things this octopus woman had claimed to do. but it isobviously clear that she has failed on what she was trying so hard to sell. duch got a miserly 19 year sentence to aweful crime. now she is street vending a forgiveness business and at the same time all of a sudden sprinkles christianity with sugar. also she labels Cambodian people as blind and in capable of forgiving. how blind and deaf she is! people, don't a creature multiple tanticles.

I am a Cambodian American who lives in America. This Khmer Rouge Trial is nothing but a joke and a slap on the wrist. The many lives that have been taken under Khmer Rouge is not and will not be taken lightly, because we are talking about close to millions lives that were perished under this evil regime. To say that Duch was the only man that is responsible for this atrocity...I say FUCK YOU United Nation and FUCK YOU those who were involved with Khmer Rouge and presently working for Khmer Government. I wish I would never be borned again as Khmer, because this FUCKING RACE, although might not be all of them, but some of them, are nothing but a FUCKING, BLOOD SUCKING PARACITES. THIS FUCKING KHMER RACE, IF YOU LOOK INTO THE KHMER HISTORY WITHIN ITS CHRONOLOGY KEPT HIDDEN IN FRANCE, YOU WILL SEE THAT THEY HAVE KILLED EACH OTHER, EVEN THEIR OWN BROTHERS, SISTERS AND FATHER. THIS FUCKING COUNTRY KNOWN AS KHMER HAS NEVER BEEN IN PEACE SINCE THE THIRD CENTURY. THERE ARE MORE TO BE SAID, BUT ENOUGH IS ENOUGH AS FROM THIS KHMER ROUGE TRIAL. THEY DONT KNOW ANYTHING, THEY HAVE NO PLAN OF BRINGING ANYONE WHO WERE THE REAL POLICY MAKERS DURING THE KHMER ROUGH TO TRIAL. THE CHINESE, THE UNITED STATES, THE THAI,THE RUSSIA, THE VIETNAMESE, AND ABOVE ALL THE FUCKING ILITERATE LEADERS OF KAMPUCHEA. ENOUGH HAVE BEEN SAID. FUCK YOU, YOU PIECE OF SHIT. WHEN KHMER ROUGE TOOK POWER IN KAMPUCHEA I WAS ONLY 10 YEARS OLD, IT WAS THE PRECIOUS TIME OF MY LIFE, WHEN EDUCATION IS MY PRIME YEARS AND YOU FUCKING SO-CALLED LEADERS OF KAMPUCHEA HAVE DESTROYED JUST THAT. AND I HAVE TO SUFFER UNDER THIS EVIL REGIME THAT BROUGHT BY YOUR ILL INTENTIONS FOR ALL KHMERS. FOR THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN IN THE GOVERNMENT DURING THAT TIME, FUCK YOU AND YOUR FAMILY, BECAUSE YOU ARE APART OF THAT FUCKING SYSTEM THAT HELPED BROUGHT DESTRUCTION THIS FUCKING COUNTRY. AND FOR THOSE COWARDS WHO HAVE ESCAPED TO LIVE IN FRANCE, ENGLAND, UNITED STATES, OR ANYWHERE ELSE FOR THAT MATTER...MAY YOU BURN IN HELL AND I WISH YOU AND YOUR FAMILY WILL SERVERELY PUNICHED IN HELL FOR 1000
YEARS IN DARKNESS BEFORE YOU ARE ALLOWED TO BE REINCARNATE AS HUMAN AGAIN. WE DONT HAVE TO WISH WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO CAMBODIA, KAMPUCHEA OR KHMER, THIS LAND WILL BE BROUGHT UNDER THE NEW FEDERATION AS WE SPEAK. IN THE NEXT 50 YEARS THERE WOULD ONLY BE CHINA, INDOCHINA FEDERATION UNION AND THAILAND. YOU CAN FORGET ABOUT VIETNAM, LAOS OR CAMBODIA. EVERY FUCKING POLICIES WILL BE MADE IN HANOI AND DISSIMINATED INTO LAOS AND CAMBODIA. THIS REALIZATION IS HEADING THERE AS WE SPEAK. IT IS GOOD THAT THIS FUCKING KAMPUCHEA IS UNDER THE NEW LEADERSHIP OF VIETNAM. DONT BLAME THEM...BLAME YOUR FUCKING GREEDY BASTARDS FOR POWER WHICH BLINDED YOU AND CLOUDED YOUR JUDGEMENT TO DO ANYTHING THAT WOULD HELP SHAPE KAMPUCHEA INTO ANY MODERN ERA. VIETNAMESE CHILDREN ARE BEING BORNED INTO KHMERS AS WE SPEAK. THEY LEARN OUR LANGUAGE, SPEAK THE MOTHER TONGUE, FUCK OUR WOMEN, AND SOON, THERE IS NO MORE KHMER. IT WOULD JUST BE SINO-KHMER. YOU DESERVE EVERY BIT OF IT YOU FUCKING PIECE OF SHIT. YOUR DAYS ARE COUNTING.
