PHNOM PENH — Cambodia's premier said Wednesday his government respected the landmark conviction of a former Khmer Rouge prison chief and would not interfere in the UN-backed war crimes court.
Kaing Guek Eav, better known as Duch, was sentenced to 30 years in jail last month for war crimes and crimes against humanity over his role in overseeing the mass murder of 15,000 men, women and children at the Tuol Sleng prison.
"The government respects the court's decision because the court is independent," Prime Minister Hun Sen said during a university graduation ceremony, in his first public reaction to the tribunal verdict.
"The government has no right to interfere or to put any pressure on the court."
Human rights campaigners have expressed concern that political interference could prevent further trials of leaders of the 1975-1979 regime, which killed up to two million people through starvation, overwork and executions.
Hun Sen, himself a mid-level Khmer Rouge cadre before turning against the movement, said last year he would "prefer for this court to fail" than see new cases opened against five more suspects, which he said would stoke civil war.
Duch, 67, was the first Khmer Rouge cadre to face an international tribunal.
He was initially handed 35 years but the court reduced the jail sentence on the grounds that he had been detained illegally for years before the UN-backed tribunal was established. His lawyer has said he plans to appeal.
Many survivors and relatives of victims were dismayed by the sentence, which also took into account the years Duch has served since his arrest in 1999, meaning that he could walk free in about 19 years.
Cambodia's Foreign Minister Hor Namhong said last week that he believed the punishment was "too light."

You are right Hoon Xen.
ReplyDeleteHun Sen ,you must have been drinking before making that speech . You have been saying that you wish the court will fail and all those international judges and prosecuters back up their belonging and go home . And how many times did you say , no more additional former Khmer Rouge will be trial ? You caracter don't fit as Prime Minister .
ReplyDeleteThe government did not interfere or put any presure on the court ? You must be kidding Hun Sen .
ReplyDeleteHun Xen is blind both physically and spiritually. A thief, even when being caught, still denies stealing. A fool like Hun Xen has no moral value for decent people to believe.
ReplyDeletei think even the prime minister is entitle to his opinion. opposition politicians often use it to attack the prime minister. i think the prime minister is trying to educate the and forms his own opinion because the court is independent and he just voice that we shouldn't interfere with the court's decision. that doesn't mean the court would listen to personal opinion; the court would probably go by the law, not someone's perosnal opinion, you know! now i wonder does everybody understand that judges don't form personal opinion, they ruled by using the law, you know!
ReplyDeleteaH! Kwack! Why you motherfucker heep doing that??????
ReplyDeleteDid it wrong, say it right, then do it wrong again and again,and again!
