Phnom Penh Wednesday, 02 February 2011
"... investigation was conducted and a report has been written, but completion is awaiting approval by Minister of Interior Sar Kheng."
National Assembly President Heng Samrin has forwarded a request to the Ministry of Interior calling for a report on the unusual release of a jailed former provincial police chief in Ratanakkiri province last month.

The former chief of that province, Yoeung Baloung, who was supposed to be serving an 13-year sentence on charges related to corruption and illegal logging, was let out by the provincial prison chief and was then involved in a traffic incident that injured three people.

In a letter to the Ministry of Interior dated Tuesday, Heng Samrin requested that the ministry report to the National Assembly the reason’s behind Yoeung Baloung’s release.


Kuy Bunsorn, the newly appointed director of prisons at the ministry, said Wednesday an investigation was conducted and a report has been written, but completion is awaiting approval by Minister of Interior Sar Kheng.

Ratanakkiri prison director Ngin Nhel has said he authorized the release for medical reasons. Yoeung Baloung is now back in the prison, officials say.

If you listen to the explanations made by the Director of Rattanak Kiri Prison and by Ly Mau, General Director of Prisons in PPenh, It's realy laughable!

You all won't have such favor as Balung does. You must be on the same " line of partisanship",like Balung.

Actually, the prisoner in question requested the Director to let him out for driving lesson. He was learning how to drive at the day of accident. he desperately needs a license to drive in the Prison.
