To find out, why this ECCC so afraid of the four aging detainees speaking out, let me quote part of the following:

Quote: CHAPTER VII: INVESTIGATIONS

Article 24 new :

the right to interpretation, as necessary, into and from a language they speak and understand. End quote .

Some years ago we all might still remember ECCC refused to translate some parts of the Khmer documents which was related to case 002 ( Mr. Khieu Samphan ) from Khmer to French language for his French lawyer.

So ECCC did not comply with the ECCC law to translate language from and into as ECCC law above says clearly so this ECCC has been so afraid of the aging four detainees speaking out .

So CPP has tried and done every things to obsruct this ECCC.

So case 002 has been going on behind closed doors for so many years without releasing to public ( Khmer victims and their families ) .

So case 002 upcoming for public hearing will even more complicated and controversal in other word the Khmer victims and their families will not heard much during case 002 public hearing .

The main jobs of ECCC as follow:

1. Keep detaining the four aging detainees. ( so far over 3 years beyond detaining time without full public hearing )

2. No full public hearing ( afraid of the four speaking out )

3. Convict the four.

4. Lives sentences for the four.

5. ECCC close down , proclaim success , justice is done.

So ECCC and UN who signed agreement or contract with CPP has failed to fulfill their historic roles in this faked ECCC.

ECCC is 100% a failure.

Why do all Funcinpec Party leaders forget 1997 coup with over thousands and thousands Khmer murdered by Hun Sen?

Why do Prince Ranaridth and all Funcinpec party leaders are betray innocent Khmers blood from 1979-1993 and 1997 coup...etc Why?

They are show extremely clear that they are the leaders have no responsible for their action. These are extremely bad role model for young Khmers generation. They are weaker young Khmers generation spirit in fighting Vietnam invasion.

They are betray thousands and thousands innocent Khmers blood that they lead them to grave with injustice.

They are monsters from hell. They betray Khmers blood and they liar!

They are only work to make them rich by using innocent Khmers blood and liar to Khmer nation. If there is a true God please punish them for eternity in hell.

some were shot
Some died
Some wounded
Some left and abandoned the group
some were put into prison
some were eaten by the CPP
