18 May is the last day for the 15-day period the Khmer Rouge Tribunal (KRT) had set for its co-prosecutors – who are currently opposed to one another – to complete their gathering of proofs for the judges to evaluate whether Case 003 will continue or not.
Dim Sovannarom, spokesman for the KRT, told reporters this morning that it is not known yet as to whether the co-prosecutors will issue their statements in writing or verbally, either publicly or to the judges. However, the co-prosecutors must clearly state their position as to whether Case 003 will proceed forward or not.
Recently, Andrew Cayley, the International co-prosecutor, indicated in his statement the crimes involved in Case 003 and he also called on the victims to bring forth their lawsuits in this criminal case. Subsequently, Chea Leang, the Cambodian co-prosecutor [who is Xok An’s niece], rejected this plan, claiming that this case does not fall under the KRT jurisdiction. According to Chea Leang, the KRT jurisdiction can only handle top-ranking former KR leaders who bear the highest responsibility in the genocide.
However, researches have indicated that there are many more KR leaders who hold high responsibility, but currently, they are holding high position in the government, thus outside of any judgment.
Hun Xen used to issue public warnings, saying that he will not allow any additional cases against KR leaders other than the current 5 leaders (Khieu Samphan, Nuon Chea, Ieng Sary, Ieng Thirith and Kaing Kek Iev aka Duch). Hun Xen indicated that charges brought on additional KR leaders will bring political instability and unrest. Hun Xen’s warning is a threat when it is well known that the KR organization was destroyed since 1996 and since then, the Cambodian armed forces – both the civilian police force and the army – are in the hand of Hun Xen alone.

Mr. Andrew Cayley, you car not Cambodian and maybe not understand well about justice. Cambodian prosecutor is very educated and especially she was educated from Hanoi as her uncle. Thats why she doesn't see the important to trial more xkmer rougue leaders. However, I admire your work in trying to bring more skmer leaders to face trial.
She will say NO.
ME CHEA LEANG maybe A HUN XEN already A HEN fuck
How far can Cambodia’s Khmer Rouge tribunal go? As a Khmer I am sure that all Khmer victims and their family want the Khmer Rouge Tribunal go as far as the real justice is . The reality is that this Khmer Rouge Tribunals or ECCC can not go to even cases 003 and 004. Why? The answers is very clear that even they trial and let the ohters 4 Khmer Rouge 1. Noun Chea 2. Ieng Sary , Ieng Thirith and Khieu Samphan speak out they will be invoved so many other high ranking officials like CPP, Youn Hanoi, china , former Soviet Union and US . All Khmer wake up do not fall into CPP and Youn Hanoi dirty trick like this fake ECCC court and also about Preah Vihear Temple do not forget the East our Khmer border with Youn , youn have posting illegally 375 border posts along Khmer-Youn border compare Preah Vihear to the East we have lost land a lot to the East . Wake up all Khmer home and abroad before it is too late like Champa, Khmer Kampuchea-Krom and Lao all of these countries are the victims of Indochina Federation.
