Press Release
Action against Impunity at the ECCC
On 9 May 2011, Co-Lawyers for Civil Parties filed two Civil Party Applications to the Victims Support Section for clients who suffered harm connected with the work site, Kampong Chhnang Airport in relation to Case 003.
Both continue to suffer mental harm today because of the forced labour and other crimes that they or their family endured at this crime site.
According to the Closing Order in Case 002 ‘the construction of the Kampong Chhnang Airport was under the control of Centre Division 502. This Division was created shortly after 17 April 1975, merging personnel from pre-existing units. Like the other Centre Divisions, it reported directly to the General Staff and its Chairman Son Sen. Division 502 was notably in charge of the RAK air force and responsible for all airports in Cambodia. The Secretary of the Committee of Division 502 was (NAME BLACKED OUT) who visited Kampong Chhnang Airport Construction Site on a regular basis’.
We have sufficient reasons to believe that this crime site is under the scope of the investigations in Case 003 despite the fact that the Co-Investigating Judges failed to inform the public and in particular, victims and potential civil parties, about the scope of investigations in Cases 003 and 004.
In Case 003, the failure to inform victims about the scope of investigations amounts to a deprivation of their participation rights. Access to the Case file has not yet been granted by the Co-Investigating Judges to the Co-Lawyers of Civil Party Applicant Robert Hamill. Without access to the case file, applicants are prevented from taking any meaningful actions as per their rights under the Internal Rules, such as filing investigative requests. It is becoming clear that Cases 003 (and 004) are cases in which impunity will likely prevail for those who are “most responsible”, within the jurisdiction of the court. The interference of the Royal Government of Cambodia (RGC) through the public opposition to more than five accused persons is blatant and clearly having its effect on the court’s operations. It is also disconcerting that the international community and the United Nations remains silent and have not taken appropriate actions.
Even though the International Co-Prosecutor has today, announced the scope of the investigations in Case 003, this does not exempt the OCIJ of its duties to inform the public.
Despite the very real fear our clients have of the suspects and the RGC, they have courageously submitted their applications to the court, filed as strictly confidential. They seek justice and want Cases 003 (and 004) properly investigated.

Khmer Rouge trials are wasting money and times for nothing good to help Khmer people currently suffering, dying and loss of land the Vietnamese expansion.
Case 0003 is for HUN SEN only.
To 5:07 AM, I agree with you 100 %.
Khmer Rouge trials are wasting money and times for nothing good to help Khmer people currently suffering, dying and loss of land the Vietnamese expansion.
Case 0003 is for HUN SEN only.
All Khmer victims and the families between 1975-179 and Cambodian as a whole.
How can you expect any justice from this ECCC under Hun Sen regime who deeply related to Indochina Communist Party formed by late Ho Chi Minh in 1930.
The real Angkar between 1975-1979 or Khmer Rouge consisted of 2 differences as fellow:
1. A group of Paris students .
2. A group of Khmer Viet Minh:
Angkar between 1975-1979 as fellow:
1. Pol Pot. ( a Paris student ).
2. Nuon Chea. ( former Thai Communist Party but in a Paris student groups ).
3. Ieng Sary. ( a Paris student , Khmer Kampuche-Krom ).
4. So Phim. ( Khmer Viet Minh ).
5. Son Sen ( a Paris student , Khmer Kampuchea-Krom ).
6. Ta Mok ( Ta Mok din not study in France but he was in a Paris student group ).
Note: 1. If you have a quick look you will see a group of Paris students more than Khmer Viet Mihn but the reality was Khmer Viet Minh had more troops ( Khmer Viet Minh troops like Heng Samrin , Chea ect… . than Pol Pot troops .
3. Khieu Samphan, Sihanouk ( personally I don’t like Sihanouk ) Hu Nim , Hou Yuon they are not Angkar ( Real Angkar coul make hightest decision between 1975-1979 ) these four fellows are norminal leaders ( only in name ) even Ieng Thirith was not Ankar but her husband Ieng Sary is.
So if you look at Khmer Rouge Trial or ECCC those being detained without trial ( except Duch ) are a group of Paris students and 3 out of 5 are not Angkar 1. Khieu Samphan, 2. Ieng Thirith, 3 Duch.
So one of many reasons why this fake ECCC try to trial 2 Angkar 1. Nuon Chea 2. Ieng Sary ( 2 of Paris students groups ) and let the real killer like Khmer Viet Minh like Heng Samrin , Chea Sim and many more escape from the justice.
So cases 003 and 004 will never happen under Hun Sen puppet regime.
We dont want to talk about Money...because we have already.We want to talk about Justice or Fair for real Khmer innocents People under name:KHMER NEIK THMEI.[Neak dap pram pee Meisa].
-so we need to reminded to U.S Govt about the Dead Of Khmer lon nol Officials Govt under u.s.a cover.
THANKS

Koh Tral Island must not be forgotten
By Ms. Rattana Keo
Why do Koh Tral Island, known in Vietnam as Phu Quoc, a sea and land area covering proximately over 30,000 km2 [Note: the actual land size of Koh Tral itself is 574 square kilometres (222 sq miles)] have been lost to Vietnam by whose treaty? Why don’t Cambodia government be transparent and explain to Cambodia army at front line and the whole nation about this? Why don't they include this into education system? Why?
Cambodian armies are fighting at front line for 4.6 km2 on the Thai border and what's about over 30,000km2 of Cambodia to Vietnam. Nobody dare to talk about it! Why? Cambodian armies you are decide the fate of your nation, Cambodian army as well as Cambodian people must rethink about this again and again. Is it fair?
Koh Tral Island, the sea and land area of over 30,000 square kilometres have been lost to Vietnam by the 1979 to 1985 treaties. The Cambodian army at front line as well as all Cambodian people must rethink again about these issues. Are Cambodian army fighting to protect the Cambodia Nation or protecting a very small group that own big lands, big properties or only protecting a small group but disguising as protecting the Khmer nation?
The Cambodian army at front lines suffer under rain, wind, bullets, bombs, lack of foods, lack of nutrition and their families have no health care assistance, no securities after they died but a very small group eat well, sleep well, sleep in first class hotel with air conditioning system with message from young girls, have first class medical care from oversea medical treatments, they are billionaires, millionaires who sell out the country to be rich and make the Cambodian people suffer every day.
Who signed the treaty 1979-1985 that resulted in the loss over 30,000 km2 of Cambodia??? Why they are not being transparent and brave enough to inform all Cambodians and Cambodian army at front line about these issues? Why don't they include Koh Tral (Koh Tral size is bigger than the whole Phom Phen and bigger than Singapore [Note: Singapore's present land size is 704 km2 (271.8 sq mi)]) with heap of great natural resources, in the Cambodian education system?
Look at Hun Sen's families, relatives and friends- they are billionaires, millionaires. Where did they get the money from when we all just got out of war with empty hands [in 1979]? Hun Sen always say in his speeches that Cambodia had just risen up from the ashes of war, just got up from Year Zero with empty hands and how come they are billionaires, millionaires but 90% of innocent Cambodian people are so poor and struggling with their livelihood every day?
Koh Tral was a Cambodian island, and technically and legally, remained a Cambodian island until today.
Smart Khmer girl Ms. Rattana Keo,
old wife rattana keo is a bitch who love to make love to her boyfriends when her younger husband at work. Her mother in law does the same thing as ms rattana keo too. They are making love to their boyfriends when their husbands at work.......threesome families
The new policy of Hun Sen regime today is to kill all Ex Khmer Rouge because they are the true Khmer patriot that can be harmful to Hun Sen regime as Vietnam slave.
Hun Sen regime sends all Ex Khmer rouge soldiers to frontline fighting with Thai army without enough weapons and foods. Hun Sen ordered the front line army do not fire back to Thai Army while they bomb Ex Khmer Rouge over 50 000 shells. These actions are representing very clear that Hun Sen is trying to clear or kill all Ex Khmer Rouge army by using Thai hands.
The true and real Khmer patriots are the enemy of Hun Sen regime. Vietnam is scare of Ex Khmer Rouge Soldiers as they have been defeat Vietnam army (Over 10 000 Vietnam soldiers have been killed by EX Khmer Rouge Army in Cambodia. That is lead to Vietnam withdraw out of Cambodia) before 1993.

Good ! Get American lawyer then get Thai and former DR.Kissinger in the court, too
"Second, the mandate of the ECCC has been much politicized and is limited to trying the atrocities committed during the Khmer Rouge period of April 1975 to January 1979.
In his interview with the Phnom Penh Post, Noam Chomsky, emeritus professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, pointed out that “the leading US political establishment like Henry Kissinger, a member of the late president Richard Nixon’s administration…should also be held accountable for creating the conditions that paved the way for the rise of the [Khmer Rouge]”.
While acknowledging the mass atrocities committed by the Khmer Rouge regime, we should never forget the level of atrocities committed during the US secretive bombing of Cambodia from 1968-1973. A declassified telephone discussion between Henry Kissinger and General Alexander Haig, Nixon's deputy assistant for national security affairs, recorded that Nixon had ordered a “massive bombing campaign in Cambodia [to use] anything that flys [sic] on anything that moves”.
The map of US bombing targets released by Yale University’s Cambodian Genocide Program shows that more than half of the country was affected by the indiscriminate bombings. Professor Ben Kierman, director of the program, puts the casualties figure from the bombing at 150,000 deaths, while Edward Herman, a professor of Wharton School, and Noam Chomsky put the toll at 600,000 using figures provided by a Finnish Commission of Inquiry.
Based on this, we can never naively claim that US bombing led to the mass executions by the Khmer Rouge or refuted the regime's mass atrocities. But, to certain extent, the blanket bombing, which directly led to the destruction of livestock and agricultural land, could have definitely played a role in the mass starvation.
From new data released during the Clinton administration, Taylor Owen, a doctoral student at Oxford University, and Professor Kierman noted that 2,756,941 tons of bombs were dropped on Cambodia.
To put the figure into perspective, just over 2 million tons of bombs were dropped by the allies during all of World War II. The bombs dropped in Cambodia represented about 184 Hiroshima atomic bombs combined, making Cambodia the most bombed nation in the world. Based on the new data, Professor Kierman also stressed that the casualties might be much higher than his earlier predicted 150,000."
2:50am-
Grammar correction is needed. Text is incomprehensible.
Nak Sreh
6:48am-
sound educated and informational. I praise. Please tell others that KR era is over but Viet and Sen are not. Suffering is more to come for Khmer.
7:29am-
Lon Non is a covert
Khmer Rouge. His brother, Lon Nol, sent him to the US to avoid death but he went back a bit before April 17, 1975 expecting to welcome his former classmate Saloth Sar -Pol Pot-
but he and many others underestimate
KR's secret policies.
Many Lon Nol's officers including Lon Non are covert K.Rouge. They got killed earlier. Lieutenant smean Lek, the TV chapei singer, is also KR agent.
Nak Sreh-
During build the Kampong Chhnang airport at Krang Lav I saw a lot of Chinene export working as technicians, their workplace is between Maintain Krang Lav and Phnom Krang Dey Meas near by Kampong Chhnang city. Outsite of compond where the Chinesse working Khmer died every day.
Not only Lon Non is a covert but two of my uncles were the same. 1) One of them was a colonel COL of military doctor, he sent a lot of medicament from Gen. Lon Nol's soldiers to Khmer Rouge, Dezember 1974 was captured by Lon Nol soldiers and sent him to prison, after 17 April 1975 he moved to his partners (Khmer Rouge), 2 days later his all family was killed.
2) The other was a high staff officer in DN Phnon Penh and worked also for Khmer Rouge. 2 weeks after 17 April 1975 he was also killed by KR.
Resumme: All of our family were standing on the side of Khmer republic but both of my oncles cooperate with killer Khmer Rouge, so I do hope both had deserve their head. Our familie know that they did not work for KR (communist) but for papa Sihanouk but they were dumb stupid did not know Sihanouk worked with communist.

Hi 3:46 PM
Do you have to blast people by putting yourself down to make your points?
Whoever this woman is, she isn't the one that readers would think as you cursed her she is, it is you who has the problems.
She is a troll online and you are belittling yourself by talking trash.
2:47 PM
You need to write a clear English and it is confusing the bloggers and reads because we tried to figure out what you are trying tell the readers.
I am with you, but not clear with your writing
