Who are Meas Muth and Sou Met?

By Khmer Democrat, Phnom Penh
ECCC Cases 003 and 004 Series

Is civil party applicant Ms. Theary C. Seng correct in saying that Meas Muth and Sou Met are in Case 003 and Im Chaem and two other district chiefs are in Case 004? See ECCC Timeline by Theary C. Seng. Are Cambodian scholar Steve Heder and international lawyer Brian Tittemore correct in naming Meas Muth and Sou Met as senior leaders to be prosecuted? See http://www.wcl.american.edu/warcrimes/khmerrouge.pdf?rd=1. This series will provide in full the section on Meas Muth and Sou Met from the report Seven Candidates for Prosecution: Accountability for the Crimes of the Khmer Rouge.

V. Conclusion

In sum, our research has confirmed the existence throughout the period of CPK rule of several policies of mass executions and, moreover, has illuminated key features of those policies and the role that senior CPK officials played in devising and implementing them.

The newly-available evidence ties CPK officials Nuon Chea, Khieu Samphan, Ieng Sary, Ta Mok, Kae Pok, Sou Met and Meah Mut to records that explicitly refer to large-scale killings and the torture of prisoners, confirms that arrests and executions in rural areas were reported by lower level officials to central authorities, and reveals that arrests and executions were discussed in meetings of military commanders.

Accordingly, this documentation confirms that many, if not all, of these crimes were committed as a matter of policy and that these seven officials were knowingly involved in the development and/or implementation of those policies. This evidence in turn strongly suggests the individual criminal responsibility of these individuals for DK-era crimes, based upon their own conduct and, in most cases, for the conduct of their subordinates.

Allmost all of the khmer leaders are crimials and the UN nd doesn't give a dam about it all because they know that there is no benefit to them. Imagine amost 2 millions died and the evidences are everywhere just go to youtube how they talked about being neutroal and then being part of all aprties at the same time. These criminal start from the king, his rulling parties and how he created the po; pot regimes including Hun Sen. Now Hun Sen makes millions or billions, how???? PM or president earns roughtly about $200 thousands a year if you time it by 30 years is $6 millions, now if he has more than this he must be one of the corrupted leaders in the world. In addition, his income can not be more than PM in the west because he is in the third world country. Now, if his income is more than expected, khmer defence force must do the action, that is to arest Hun Sen and his family for being corrupted as it is a crime to commit such act. Wisdom
