At a time when the preliminary hearing for Case 002 is approaching during next week, lawyers representing Ieng Sary, the former minister of Foreign Affairs of the KR regime, sent a request to the KR Tribunal (KRT) demanding that it provides an explanation as to why it did not summon Hun Xen and Ranariddh to provide testimonials in the upcoming hearing.

Ieng Sary’s lawyers raised in their letter that the KRT judges should confirmed the timing for all witnesses to provide their testimonials, and that it should explain the reason why theses witnesses were not summoned to the court for next week.

Last month, Ieng Sary’s lawyers asked the court to summon Hun Xen, Ranariddh, former King Norodom Sihanouk and Chea Xim to provide their testimonials during next week’s hearing about the government goal in providing amnesty to him.


Starting since 2008, Ieng Sary’s defense lawyers have argued that their client cannot be at fault because he received an amnesty in 1996 from the government in which Ranariddh was the first prime minister and Hun Xen, the second prime minister. The amnesty was granted after the KR soldiers surrendered themselves.

Nevertheless, the KR co-prosecutors opposed Ieng Sary’s lawyers’ claim, stating that his amnesty does not protect him from International criminal law and that amnesty for crimes such as genocide is not recognized by the International law.

Absolutely a right move! Yes Hun, Sihanouk, Chea Sim, Heng Samrin and many other senior CPP officials should be sommoned to court as well.

They had their hands wet with blood during Pol Pot regime. These people are extreme killers. They are no different from Ieng Sary,Kiev Samphan and those KR leaders.

It will be interesting to see Hun Sen, Sihanouk and more in court.

Khmer murderer Ierng Sary,

You are the one who came to Poi Pet for a reception of 82 Ex-Khmer pilots,
returnees from Thailand led by Mr. Kong Lach.

You did order to shoot them all in front of Japanese Rice research ( Chh'bar Jupon) in Phnom Toch -Phnom Thom, Mongkulburi, Battambang.

You should pay for your CRIME.

Sounds like yuons only want this eccc judge or condemned only khmer rouge cadres who betrayed yuons or turned against yuons, not other Khmer rouge cadres who are faithful to yuons and continue to serve yuon mass graves and expansionist policy. If not so, all the Khmer rouge cadres must all send to jail or tribunal including sihanouk, the thioun yuon family, horn am hong, keat chhun, hun sen, heng samrin, pen sovann ect

Speak up this is your chance. It is not fair for you if the court won't summon the suspects regardless who they are.
