Tribunal Orders Four Jailed Suspects To Appear

Tuesday, 21 June 2011
Kong Sothanarith, VOA Khmer | Phnom Penh
"A full trial for the four leaders could start as soon as August."
The Khmer Rouge tribunal’s Trial Chamber has officially ordered four jailed leaders to appear for their initial atrocities trial hearing, advising the aging defendants they will be expected to sit throughout the proceedings.

The hearing is set for June 27 and will mark the beginning of a complicated trial that analysts say is at the heart of the tribunal’s efforts.

Defendants Nuon Chea, Khieu Samphan, Ieng Sary and Ieng Thirith will be present before Trial Chamber judges from 8:30 am until the end of the hearing, the chamber’s chief judge, Nil Nonn, said in a court order sent to the chief of provisional detention.


The Trial Chamber expects to review more than 1,000 witnesses, experts and civil party applicants for the trial, known as Case 002. More than 2,000 Khmer Rouge victims have filed to become civil parties, but that number will be smaller by the end of the June hearing.

A full trial for the four leaders could start as soon as August, court officials said.

ក្នុងមួយពិភពលោកនេះ អ្នកណាៗក៏ដឹងគ្រប់គ្នាទាំងអស់ថា
អាយ៉ងក្បត់ជាតិ ហ៊ុន សែន នេះ ជាមេក្បត់ជាតិ, ជាមេ
លក់ជាតិ, ជាមេឃាតករឈាមត្រជាក់, ជាមេខ្មែរក្រហម,
ជាមេទុច្ចរិត, ជាមេពុករលួយ, ជាមេក្រុមមនុស្សពាលនៅកម្ពុជាដែរ!
ហើយក៏ជាមេគ្រោះថ្នាក់ធំជាងគេនៅក្នុងប្រទេសខ្មែរសព្វថ្ងៃនេះ
បើខ្មែរយើងមិននាំគ្នាកំចាត់វានិងបក្សពួកវាចោលទេ ប្រទេសខ្មែរគ្មានថ្ងៃបានសុខសាន្ត និងអភិវឌ្ឍន៍ប្រទេសជាតិ
ឱ្យចម្រើនលូតលាស់បានឡើយ។

Dear 11.16 AM.

I do strongly believe you and most Khmer victims want to hear these Khmer Rouge leaser being deatainded tell us the the truth but the problem is they have detainded by CPP and yuon Hanoi formed CPP so yuon Hanoi have strong control over ECCC or Khmer Ruoge Trial.

There are so many closed doors trials since those four first detainded since late 2007-2011 but these secrete trial behind closed doors never released to khmer public .

So upcomming a political show will face a lot of obstacles and not fully public hearing .

This ECCC or Khmer Rouge Trials has failed long ago because of the following:

1. This ECCC in not independent.

2. Political interference from Hun Sen.

3. Everything this ECCC has done for over 3 years since 2007 has been very secretive and not fully informed the public (the victims ).

4. Big scandal of corruption to obstruct the court process ( ECCC ) of Case 002.

5. Detaining suspects beyond detaining time (over 3 years ) to avoid fully public hearing of Case 002.

If Case 002 undergoes public hearing there will be many other countries involved one of them is Yuon Hanoi who formed Khmer People's Revolutionary Party and later on Known as CPP.

So the real killers of Khmer innocent people are still at large that to say CPP and yuon Hanoi the mastermind of killing field between 1975-1979 in Cambodia.

To back up my above comment all these answers are in Indochina Federation formed by late Ho Chi Minh after 1930. ( one of Khmer Issarak group led by Son Ngoc Minh later on known as Khmer Viet Minh fought against French colony during 1946-1954 till 1954 Geneva conference about Cambodia )

We are the victims of killing field between 1975-1979 must know the real Khmer history at least between 1930-2011 so we know when and how yuon Hanoi formed CPP.

So this ECCC is 100% a failure to find justice for 1.7 million of Khmer victims.

So Case 002 will face a lot of obstacles , not fully public hearing.

For those who want to know weather this upcomming political show will provide any justice for 1.7 million victims and their famileis.

All of the answers are in who origionally formed Communist Party of Kampuchea ( or Khmer Rouge ).

As DR.Dmitry Mosyakov says Pol Pot want fully independent from yuon Hanoi, Dr. Mosyakov is Director of the Center for South-East Asia, Australia and Oceania Studies in Moscow, Russia.

DR. Mosyakov also says in hish interview that upcomming Khmer Rouge Triial is a political show ( theatre).

So the differences between Pol Pol and Hun Sen are :

1. Pol Pot wanted full independent from youn Hanoi.

2. Hun Sen does not want any independent from yuon Hanoi.

So Pol Pot is much better then Hun Sen in term of full independency for Cambodia and Cambodian from yuon Hanoi.
