In preparation for the start of trial hearings beginning on 27 June 2011 of Case 002 against the surviving Khmer Rouge senior leaders Nuon Chea, Khieu Samphan, Ieng Sary and Ieng Thirith, KI Media is starting a new series in posting installations of the public document of the Closing Order of Case 002. The Closing Order of the Co-Investigating Judges forms the basic document from which all the parties (Co-Prosecutors, Co-Lead Lawyers for all civil parties, Defense Lawyers) will be making their arguments before the Trial Chamber judges (one Cambodian President, 2 Cambodian Judges, 2 UN judges). Up until now, the hearings involving these four surviving senior Khmer Rouge leaders have been in the Pre-Trial Chamber over issues of pre-trial detention and jurisdictional issues. Beginning in June 2011, the Trial Chamber will hear the substantive arguments over the criminal charges (e.g. genocide, crimes against humanity, penal code of 1956). Available in Khmer and French. Contact the ECCC for a free copy.
CLOSING ORDER
of Co-Investigating Judges You Bunleng and Marcel Lemonde, 15 September 2010
Trapeang Thma Dam Worksite1331
Functioning
Structure and Personnel
324. The construction of Trapeang Thma was organised and controlled by CPK cadres who divided and supervised the workers into working units, assigned unit tasks and individual tasks, issued working plans, appointed unit leaders,1347 and collected biographies of people working at the site.1348 There were unit chairmen, company chairmen and platoon chairmen within the reporting structure.1349
325. The unit chiefs had to report on progress of construction on a regular basis to receive their orders from their superiors and to set the working plans for the coming days.1350 Val, Pheng, Thoang and Hang were those responsible to develop the work plans.1351 Reports would be sent to "Angkar 870"1352 to report on progress, such as one copied to "Uncle [sic], Uncle Nuon, Brother Van, Brother Vorn, Office, Documentation" reporting on a visit of Yugoslavian journalists to the dam.1353
326. Overall responsibility for construction of Trapeang Thma was that of Val alias Aok Haun,1354 a Sector 5 CPK cadre of the Northwest Zone1355 who would frequently visit the worksite to inspect progress. Val was the Chief of the Sector 5 Mobile Work Unit1357 and as stated by witness testimony, it was him "who adopted the plan to choose the forces from the district to go to build the Trapeang Thma Dam".1358
327. Assisting Val in the supervision was Hat, Phnom Srok District Committee,1359 with whom Val would liaise and communicate. Val was arrested and transferred to S-21 in June 19771360 as well as Hat in September 1977 after accusations of being traitors,1361 prior to the completion of the dam.
328. The Secretary of Sector 5 of the Northwest Zone was Man Chun alias Hoeng.1362 He was arrested in September 19771363 and replaced by Heng Rin alias Mei alias Noeov Rin until his arrest on 16 November 197 8,1364 which was followed by his execution on 15 December
1978.1365
329. Others supervising the construction of the dam were Muol Sambat alias Ta Nhim alias Ruos Nheum alias Moul Un, Secretary of the Northwest Zone Committee who visited the dam construction site several times before its completion1366 and Cheal, a member of the Sector 5 Committee,1367 both of whom would later be arrested in 1978 and 1977 respectively.1368
330. The construction site was visited several times by CPK leaders.1369 There is evidence that Pol Pot and Khieu Samphan visited Trapeang Thma at various points during its construction.1370 One witness refers to Ieng Sary visiting Trapeang Thma with Pol Pot. However, the witness' knowledge of this is only by way of hearsay and he did not personally see the Charged Person at the worksite.1371

Hope people start collecting evident of brutality Hun Sen and his family has committed against Cambodian so that we do not have to spend so much time, so much money when the time come to put them on trial. The time will come unless they kill all of us. If one Cambodian survive on this earth, the person must find a way to put Hun Sen and his family on trial.

Dear 1:40 AM, Your information is very usefull for Khmer especially for next generation of Khemr.
Ruos Nheum ( or Rours Nhim ) and So Phim were in law.
They both were seniors Khmer Vieth Minh figting against French colony in First Indochina War during 1940s-1950s.
During 1975-1978 Ruos Nheum and So Phim were seniors of Khmer Rouge as follow:
1. So Phim had 2 positions:
1. He was brother number 4 after Ieng Sary ( Ieng Sary brtother number 3 ). as the author of Cambodia's tears says in her book ( Elizebeth Becker ) So Phim was very powerfull during 1975-1978.
2. Secreatary of Bopear zone.
2. Ruos Nheum was a secreatry of Battambang zone.
As 1: 40 AM mentions ( let me quote part of his commnet as follow:
He is a former viet-Minh and spy Hanoi agent working in Pol pot regime, kills a lot Khmer civilians and armies forces [Lon nol officials Govt] ( end quote ).
Khmer Rouge between 1975-1979 formed up by 2 big groups:
1. A group of Paris students led by Pol Pot.
2. Other groups led by So Phin Khmer Viet Minh.
Ta Mok said before he passed away in his interview that:
Angkar between 1975-1979 as follow:
1. Pol Pot.
2. Nuon Chea. ( former member of Thai Communist Party ).
3. Ieng Sary.
4. So Phin ( former Khmer Viet Minh ), this senior Khmer Viet Minh, So Phin was very powerfull man before and during 1975-1979 as Elizabeth Becker says in her book ( Cambodia’s tears ).
5. Son Sen .
6. Ta Mok.
If Khmer still expect any justice from this hanoi ECCC just look at the following and judge for yourself. This ECCC formed by CPP , CPP formed by yuon Hanoi. So yuon Hanoi have strong influent over this ECCC.
Note: Keo Meas and So Phin were senior Khmer Rouge ( Brother number 4 ) So Phin was a fomer military commander of Heng Samrin, Chea Sim ect ….. .
So Phim had 3 divisions about 30,000 fighting Khmer Viet Minh under his control or command included Khmer Viet Minh like Heng Samrin, Chea Sim and many more before and during 1978.
