Nuon Chea asks the KRT to investigate Vietnam’s role in the KR affair

On the 4th day of the KRT preliminary hearing held on 30 June 2011, Nuon Chea’s defense lawyer informed the court that his client asks that the judges investigate Vietnam’s role before and during the Democratic Kampuchea (DK) regime era and not just during the 1975-1979 era alone.

Nuon Chea’s lawyer raised the necessity for this investigation because numerous decisions made by the DK regime were taken because of Vietnam’s policy.

Nuon Chea said that the bombing [on Cambodia] must be investigated also in order to learn clearly about food [shortage] problem prior to 1975. If it was true, what is its effect on the Cambodian people? Does the DK regime have the ability to resolve this issue or not?


Nuon Chea’s lawyer indicated that it is also necessary to investigate the KR army commanders from the eastern zone who [claims that] the cadres have no role to exercise their power.

Nuon Chea also asks for an investigation into Duch’s statement claiming that he (Nuon Chea) was savage in the crimes perpetrated in the Tuol Sleng jail.

Khieu Samphan also protested to the hearing chamber saying that the names of his witnesses do not appear the tribunal’s roster, but the majority of the prosecution’s witnesses are listed. He added that there were some names of his witnesses, but they turn out to be prosecution witnesses for questioning instead. Khieu Samphan promised that he will turn in his list of witnesses in writing one more time. He asked the hearing chamber to listen to his side also if it wants to know clearly because in the past people talked too much about him.

Before Pol Pot dies he always claimed that the Killing Fields caused not only Pol Pot henchmen alone but Viet argents too. Now, MR Nuon Chea, Khieu Samphan,.. must claimed what you have saw in your regime. All young Khmer generation want to see who were the true killers. Don't afraid, please speak out all if you are really Khmer. We (Khmers) can forgive you but if you don't tall the truth who stood behind this Killing Fields then you are the Khmer traitor and never forgive. What is with camrade Sihanouk, Hor 5 Hong, Ket Chhon, Hun Xen,...

I think all these KR leaders should tell only truth, nothing but the truth; if they so chose to love Khmer people and nation.

Only the truth will tell the true intends of other countries involved; and so the new generations of Khmer children can truly learn about true and sad era of Khmer history.

By telling the truth, their victims will find some kind of closure and their children to truly learned what really happened in KR era and why Cambodia fall victim??? so this will not happen again.

Two weeks ago I heard a radio interview of an Australian Radio and a Russian former diplomat saying that
Hun Sen, Chea sin and Heng Samrin are too scared to have this khmer Rouge trial to take their full course to trial all these suspect criminals of the khmer rouge. The killing fields has started from 1975. and these three men have left Cambodia until 1978. If the court could go into it full course, the result may change to different direction. Nuon Chea has said that all killers are enemies of the people. Who were they? Most of them have been arrested by Nuon Chea'group and were jailed in Tuol Sleng.

Here it goes the game of finger pointing, but this game might turn out to be a good one, because he has good points. (ro naing ro naong dauch somlor kropoeuss)
No wonder Nuon Chea has been smiling all the time, he must have some very good cards up his sleeves.

Mith DUCH said that NOUN CHEA ordered him to kill all prisoners in Toul Sleng,because NOUN CHEA wanted to clear himself.So this KR Tribunal will take longtime to finish,do not give reason today wait one or two years more.
NOUN CHEA is a student from Thammasat's University of Thailand,he was living in Thailand and educated by Siam .May be the Siam sended to kill Khmers than take Khmer land.

100% agreed with Noun chea on this. Let see if this bloody trial dare to invest on viet case involving in the genocide against Khmer.

If Khmer rouge are only killing tools, named by a French journalist, then who are the masters or creators of those killing tools? Who winners and profiteers of the genocide in Cambodia if not yuons.

why khmer this KR leader was so ignorant? i think because their thinking is out of wack! yes, some khmer thinking is so outdated. however, i believe the foreigners should some role in the KR killing fields as well. khmer's culture dictate to us to respect and follow the leaders, so, that's where the ignorance came from, i think! for a change, i think khmer people should think differently and should learn to think critically and analyze for themselves, instead of always taking orders due to greed, ignorance, hatred, revenge, power hungry, breaking the law, etc, etc, really! i say stop the outdated thinking already, it won't make our country progress into a modern nation, if he are slowed by outdated thinking too much, you know!

What about 200.000 Khmers living in US? Deport them too like Vietnamese from Cambodia? What about Khmer Krom? Do they still need to be deported back to Cambodia too? What about Rattanakiri and Mondulkiri- do they need to be granted independence?
What about Indian engineers of Angkor Wat- does it belong to India now?

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

Noun Chea pretended that ,he had to kill Khmer because of Youn`plot .His regime committed the massacre because of the Bombardment .This man is still full of evil thought even he has almost return to hell ,but he still want to accuse others for involvement to the tragedy .During the hearing He don`t wants collaborate with ECCC at all .
He used many pretext to quit the court .In fact ,2 millions Khmer who had been killed between 1975-1978 is due to his crazy communist ideology .There were no America ,no China neither Youn plot that had involved to the massacre .The massacre was one of the Khmer rouge policy ,in a goal to purify Khmer race . Believe or Not If the countryside people take power and lead country ,I Swear they are going to kill as what Pol pot had done again. Because Those sort people
have a savage nature .

All of the four KR will face lives sentences.

I can tell you now don't need to wait till this ECCC round up and it is not too early to say that.

Refussing accused's witnessess to let them showing up and speaking out in this ECCC court room mean this ECCC so scare of Nuon Chea, and Khieu Samphan speaking out.

So not allowed accssed's witnesses showing up and speaking out in this ECC court room showing clearly 1 of the dirty tricks of this ECCC to avoid the four KR speaking out too much.

This Hanoi ECCC will face a lot of ostacles from CPP who formed by Hanoi
to obstruct this ECCC court process such not allowed accused 's witnesses to show up and speake out in thi ECCC court process.

In real life, in Cambodia this ECCC accused's witnesses face a lot of threatening especially lives threatning.

So this Hanoi ECCC in Cambodia will face a lot of obstacles from CPP and enp up with dissappointment of majority of Cambodian.

I agree with 1 comment on this K(IAll of the four KR will face lives sentences.

All of the 4 KR will face lives immprison why not this ECCC let the 4 KR speak as much as they needed, bring their witnesses as many as needed.

Why this ECCC so afraid of Nuon
chea and Khieu Samphan's witnesses showing up and speakin out in this ECCC, this clearly mean:

1. ECCC has been afraid of Nuon Chea and Khieu Samphan speakiing out about 1.7 million Cambodians killed during 1975-1979.

2. By law , it is strongly against any law by refussing accused's witnesses.

3. The real genocide of Cambodian between 1975-1979 are still outside this ECCC.

4. This is 1 of ECCC and CPP dirty tricks and many more will be used in upcomming not full public hearing of Case 002.

I have to give Noun Chea some credits for asking those questions.

Hopefully, Hun Sen won't kill him in jail simply to shut him up.
