PRESS RELEASE: Appeal by the Internatio​nal Co-Prosecu​tor against the rejection of investigat​ive requests in Case File 003


19 August 2011

PRESS RELEASE APPEAL BY THE INTERNATIONAL CO-PROSECUTOR AGAINST THE REJECTION OF INVESTIGATIVE REQUESTS IN CASE FILE 003

The International Co-Prosecutor, Andrew Cayley, makes this public statement pursuant to ECCC Internal Rules 21 and 54 and Article 12(2) of the ECCC Agreement, to ensure that the public is duly informed about ongoing ECCC proceedings in Case 003, and taking into consideration the interests of victims and witnesses, the rights of suspects and the requirements of the investigation.

Yesterday, on 18 August 2011, the ECCC Pre-Trial Chamber approved a public redacted version of the International Co-Prosecutor’s appeal against the Co-Investigating Judges’ rejection of: 1) a request for an extension of time for the filing of civil party applications and 2) three requests for additional investigative actions in Case 003. This appeal requests the Pre-Trial Chamber to overturn the Co-Investigating Judges’ decision on a number of grounds, including an incorrect interpretation of the law, and a contravention of the Co-Investigating Judges’ legal obligation to conduct a complete and impartial investigation. As the Co-Investigating Judges refused the International Co-Prosecutor’s investigative requests on procedural grounds, the appeal requests the Pre-Trial Chamber to direct the Co-Investigating Judges to consider the requests on merits.

REJECTION OF CASE 003 MEANS THAT THE UNITED NATIONS ARE DEFEATED BY A FORMER KHMER ROUGE SOLDIER NAMED HUN SEN. THIS MAN VIOLENTLY OPPOSED THE FORMATION OF THIS CASE SAYING THAT THE WAR WILL BREAK OUT.

NO CAMBODIAN WANTED THE WAR, EXCEPT THIS MAN.

THANK YOU SO MUCH U.N FOR THE CASE 003 AND PLEASE DO NOT STOP THERE, PROCEED TO 004 SO THAT THE JUSTICE WILL BE SERVED FOR SO MANY MENTALLY TRAUMATYZED CAMBODIANS

Hi Everyone,

One of KI-Media member who has his name in Facebook as Khmer Sovannaphumi but his real name is Pang Sokhoeun, former political asylum and now living in Sweden. He always copies news from here to post in his facebook profile to promote himself, but right now, he tries to remove and blocked anyone who dares to reveal his con activity particular he tries to hide what he has cheated his wife (Sreypov Chea) by having a girlfriend (Sokunthear Sam) behind his wife back. Now, his girlfriend had run way from him after she knew his cheating.

A con man Pang Sokhoeun as well as KI-Media like to insult to the government officers who have affairs, but himself does even worse than other people. What a shame!

When one person had posted in KI-Media and accused that a con man Pang Sokhoeun is a brother of Som Ek (former Chief of Tiger's head sign guerilla, who was arrested and put in prison by Cambodian government) during that time, a cheater Pang Sokhoeun came to deny in his blogs immediately and had pointed the blame to Mr. Sourn Serey Rotha, but this time, he has bury his head in the sand because he cannot deny the truth that he has cheated his wife. Right now, all he can do is removed and blocked anyone who dared to reveal his cheating.
