Former two-star generals Lay Virak and Khoun Roeun and two accomplices were sent to Prey Sar prison yesterday after appearing in the Phnom Penh Municipal Court for questioning related to their drug trafficking charges.

Presiding Judge Sieng Sok said the pair and their accomplices, Cheang Chhunly and Soun Seila, had been charged with drug trafficking and use of illegal weapons – after they were found with about 1 kilogram of crystal methamphetamine and AK47s on Monday.

In court, the two-star generals – both senior defence advisers – remained silent, but Lay Virak’s sister Lay Vary testified in support of her brother. “His character is good; I do not believe that he acted like this. I know my brother’s character,” she said.

The four defendants and their lawyers could not be reached for comment.

they will put anyone that they don't trust in jail, so that they know they will stay in power a bit longer. This is how they protect their ganags.

I agree with you.

My comment:

This is another dirty trick of Hun Sen to get rid of Lay Virak becasue Lay Virak was a former fighter from Thai-Cambodian against Vietnamese occupation since 1979s till 1991 Paris Peace Agreement.

Lay Virak is not the first Hun Sen and Hanoi target more target will be getting rid of to clear way for Indochina Federation .

Good fighter of KPNLF and womanizing, and cruelty in Nang Chan, too. Much worst abuser was Mr. Phnom, the Right hand man of Mr. Chhout, the camp leader. I lived there from 1980-1984.
Karma eat Karma. Peal see Peal. and big Dog eat smaller dog. that's the way is happening now in Cambodia
