Letter to The Phnom Penh Post
Dear Editor,
I was struck by an article titled “Ieng Thirith unfit” published in The Phnom Penh Post on November 18. I think Khmer Rouge (KR) defendant Ieng Thirith is not only fit to stand trial, but smart enough to cheat the Trial Chamber. I share my story with the KR Supreme Trial Chamber before a killer walks out of a detention center and smiles.
I was born after the KR regime, but I learned some stories about the regime. One interesting story I learned is that during the KR regime a few people pretended to be mentally unfit in order to survive the killing. In my view, Ieng Thirith learned the way her victims escaped from her killing and now she uses the unfit reason as a pretext to get away from justice.
I think Ieng Thirith is fit and even smarter than the Trial Chamber. Had she been unfit, she would have blamed herself for killing people instead of warning prosecutors of going to the seventh level of hell. If Ieng Thirith were unfit, she would cry for help from those who died between 1975 and 1979, especially unfit victims, rather than using an unfit reason to re-victimise the survivors.

Mi katorb,
She fakes.....
Youn mean puth
Finally she leaned from her victims.
Yes, indeed she is very smart woman.
I am a Khmer I have nothing to gain or lose from my following comment:
ECCC and CPP and Hun Sen are very clever.
The main deal about releasing Ieng Thirith is with her husband Ieng Sary .
Ieng Thirith as her older sister Khieu Ponary had severe mental problems before she pass away.
For Ieng Thirith she has had a mental problems since before she was arrested in 2007.
And her mental problem getting worse .
Why ECCC , CPP and Hun Sen are very cleaver by temporaly release Ieng Thirithfrom ECCC if they keep detaining her they have to put her on show trial but because of her mental problem she can not joint this 21 Nov trial.
So what is the real deal with Ieng Sary is his wife going to be released so Ieng Sary do not cooperate with Nuon Chea by speaking out the truth.
Don' t forget that Ieng Sary is a thirth person in Communist Party of Kampuchea after Nuon Chea ( second ).
And the Communist Party of Kampuchea involved deeply with the Indochines Communist Party who created CPP in 1951 known as Khmer People's Revolutionary Party and those fighters for KPRP ( CPP old name ) known as Khmer Viet Minh udner yuon Viet Minh fighting against French colony.
In 1954 after Geneva Conference those Khmer Viet Minh who did not go to Hanoi ( majority ) stayed in Cambodia and later on those Khmer Viet Minh under the leadership with Tou Samouth joined Pol Pot in 1960 to form Communsit Party of Kampuchea ( Known as Khmer Worker's Party in 1960 and changed to Communist Party of kampuchea in 1966.
Ieng Thirith was a Khmer Rouge broadcaster radio in Hanoi in 1970.
Maybe she was a Khmer Vietminh using
by Vietnam govt.
This wise woman learned from her
victims.

I have a feeling that the lawyers, judge, doctors, and the psychiatrists that evaluated her to determine that is "unfit" are not stupid not to know if she is only pretending. After all most of them are also khmer and I'm certain that they are also aware of the situation and circumstances that there were people pretending to be insane during the khmer rouge regime.
Anyway, Pann Lysrun, I have a feeling that your assumption is flawed. If you did not have the opportunity to evaluate her condition, I dont think your assumption is creditable.
You are wrong ! No matter who they are, but when it is time to kill , no one could be spared . Especially the mental diseased , those sort of people would be the first target to be eliminated .
a lot of Khmers in USA have claimeb to be mentally ill in order to collect disability benefit.
Ooh my god.. 10:57 AM,
Are you one of them? Let the doctors do their job. Do not blame all of my friends.
Ah Hun Sen's wife Bun Rany is Youn. Her viet name is NGUYEN THY TEOUN, HER birth name is HEANG ENETTATI
Who can determine the so called
experts are sane enough themselves
to claim that Ms.Ieng Thirith is not fit to stand trial???
12:14pm
do you think pann lysrun can prove that ieng thirith is fit to stand trial?
10:21AM,
What is your real name? Why don't you tell people who you are and what have you done that make Pang Sokheoun to defame you?
As I know Pang Sokhoeun has involved and interests himself in any personal conflicts with most people in facebook and in his real life he only cheated his wife and took a girlfriend from Prum Seiha. That is all.
It seems that you have chosen to attack a right person, but in a wrong website. I have seen here and in facebook those people who use many IDs with no pictures and information about themselves try to attack and defame him and Mr. Meng Ly who has crucial mental problem in New Zealand.
I understand that those people are pro-CPP but they have right to do whathever they like as the new genernations of this country and try to change the mindsets through dialogue with honesty and respect unless they want to be like extreme SRP today.
I just cannot stand to answer for him because I always visit his wall daily and I also encourage him to answer if he thinks it is neccesary but he has never dared to answer any question.
