The Trial Chamber’s decision to reject defence counsel’s petitions to have New Zealand Judge Silvia Cartwright removed and investigated was published by the Khmer Rouge tribunal yesterday.

In a decision dated December 2, the Trial Chamber dismissed defence motions to have Cartwright investigated and permanently disqualified due to a perception of “bias” stemming from ex parte meetings between Cartwright, international co-prosecutor Andrew Cayley and the deputy director of administration at the tribunal.

Nuon Chea’s defence counsel believed these meetings gave the appearance of “bias” by Cartwright towards Cayley and his office.


Ieng Sary’s defence had petitioned the chamber for further information about the meetings to correct any such perception.

Both motions were denied by the Trial Chamber as invalid and void of merit. In the decision, the Trial Chamber found it was common for international courts to have administrative meetings among UN staff.

Cartwright sits next to Trial Chamber president Nil Nonn on the judges’ bench when the court is in session. Throughout opening statements and the first week of evidence last week, those in the court gallery witnessed Nil Nonn frequently turning to Cartwright when deliberating decisions.

A motion by Nuon Chea’s defence counsel for an investigation into alleged political interference at the tribunal, filed with the Phnom Penh Municipal Court on October 24, was also rejected yesterday.

The defence team had filed a criminal complaint with the national court requesting an investigation into alleged interference by senior government officials, including Prime Minister Hun Sen, at the tribunal.

Hun Sen, Senate president Chea Sim, National Assembly president Heng Samrin and eight other officials allegedly participated in a “common criminal plan” to interfere with the court’s work, according to a copy of the complaint. Nuon Chea’s defence team was not available for comment.

Nuon Chea and Khieu Samphan
Nuon Chea and Khieu Samphan, My heart support with your last fight in this Hanoi ECCC court in Cambodia for real Khmer history and to reveal who has been our real enemy to get rid of Khmer race, Khmer land .

I know this fight has been very hard for you because this ECCC have been under political pressures from Hanoi and US plus Chea Leang and other always tried to shut you and Khieu Samphan up especially behind the closed door for nearly 4 years.

I support you 2 ( Noun Chea and Khieu Samphan ) from the bottom of my heart in your last fight to have real Khmer in Khmer history and to reveal the real enemy of Khmer people in Khmer history to put Cambodia and Lao under it’s annex known as Indochina Federation.

Hey Dumb Vietgooks and Vietgook lady Ms. Soap, Smart Asses/Clever Killers! Khmer people are not dumb, but Khmer people are very peaceful people who don't create warm. You Dumb Vietgooks like to make wars and play games with other. It is too late for your Vietgook to play the dirty tricks like your Vietgook had done in the past like the Vietgook War with Americans. Then You Vietgook the create the secret and dirty plan in the blind eyes of International communities and you have tried to fool foreigners as much as you can. However, you, Vietgooks can't because Khmer people all over the world and international communities caught your bad and evil acts, playing to be smart ass to kill Khmer and Laotian people to spread ugliest Vietgookization that has ugly culture and ugly tone.

Go ahead to spread the Vietgookization, Ms. Vietgook Lady, Ms. Soap. You are very good to deceive men to show some cock for you, but no man want to fuck your ugly Virgina even though you are so pretty Vietgook lady and because you are a very bad lady to cause a lot of problem in Cambodia and support your illegal Vietgooks living in Cambodia. What a mess, Ms. Vietgook lady Ms. Soap. You are no different as Vietgook secret agents hiding among Khmer society to quietly kill innocent Khmer people who are very peaceful people who did not like to make wars. You Ms. Soap and your Vietgooks try to kill innocent and peaceful Khmer people who live there where you ugly Vietgook bitch and your illegal Vietgooks living in Cambodian on purpose in order to steal land by your committed evil murderous acts and overtake everything from Cambodia. You Ms. Soap and your Vietgooks are the same as secret Vietgook/Yuon agents hiding among Khmer Rouges Regime that murdered innocent and people Khmer people, trying to accuse Pol Pot, Nuon Chea, and every Khmer Rouges as Killers instead. How clever and smart your Vietgooks and you Vietgook lady (named yourself Ms. Soap) are today. Stop playing the trick and dirty game or plan with Khmer people and foreigners or International Communities. You Vietgook lady and your Vietgooks always think the U.S. to ignore or that the U.S. does not know about your dirty secret plan to wipe out Khmer people and your Vietgooks manipulate the U.S. to hate innocent and peaceful Khmer people with no reason. Your Vietgooks keep fooling the U.S. and Europeans and International communities. We, Khmer people, have a lot of things to say how bad and evil you Vietgook lady and Vietgook folks are in everywhere around the globe.

If something occur badly between Yuon/Vietgook and Khmer people in the U.S., there will be a lot of noise about Vietgook country and folks that are dog eaters and eat everything animals and creatures until they are not existed anymore. Bad Vietgook dog eaters.

Please Khmer people in the U.S. and abroad let's make noise and chant on the street or protest against Vietgook folks like Ms. Soap and her evil Vietgook government in Cambodia and Laos to change and manipulate other foreigners in the blind eyes of International Communities.

Vietgook lady named herself Ms. Soap, tries to spread her dirty and unreliable comments to fool young Khmer, Vietgook children to confuse and be brainwashed to kill Khmer people, believe wrong and rewritten history about Vietgookization. Vietgook culture and language are very ugly and boring. Vietgook copied the ideas of how to make Khmer food everywhere their Vietgook restaurants. For example, fresh spring roll, rice mercelli, all kinds of Khmer food to be Vietgook food.

Please Khmer people make noise about Vietgook and don't wait until the world know how bad Vietgook fooks are because of the manipulation and accusation of this Vietgook Bitch named herself Ms. Soap.

Then the people in the world will stop Vietgook folks and government to kill Khmer people including Laotian people before Vietgook folks and their ugly government to take over the lands and make their ugly and disgusted Vietgookization/Vietnamization.
