On 13 February, the ECCC reviewed proof documents that were showed by the Co-prosecutor.
The majority of these documents involved the accused Khieu Samphan and they are press quotes, interviews and statements attributed to Khieu Samphan.
While reading about the history of the Communist Party of Kampuchea, at the relationships between Sihanouk, Pol Pot and Zhou Enlai, the former prime minister of the People’s Republic of China during the late 60s, the Co-prosecutor quoted Khieu Samphan as saying that King Norodom Sihanouk was involved in the death of 2 former high-ranking cadres: Hou Yon and Hu Nim.
The co-prosecutor read: “Zhou Enlai was the intermediary [go-between] between all these people. Khieu Samphan confirmed in that correspondence letter that Pol Pot sent a support letter to Samdech Sihanouk which included the signature of Hou Yon, Hun Nim and Khieu Samphan. The later 2 persons were killed by order of Samdech Sihanouk.”
Regarding this quote, Khieu Samphan did not have the opportunity to respond yet and the co-prosecutor will add more information on Tuesday 14 February.

Thank you Khieu Samphan, Noun Chea for openning up the truth and bring out all the culprits that involved in killings. I have been waiting for this moments. Sihanouk is the main Khmer Rouge.
Sihanouk must be summon to this court.
If this speculation is true, Khmer people are not so surprised about Sihanouk's brutality.
He used to kill Khmer people and filmed it and ordered every theater to show the firing squad shot at those Khmer nationalists in order to scare people from mounting any protest against his regime.
People,
Please stop confusing with this crazy dog Sihanouk. He is a traitor.
Sihanouk and Hun Shit have exactly the same character, but Hun Shit is worse than Sihanouk because he has been facilitating the Vietnamization of Cambodia to please Vietnam in exchange for his job.
Go to hell Ah Kbot Cheat Teang Pi Kbal !!
SIHANOUK NEED TO BE BROUGHT BACK HOME FROM CHINA TO STAND TRIAL FOR HIS CRIME
11:54, 12:51, and 12:58 are absolutely correct. Thank you all for seeing the truth and identifying the guilty individual who should be responsible for the Khmer death and unending suffering. Sihanouk must be the creator of communism and Khmer Rouge in Cambodia. Thank you all so much.
Khmer Son
This is soooo true, Ah Sihanouk did ordered the execution of Hou Nim and Hou Yon because they wanted the country to resume normalcy after Pol Pot took over the country, but their request was denied and they were put to death for that reasons. Phuck Ah Sihanouk, he is also the killer of Khmer people, ah dumb ass sihanouk.
Not only Hou Yon and Hu Nim was killed from order of Sihanouk but other 1.7 millions Khmer as well!
It was the revenge killing for his 1970's depose!
Sihanouk must be brought to trial or the KR trial is just s shows.
If we look at SHN's actions from the past, one must start to wonder:
-Invited Viet cong to invaded and kill Khmer's republican soldiers.
-The starving of Cambodian people
- went to France, between 1975-79, to invite well educated people to Cambodia to joint Pol Pot regime in the pretext that "helping to build Cambodia" but those who fool enough to believe him were tortured/starved and/or killed.
-Handed power to Hun Sen who is a Viet's pro after he lost the election.
-The signing of many other agreements which benefit Hanoi greatly.

it's funny how sihanouk has kept low profile now, perhaps, thinking nobody will notice. we all know by history that sihanouk led the KR cause from the beginning when they were fighting with the lon nol gov't in the civil war that led up to the ultimate slaughter house of the KR when they took over power in cambodia in 1975. only after sihanouk saw to it that all his enemies died by execution, etc, did he finally resigned and handed over to khiev samphan to take over. i told those royal creeps are evil and greedy. in khmer history, these royals, especially ones that were in politics always fight among themselves as cambodia has no law to govern succession of royal, so as a result the royals fought with each other for power going back since the end of angkor up to when the french finally colonized and modernized cambodia during ang doung reign, you know. anyway, just an interesting snap of sad khmer history due to stupid, ignorant, greedy royal families fighting each other for the throne, etc. anyway, i'm sure time now has changed and cambodia is heading to a better future for sure. let's leave history behind us, instead focus more on building a better society and better economic future for cambodia and all khmer people and citizens.
i think over time, people will slowly lose interest in royal power as cambodia develops further and modernized in a big way with the rest of the developing world out there, really. please don't forget to always stay in school and get a good education as the future depends on people with good skills and good education, etc, etc, ok! god bless cambodia.
due to power, in cambodian history, the royals are always greedy and looked down on the people they governed. they always wanted to keep cambodian people uneducated and poor and they select only a handful of their supporters to have good education, etc... that's why in the past, cambodia under french lacked behiind many countries including siem and youn countries, all due to greedy, evil, selfish rulers. yes, it was the rulers who made khmer people suffered and humiliated throughout history. it's not the people of cambodia, it's their rulers. hope that will change permanently in the future of cambodia to come when people starting to wake up and see the world and stop being a zomby to these evil, selfish, narcissistic outdated, backward people called the rulers by the jungle law. cambodia should instead embrace the rule of law society from now on in order to build a better future for all to enjoy, you know.
i'm sick and tired to see my country lacked and stay poor like infrastructure, skyscrapers, shopping malls, airports, briges, lightrails, electricity, etc... i want to see cambodia develop to full capable by modernizing all of cambodia. khmer people deserve better standard of living, etc, you know. god bless cambodia.
we know with sihanouk, it was all about revenge, hatred, evil, selfish, greedy. cambodia was everything to him and nobody can have cambodia but him only. too bad, time is now catching up with him as nobody can live on this earth forever, so he better stop being greedy and selfish and evil now or he'll go like that pol pol with tires and rubbish burning in the pile of trash. god i hate greedy, ignorant, evil individual! i hope future generation of khmer people will all be smarter and less greedy and live under the rule of law forever from now on, unlike the past, sad history of cambodia with all that pains, suffering, death, chaos, etc... cambodia has a potential to be a land of paradise, so everyone should help to make cambodia that way in the future so all can enjoy, really. there are more to cambodia than just some greedy, evil, selfish ruler or leader(s), etc, you know. khmer people shouldn't have to suffer because of somebody else's doing, greeds, jealousy, evil acts, selfishness, ignorance, etc, etc, you know.
cambodia should strengthen the rule of law and introduce terms limit law for leaders of important position of public services say like in the EU or in america, etc. a leader shouldn't be allowed to have absolute power or permanent power again because it creates too much disorder and greeds and struggles and evil acts due to greeds and ignorance, mostly.
i think sihanouk will be the last of his kind, i.e. absolute ruler. the younger generation will be better educated to understand the importance of peace, prosperity, stability, economic growth, modernization, rule of law, and perhaps even the introduction of terms limits for leaders in higher positions, etc... i think greed, power struggle, etc will be the past in cambodia once everyone is educated enough to understand the world at large and once cambodia implemented a higher standard of living for the country and its country. of course, there is hope and cambodia has huge potential in all of this. yes, there are still a lot of works to be done and to be achieved, but it is do-able, really. put the right individual(s) in power, and it will be done right, you know. stop the greed and ignorance for a change to start with. god bless cambodia.
if all else fails, i think time will be on cambodia's side. thank god, nobody can live on earth forever, especially tyrants, and greedy, powerful individuals, etc... god bless cambodia.
sihanouk kill more preap inn chau bori sao ngoy and more people
khieu samphan you are HERO
you know, back in the old day when cambodia was all about sihanouk since independence from france, khmer people were afraid to criticize him. a few that had the guts to do so were executed; take preap inn, sam sary, etc for example. yes, sihanouk was the absolute ruler then. well, now he's very old, so, of course, he had to keep a low profile, hoping no one will notice. in khmer we say, trying to hide a dead elephant with the palm of your hand, see if it's possible to do. anyway, don't worry, he is the last of his kind as younger generation hated to be like him so they don't follow in his footstep as people became better educated as we say in khmer. sihanouk was evil, especially if you don't do like he said. i believe it was the old khmer way, very strict and mean and evil as in absolute monarchy, you know. in the old day going before the world became civilized and modernized, absolute monarchy would order an entire village to be executed due to someone else's mistake, crime or what have you. well, we can see where sihanouk came from, after all, we was royalty, then. of course, it is different now as the world is more civilized with rule of law, etc..., you see.
so hun sen is pale compare to sihanouk, the absolute monarchy, you know.
it sort to feed into the endless cycle if cambodia allows it. again, rule of law will ends it for sure along with terms limit of course. people will abuse power if the country let it.
Sihanoukl's hand full of blood. Speak up gentlemen. The world wanted to know more "What Went Wrong to Cambodia" during and before Pol Pot regime? Sihanouk must be summoned by Tribunal.
We must get rid of Royals and return Cambodia to Republic. Gentlemen's only Royals that benefits us is in the Angkor Period.
Viets, Chinese, enemies are using this institution as a cover for their gain on our beloved Cambodia.
Sihanouk must stand trial sick or not.
Khieu Samphan is good man! He is a Khmer hero and a Khmer patriot.
Sihanouk killed Hou Yon and Hu Nim
because they worked for the West.
I am agreeing with all the bloggers
who wanted Sihanouk to court.
The court should put Sihanouk in
jail for 3,000 years.
I really want to see that all Khmers around the world take being highly educated seriously so that our beloved Cambodia can have its citizens to depend on for its development and good governance, good rule of law and good democracy.
Remember, Samphan is highly educated too.
and what was that all about, the royal in cambodia always had many wives and wanted to be in politics! they produced many out of wed children and those children always fight among themselves to be king or queen, what was that all about? tradition, culture, etc? i say stupidity, ignorance, greedy, selfish, evil, unethical, unprofessional, uneducated, etc! what do you think?
To 5:41 AM
How about Cambodia becoming a republic like Singapore?
If the the king wants become a president, let the people decide at the ballot box.
How is that?
Don't forget about the Evil Communist Yuon Hanoi master-minded bastards who are main criminals and killers as well.
Get rid of the most corrupted Yuon CPP officials and Hun Sen in Cambodia because they have failed Cambodia/Srok Khmer for over 30 years from 1979 until today.
We need the Yuon CPP crooks and Hun Sen to pay back all the money they have illegally done dirty businesses in the blind eyes of Khmer people and international communities and also those Yuon CPP crooks and Hun Sen (including Hun Sen's Yuon wife and his family members) took the money from donors the billions of dollars and kept in their pockets. These Communist Yuon CPP crooks/leeches and Hun Sen have destroyed Cambodia Natural Resources and Yuon dirty businessmen and illegal Yuon settlers overtook everything from Cambodia to the Communist Yuon/Viet Hell Country.
Please Khmer people make loud noise and let our Khmer voices to be heard around the world. Let's march together in the world, Paris, the U.S. cities, Canada, European countries, Australia, and everywhere in the world. Let's set the dates and times.
Hu Nim , Hou Youn and Khieu Samphan they all closed and best friends and had a big contribution in fighting against corruption , unjustice in Khmer society since Sihanouk rigime in 1960s.
Not all Camboian love them but most Cambodian especially elderly in ages 60s up still regard these three are very good men let say Khieu Samphan never commited corruption even David Chandler agreed when he was interviewed by RFA in 2010.
Some or more followers of Sihanouk are Yuon/Viet born in Cambodia and in Srok Yuon. Watch out on those Yuon born in Srok Khmer who speak Khmer and who like the play games and fail Cambodia again. Keep an eye on illegal Yuon settlers.
Most of you agreed that Sihanouk is the killer and main Cambodia communist party leader, but to some Khmer in the USA. They are still regards Sihanouk as their god king.
They still admire him as the Cambodia hero. I don't blame these people because they're uneducated and low class people.
They can't see black and white or right and wrong.
We need to bring Sihanouk and Hun Sen to stand trial for killing Cambodian people.
This is the only way Sam Rainsy can be the next Khmer leader. If Hun Sen is not in prison, Sam Rainsy won't see the chance to become Cambodia president. Sam Rainsy won't win the election because Hun Sen has a lot of Youn or Vietcong people living in Cambodia to vote for him and Vietcong agents are in charge the election committee.
i think what you are talking about is called allies of a country, not some kind of foreign occupation or colony or something in that sense. look up the word ally and do educate yourself on the distinction and real meaning of that world. i think every country in the world has some sort of ally. i don't think it is right to say that cambodia is today still occupied by foreign power like youn or whatever, really. to say so is purely political bias, i think. i wish people would use the correct terms more instead of using fear and blame or political rhetorics, etc, you know. that's all!
allies and sympathizers are better descriptions than to say cambodia today is still occupied by foreign power, etc. i don't think so. it is like a business partner, nothing more, if we leave politics out of it.
Cambodia has been under full control of Hanoi since at least 1979.
How in hell are we going to take Cambodia from Viets and her puppets when they controled our defense department, courts, executive branch, parliaments, police, many provinces governments, don't forget Khmer body has Viets brain.
It is pretty dam hard to take back. I don't support violence take over, this will kill many innocent Cambodian peoples including Vietbamese peoples who just trying to make a living. Please people we must find a peaceful ways. We need a lot of well educate Khmers who can get world helps to take back our country non-violence ways. I don't know how. Hope someone find a way.
again, the rule of law helps e.g. strengthen immigration law, terms limits, etc... also, education and learn about the world in general and get to know the world and be open when it comes to knowledge, education, learning and so on. whatever you do, try to get education and be smart and avoid being ignorant. that's the first step. and learn to think for yourself and think outside of the box often, it's ok, really!
It is a great pity that Pol Pot left alive all the people that made comments before this one.
