| Saloth Ban |

Nuon Chea’s defence counsel yesterday attempted to implicate Finance Minister Keat Chhon and Foreign Affairs Minister Hor Namhong for their alleged roles during the reign of the Khmer Rouge, but the line of questioning they took with Pol Pot’s nephew was repeatedly blocked by the presiding judge.
Michiel Pestman quizzed Saloth Ban, who has been on the stand for six days, about Keat Chhon accompanying then-King Norodom Sihanouk on an official visit as figurehead of Democratic Kampuchea to the UN secretary-general in October, 1975.
But Saloth Ban, who worked under Case 002 co-accused Ieng Sary at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, was blocked by trial chamber president Nil Nonn from answering almost any question concerning Keat Chhon or Hor Namhong.
“The witness is instructed not to answer this question, it is irrelevant,” was Nil Nonn’s oft-repeated order.
Pestman persisted with putting questions to the witness, including asking him whether Hor Namhong was chairman of the Khmer Rouge prison Boeung Trabek.
“I only knew that he was at Boeung Trabek; he was sent by Pang to be there,” Saloth Ban said. “I never remember having heard he became the chairman of a place.”
Pestman then asked Saloth Ban why Hor Namhong had received preferential treatment by the regime, including being given a villa near the Independence Monument in the capital.
He also asked Pol Pot’s nephew whether he was afraid of these men and whether Prime Minister Hun Sen had instructed the two ministers to not give testimony to the court.
Court investigators summonsed Keat Chhon, Hor Namhong and other senior government officials as witnesses in 2009, but the summonses were not obeyed.
Nil Nonn blocked Saloth Ban from answering this line of questioning.
Pestman protested that he was using this line of questioning to investigate political interference in Case 002 and also to challenge the credibility of the witness.
Counsel for former foreign affairs minister Ieng Sary and ex-president Khieu Samphan took turns questioning Saloth Ban, who gave confusing testimony.

Nil Nonn is the fucking Yuon bastard who is playing as Khmer judge role to serve his real Yuon/Vietnamese killers of Killing Fields.
This Yuon bastard Nil Nonn secretly plays Khmer judge role or Khmer president of ECCC who fluently speaks, writes and reads Khmer/Cambodian language so well. What the fuck is this Yuon bastards doing to serve his Yuon/Vietnamese killers who killed millions of very well educated Khmer people during the Killing Fields when Pol Pot was toppled by his secret Yuon/Veitcong agents or cadres from Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh. Knowing that Cambodian is still under the Yuon/Vietnamese control, many your Khmer people have been allowed fully to access to unlimited higher educations in Universities in Cambodia and not allowed to learn the real history in Cambodia. What the fuck is CPP government full of Yuon/Vietnamese folks like him working in a very high positions in Cambodia?
Wanna shoot this Yuon bastard Nil Nonn and his evil Yuon family members if they do not pack that belongings and go back to his home in Hanoi.
This Yuon bastard Nil Nonn deserved to be thrown with human and cow poops into his Yuon face. This Yuon bastard is still here to dream about money and the land of Cambodia.
Wanna shoot this Yuon bastard Nil Nonn badly.

Don't curse Nil Nonn a small Cambodian man (small man means a person who has no power, no nothing but to live to survive).
Can you see even Hun Sen who has so many secret men/women protecting him, he too is followed by the agents of the Vietnamese every where he goes.
It's the work of Communist Hanoi.
Mr. Keat Chhon and Mr. Hor Nam Hong are not only the two Vietnamese agents who depth penetrating inside Cambodia administrative.
There are so many more in all political stripes. Nil Nonn has no power nor he has any small authority to face against the Vietnamese expansionism, but to serve the Vietnamese' supremacy.
back then, people who supported sihanouk's call to struggle in cambodia supported the KR regime in some way, at least in the beginning until they woke up and realized that they too are living in fear of their lives because pol pot, the "absolutist" will try to incriminate them and had people executed indiscriminately during his stupid KR regime. even sihanouk himself later realized that he supported the wrong type of regime that almost cost his life as well. everyone was in on the same boat stuck in the middle of the stormy seas then. that's what it was all about, purifying the commy's idealogy from civilization back to the stone age under the primitive KR regime, you know. everyone was in it together from sihanouk et al. it was evil, deceptive and living in fear all the time, all victims of primitive society, you know. those who escaped live to tell, while millions of others not no chance whatsoever. where is the justice in all of this madness of this world?
It was and is OUR faults to be victims of Viet expansionism.
We must fight back.
Stop worrying about the so called
" Vietnamese' supremacy "
A bullet blows up their brains just like
any others !!!
To win a war on the battlefields, we must win
the war in our HEAD FIRST.
The essential weapon that we need, and never had in our history is KHMER UNITY.
Yes Khmers definately will win the war against Yuon, if and only if we unite and
fight as ONE.
CHEY JOH KAMPUCHA !!!
