Theary Seng, president of Association of Khmer Rouge Victims in Cambodia (AKRVC) to ABC News today: "...the KRT is a Justice Fantasyland..." after other members of AKRVC told their stories.
ABC News: Who do you blame for this? For example, is Australia as a donor complicit?
Theary Seng: "...the Cambodian government, with the most senior officials having been former KR cadres, but everyone already knows this and we didn't expect much. But what we didn't expect to this degree is the complicity of the UN and the donor community... At first, donors were apathetic, letting the government have full control of the wheel; now the donors are proactively complicit in doing everything to whitewash this failure into a success; they have to, as they are already in too deep. They cannot accept the reality that is is a failure and they should abandon it. They have other interests they need to protect here -- economic and political interests; they use the justice and human rights language as a disguise to further these other primary political and economic interests.

It screw up! Don't let the real Khmer/Cambodian history fall down or be erased by the Vietnamese master-minded monsters and replace replace the fake history for gullible Khmer people and foreigners to read.
Need to be reliable and again don't screw up.
Yes, agree with what Khmer Rouges leaders said is real, but the victims of Khmer Rouges had no ideas. They did not take time to understand what the real troubles behind all the Killing Fields from 1975 to 1979, especially the Yuon/Vietcong/Vietnamese master-mind leaders in Hanoi including dead and evil Ho Chi Minh who involved the bad situations from the first places.
We don't like Nuon Chea, Khiev Samphan, Ieng Sary (including his wife) either, but we like them to tell the truths about what happened and we are fond of them (KR leaders). We need to protect our land and natural resources including the victims and educate the Khmer people and victims of KR Killing Fields.
