| Former Khmer Rouge head of state Khieu Samphan was admitted to hospital in Cambodia on Wednesday, a court official said, becoming the second ageing war crimes suspect taken ill within days. |

The 81-year-old was rushed from his detention facility at Phnom Penh's UN-backed war crimes court to hospital Wednesday morning due to "weakness, fatigue and shortness of breath," court spokesman Lars Olsen told AFP.
"He will remain at the hospital under observation for the time being," he said, adding he was undergoing tests by doctors.
"We don't know how long he will be at the hospital," Olsen added.
Khieu Samphan, Khmer Rouge "Brother Number Two" Nuon Chea, and the regime's foreign minister Ieng Sary are currently on trial for alleged atrocities during the 1975-1979 regime's murderous rule.
Nuon Chea, 86, was hospitalised on Sunday with "acute bronchitis," prompting judges at the court to suspend trial proceedings this week and renewing fears for the much-delayed legal process.
The trio of top former Khmer Rouge leaders deny charges including war crimes and genocide from their roles in a regime blamed for the deaths of up to two million people.
Health fears have long hung over the UN-backed tribunal with the octogenarian defendants all suffering a variety of ailments.
The regime oversaw one of the worst horrors of the 20th century, wiping out nearly a quarter of the population through starvation, overwork and execution in a bid to forge a communist utopia.

Khieu Samphan, Hou Nim and Hou Youn.
For minority of Cambodian they see Khieu Samphan, Hou Nim and Hou Youn are evils.
For majority of Cambodian especially elderly Khmer people who age 50s up they see Khieu Samphan, Hou Nim and Hou Yuon are very good men :
The men who never committed corruption ( even David chandler agreed that Khieu Samphan never committed corruption when he ( David Chandler interview by RFA in 2010 ).
The men who have no money both ouside and inside the bank.
The man as a minister of commerce in 1963 riding a bicycle to work as minister of commerce under Sihanouk regime and after Khieu Samphan became minister of commerce in Cambodia his mother still selling Cheng ang ( traditional Cambdodan dried bananas ) on the street in Phnom Penh.
Thank you Mr. Khieu Samphan for your last constributions in 1991 Paris peace agreement for the country.
Thank you Mr.Khieu Samphan for you contribution and taking part in fighting against yuon Hanoi ambition known as Indochina Federation to exterminate Khmer ethnics and to put Lao and Cambodia under yuon yoke.
And many Cambodian agree with me that this ECCC is strongly under yuon Hanoi influent and this ECCC will convict Khieu Samphan and Nuon Chea and put both of them in jail for lives, not because of killing so many Cambodian as they accused between 1975-1979 because of Nuon Chea and Khieu Samphan protecting Cambodian and Cambodia from becaming second Kampuchea-Krom.
Dear all Khmer ,
Let me share the following with you to judge it yourself.
Most Khmer or most Cambodian we all know that:
Ah late Ho Chi Minh created Yuon Communist Party in 1930.
1941 ah yuon communist party created yuon Viet Minh .
1946-1953 youn Viet Minh who created Khmer Viet Minh to fight against French colony in Cambodia to remove French colony and replace Indochina Federation of ah Ho Chi Minh to put Lao and Cambodia under yuon yoke.
1951 yuon Hanoi changed its party name from Vietnamese Communist Party to the Vietnamese Worker Party and named Khmer Viet Minh Group to The Khmer People's Revolutionary Party or KPRP, KPRP was the old name of CPP , so KPRP created by yuon Hanoi before 1951 and named it as KPRP in 1951.
So it is very clear that yuon Hanoi created CPP ( so CPP was a group of former Khmer Viet Minh created by , and installed to power by yuon Hanoi to exterminate ethnics Cambodian and to put Lao and Cambodia under yuon Hanoi yoke.
As some Cambodian know these former Khmer Viet Minh are :
1. Heng Samrin.
2. Chea Sim.
3. So Phim.
4. Keo Meas.
5. Pen Sovann.
6. Chan Si.
7. Chea soth.
8. And many, many more.
So above is real story for Khmer people must know because real Khmer history has been twisting around and Khmer has been in great danger by yuon Hanoi ambition know as Indochina Federation to exterminate Khmer ethnics and to put Lao and Khmer under yuon yoke as they already did to Laos.
