Retired King Prepared To Testify at KR Tribunal
By Yun Samean
The Cambodia Daily
Despite stating his opposition to the Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia earlier this month, retired King Norodom Sihanouk said in a statement that he was prepared to testify at the tribunal. "I am not lacking the courage to go to answer before the tribunal," the retired King wrote in a statement posted on his Web site on Monday and dated July 15. "My family, my wife's family and many people who supported Norodom Sihanouk were tortured and killed by Khmer Rouge Pol Pot." Information Minister Khieu Kanharith said the government does not want the retired King to appear before the tribunal, calling him the symbol of national unity. "He should not stand before the court; it will affect the national symbol," Khieu Kanharith said.

Dear Sihanouk!!
You are the most clairvoyant leader of Khmer Rouge which has result in killing more than three millions of your former enemies in Cambodia. Therefore, I call you to have your courage to defense yourself what kind of right you have to kill these people. You must stand up as high as when you call your khmer rouge armies to kill your opposition. You was the No 1 leader of Khmer rouge. God will condemn you.
What is khieu Kanharith said was a trick to prevent retired King Norodom Sihanouk from testifies at the tribunal becaue they know would open the worn. They tried to cover up for long time.what is CPP want just dump all the killing were commited during Khmer Roug to Pol Pot alone and they will walk away with clean hand. If we want to find justic for cambodian people. We need to open up.who behind the killing otherwhy don’t do it .

By Khmer Rouge army and forced to evacuated all people from the city to country side.
