Translated from Khmer by Heng Soy

Reach Sambath, ECCC spokesman, indicated that Nuon Chea, former Brother No. 2 of the Democratic regime who was incarcerated on Wednesday, can speak up to 5 languages. Nuon Chea is knowledgeable in French, Thai, Vietnamese, English and Chinese. However, of all these 5 languages, Chinese is the language he knows how to speak the least. Reach Sambath also said that Nuon Chea’s jail cell is one among a group of 8 cells located next to Kaing Kek Ieu’s, the former Tuol Sleng (S-21) prison chief. The ECCC facility contains altogether 14 cells, separated by a courtyard. Nuon Chea’s cell also has a courtyard for him to exercise every morning. He shares this courtyard with Duch also, except that the two have different exercise schedule.

KR Trial cannot be complete without arresting the current set up government, the cpp(Communist people party). Justice will not prevail. If you let the Vietcong, the killers of many lives holding the trial, KR Trial will be just a joke.

Dear compatriots

There were chinese andvietnamese experts in cambodia in KR period 1975-79 where there must be plenty of documents available from archive in china and vietnam.Those evidents are crucial to justice pursuited by ECCC and truly for khmer victims.Also important to have current key persons in government,those who have been top officials in the last three regimes to the witness stand while these accused KR are on trial.If that for sake of cambodians suffered, ECCC should investigate to that extend as well.
WELL WISHES TO ECCC FOR THE CAUSE OF JUSTICE.
