Letter to The Phnom Penh Post
Dear Editor,
The Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia handed down a reduced sentence of 19 years for Kaing Guek Eav, known as “Comrade Duch”. It is a slap on the wrist for a man responsible for crimes against humanity, which include the murders of as many as 14,000 people, including innocent men, women and children.
Cambodians are still living with reminders of the brutal Pol Pot regime. For those who has lived through one of the most vicious mass murders in history, the sentence is outrageous and beyond comprehension.
The Cambodian Centre for Human Rights welcomed the reduction in Duch’s sentence, as the result of the violation of his rights. They should be ashamed.
Innocent men, women and children were brutally tortured and killed by Duch. Were their lives meaningless to CCHR? How can such comments and the sentence itself be understand by victims and those who lost their love ones?
It is understandable that many wanted him to face the death penalty, even though capital punishment is illegal in Cambodia. The reduced sentence of 19 years for Duch is too lenient for such a vicious mass murder. Duch should at least serve a life sentence.
For those who have not experienced the utter violation of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, I hope they and their loved ones will never be forced to. How could such rights apply to Duch, but not to the 14,000 men, women and children who died by his orders?
For those who have lived and experienced such horrors, how could this sentence ever be considered justice? For them, it is just a slap on the wrist. Justice was not served for the people of Cambodia.

I totally agree when I think about Duch’s victims. However, CCHR is right if you regard the verdict as a tool for creating a better future for Cambodia. I think everybody should support that idea.

ReplyDeletethis is a fair critic!
ReplyDeleteI am a Cambodian American who lives in America. This Khmer Rouge Trial is nothing but a joke and a slap on the wrist. The many lives that have been taken under Khmer Rouge is not and will not be taken lightly, because we are talking about close to millions lives that were perished under this evil regime. To say that Duch was the only man that is responsible for this atrocity...I say FUCK YOU United Nation and FUCK YOU those who were involved with Khmer Rouge and presently working for Khmer Government. I wish I would never be borned again as Khmer, because this FUCKING RACE, although might not be all of them, but some of them, are nothing but a FUCKING, BLOOD SUCKING PARACITES. THIS FUCKING KHMER RACE, IF YOU LOOK INTO THE KHMER HISTORY WITHIN ITS CHRONOLOGY KEPT HIDDEN IN FRANCE, YOU WILL SEE THAT THEY HAVE KILLED EACH OTHER, EVEN THEIR OWN BROTHERS, SISTERS AND FATHER. THIS FUCKING COUNTRY KNOWN AS KHMER HAS NEVER BEEN IN PEACE SINCE THE THIRD CENTURY. THERE ARE MORE TO BE SAID, BUT ENOUGH IS ENOUGH AS FROM THIS KHMER ROUGE TRIAL. THEY DONT KNOW ANYTHING, THEY HAVE NO PLAN OF BRINGING ANYONE WHO WERE THE REAL POLICY MAKERS DURING THE KHMER ROUGH TO TRIAL. THE CHINESE, THE UNITED STATES, THE THAI,THE RUSSIA, THE VIETNAMESE, AND ABOVE ALL THE FUCKING ILITERATE LEADERS OF KAMPUCHEA. ENOUGH HAVE BEEN SAID. FUCK YOU, YOU PIECE OF SHIT. WHEN KHMER ROUGE TOOK POWER IN KAMPUCHEA I WAS ONLY 10 YEARS OLD, IT WAS THE PRECIOUS TIME OF MY LIFE, WHEN EDUCATION IS MY PRIME YEARS AND YOU FUCKING SO-CALLED LEADERS OF KAMPUCHEA HAVE DESTROYED JUST THAT. AND I HAVE TO SUFFER UNDER THIS EVIL REGIME THAT BROUGHT BY YOUR ILL INTENTIONS FOR ALL KHMERS. FOR THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN IN THE GOVERNMENT DURING THAT TIME, FUCK YOU AND YOUR FAMILY, BECAUSE YOU ARE APART OF THAT FUCKING SYSTEM THAT HELPED BROUGHT DESTRUCTION THIS FUCKING COUNTRY. AND FOR THOSE COWARDS WHO HAVE ESCAPED TO LIVE IN FRANCE, ENGLAND, UNITED STATES, OR ANYWHERE ELSE FOR THAT MATTER...MAY YOU BURN IN HELL AND I WISH YOU AND YOUR FAMILY WILL SERVERELY PUNICHED IN HELL FOR 1000
ReplyDeleteYEARS IN DARKNESS BEFORE YOU ARE ALLOWED TO BE REINCARNATE AS HUMAN AGAIN. WE DONT HAVE TO WISH WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO CAMBODIA, KAMPUCHEA OR KHMER, THIS LAND WILL BE BROUGHT UNDER THE NEW FEDERATION AS WE SPEAK. IN THE NEXT 50 YEARS THERE WOULD ONLY BE CHINA, INDOCHINA FEDERATION UNION AND THAILAND. YOU CAN FORGET ABOUT VIETNAM, LAOS OR CAMBODIA. EVERY FUCKING POLICIES WILL BE MADE IN HANOI AND DISSIMINATED INTO LAOS AND CAMBODIA. THIS REALIZATION IS HEADING THERE AS WE SPEAK. IT IS GOOD THAT THIS FUCKING KAMPUCHEA IS UNDER THE NEW LEADERSHIP OF VIETNAM. DONT BLAME THEM...BLAME YOUR FUCKING GREEDY BASTARDS FOR POWER WHICH BLINDED YOU AND CLOUDED YOUR JUDGEMENT TO DO ANYTHING THAT WOULD HELP SHAPE KAMPUCHEA INTO ANY MODERN ERA. VIETNAMESE CHILDREN ARE BEING BORNED INTO KHMERS AS WE SPEAK. THEY LEARN OUR LANGUAGE, SPEAK THE MOTHER TONGUE, FUCK OUR WOMEN, AND SOON, THERE IS NO MORE KHMER. IT WOULD JUST BE SINO-KHMER. YOU DESERVE EVERY BIT OF IT YOU FUCKING PIECE OF SHIT. YOUR DAYS ARE COUNTING. YOUR ANGKOR DOES NOT MEAN ANYTHING, BUT A USELESS STRUCTURES THAT WILL BE KEPT AS A DUMPING GROUND FOR THE SUPER ELITES.

"(Samak Mith) Duch (Kaing Guek Eav) 19 years sentence is too short and doesn't fit his crimes."
Samak Mith Yaem (Hor Namhong)
Prison Chief of Boeung Trabek prison
What's Hor Namhong trying to do is, he want the whole world to know that he is not a Khmer Rouge and a prison chief of Boeung Trabek prison.
Hor Namhong is a prison chief of Boeung Trabek prison.

Hor Namhong said to the French judge that he is not a prison chief of Boeung Trabek prison, in fact members of his family was killed by Khmer Rouge(s).
Hor Namhong can lies all he want, at the end, he got summoned and will get indict, prosecute, convict and sentence.
Criminals likes to lies.
The place where criminals lies the most is inside the court room in front of the judge(s).

I just google and notice that Khmer loves to suck cock both guys and girls. Khmer male loves to suck White tourists' cock to earn few bucks, bang their ass will pay the extra. Khmer girls love to marry Korean, Chinese men to practice being raped and gang bang. Ask your mother and wives, they sure love to and contact us at:

It is indeed,lives are cheap in Cambodia.Particularly for the innocents who are awaiting to be victimised.
ReplyDeleteIn very visible contrast,those who steal and maintain themselve in power are most expensive.
From the poors who struggle to feed, and to miles gap of the riches who take cambodia and cambodians for a ride.
what to blame is corruption?
What to blame is our mentality?
What to blame is our falsified kingdom.
It is a joke to have some as ministers for generations.
Hor Namhong,Kiet Chhon are specialised elites,untouchable?
Poors have NO room to live, but the riches have MORE rooms to expand.
After all,HEAVEN and HELL are in Cambodia.

I think this UN court is an insult to all khmer people, because it is a wast of time and money by putting the chicken in jail and let the BIG FISH go free. (Long Life Big Fat King)
ReplyDeleteyou know what I mean!
1:38am,
ReplyDeleteyou certainly have the right to your outrage about the Duch's verdict. I too am dissapointed with the verdict.
The plaques that brought disgrace to the Khmer race throughout history has its root in the values, beliefs, and attitude of the people.
When I think about the history of Cambodia I can't help but conclude that this country is under judgment from above and destined for destruction unless its people attitude and behavior is changed. A scary thought.
