Letter to The Phnom Penh Post
Dear Editor,
But personally, I don’t have faith, and I don’t believe or count on the United Nations’ tribunals obtaining justice for Cambodian victims.
The tribunal is focusing on Tuol Sleng prison (S-21) for the majority of the evidence to prosecute former Khmer Rouge leaders, including Duch, Ieng Sary, Kieu Samphan, Ieng Thirith and Nuon Chea.
But it is forgetting or ignoring a key player, former Khmer Rouge head of state Norodom Sihanouk.
Shame on the UN for wrongly focusing on S21, which was a prison for higher-ranking cadres of the Khmer Rouge’s revolution members. It had little to do with the real victims of the Khmer Rouge regime. S21 prison spilled only a little innocent Cambodian blood.
Again, shame on the UN. In 1979 there were at least a million Cambodians, I and my family included, who fled Cambodia after the Vietnamese invasion.
Many refugees had told the UN that the Khmer Rouge regime was a killing machine. But the UN ignored them and instead harboured the Khmer Rouge by allowing them to retain a seat at the UN from 1979 through 1991, even though they were no longer in power.
Justice has yet to be served 31 years after the collapse of the Khmer Rouge regime.
The Vietnamese installed the same Khmer Rouge cadres as puppet leaders, and about 85 percent are still ruling Cambodia today.

I really want justice for 73 members of my family, the majority of them executed without evidence of wrongdoing.

agree that the s21 was just a tiny drop of the atrocity in cambodia. it was the entire population and country of cambodia that was imprisoned and trapped and killed under the KR backward ideology. please listen to the survivors, we are the living witnesses to all of this. almost all khmer refugees who now lived overseas lived through it and witnessed and suffered the direct blow of the KR killing machine. yes, the survivors are the true eyewitnesses. it's not fabricate, it is the truth, a painful truth when we talked about it, really!
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.

1:39 AM USC I share your feeling about the verdict of this tribunal.
ReplyDeleteFrom the start i have no confident on this court based on interferrence by the Hun Sen's regime. It seems they set the limit on justice and the UN keeps negotiating with the regime to find the compromise level for the anticipated outcome thus there would be no REAL JUSTICE for Khmer victims. So we khmer innocence should learn from this not to let khmer stupid leaders lead us to destruction like this again. We have to find ways to salvage our country. Hope all true khmer will meet together someday.
What about the former khmer rouges who escaped to the 3rd countries, they need to be on trial too, don't they?

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.

UN SECURITY COUNCIL (USC),
you're an idiot,
you don't even know who is khmer,
someone born in Cambodia, speak Khmer, learn Khmer, fuck Khmer, make Khmer baby, this one is 100% Khmer.
BUT you, you're not Khmer, you are fucking American. Dump.
To 5:21 AM,
ReplyDeletePerhaps you dont quite clearly understood what the fuck I am saying. Learn your histories, because there arent any...Khmer Rouge has destroyed everything. They have burnt books, reports, essay, chronologies, and even killed many professors, so Khmer can go back to as far as 100 years behind the Viets and the Thais. Open your eyes, listen with your ears and watch how things are progressing. Soon, your stupid fucking ignorant bastard will learn something. Dont come in here and start to bark without knowing your sources. Better yet, ask your fucking parents, if you have one or maybe Khmer Rouge has killed them as well. You fucking piece of shit.

You stupid morron Savun Neang. Let us look at the historical facts. Sihanouk was never a Khmer Rouge head of state. He was head of the Royal Khmer Gouvernment in exile (GRUNK) from 1970 to 1975 to help liberate Cambodia from Lon Nol and its American allies. After April 17 victory over the American supported Lon Nol regime, the Khmer Rouge put Sihanook under house arrest and Pol Pot became the real master of Cambodia from 1975 to 1979. Wise up man. Stop the lies.
ReplyDelete6;55AM, How do you know that he is in house arrest? Are you the one who put him in house arrest? If so, you must be the BIG TIME KILLER, ARE YOU?
ReplyDelete6:55 AM
ReplyDeleteI DONT KNOW WHERE YOU GET YOUR EDUCATION FROM, WHO TAUGHT YOU, WHAT UNIVERSITIES YOU HAVE ATTENDED, OR WHERE YOU ARE RESIDING, BUT ONE THING FOR SURE, YOU HAVE NOT BEEN PROPERLY INFORMED. I URGE YOU TO DO MORE RESEARCH AND LOOK IN THE RIGHT PLACES AND SOON YOU WILL SEE AND KNOW THE TRUTH ABOUT CERTAIN LEADERS IN KAMPUCHEA. HERE IS A SIMPLE ANALOGY FOR YOU, "IF IT SMELLS LIKE SHIT, IT IS MOSTLY LIKEY SHIT." IN THIS SENSE, WITHOUT SIHANOUK THERE WOULD NOT BE KHMER ROUGE, WITHOUT CHINA THERE WOULD NOT BE KHMER ROUGE, WITHOUT THAILAND THERE WOULD NOT BE KHMER ROUGE, WITHOUT VIETNAM THERE WOULD NOT BE KHMER ROUGE, WITHOUT UNITED STATES THERE WOULD NOT BE KHMER ROUGE. AS YOU CAN SEE FROM THIS LITTLE INSTANCES, YOU CAN SEE THAT ANYONE COULD BE LIABLED FOR THE ATROCITY IN KAMPUCHEA. BUT ABOVE ALL ELSE, SIHANOUK WAS THE ONE WHO REFUSED TO COME BACK TO CAMBODIA TO TAKE HIS POSITION, BUT INSTEAD, HE HAS REQUESTED AND APPOINTED LON NOL TO TAKE HIS PLACE, BECAUSE THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE IN KAMPUCHEA WHO HATED SIHANOUK AND DISLIKES WHAT HE IS DOING TO KAMPUCHEA UNDER HIS REIGN. SIHANOUK AS KING, HAS KILLED MANY KHMER HEROES, BUT NO ONE DARE TO SAY ANYTHING TO HIM BECAUSE THEY AFRAID OF LOSING THEIR LIFE AND THEIR WEALTH BY AGREEING WITH EVERYTHING SIHANOUK SAID. I THINK IS SIFFICIENT FOR YOU TO DIGEST FOR NOW. LEARN THE TRUTH AND THE TRUTH SHALL OPEN YOUR EYES.
