The Phnom Penh Post
Foreigners working at the Khmer Rouge tribunal were responsible for embroiling the court in chaos that was akin to incitement, government officials said yesterday at a snap news conference.
Press and Quick Reaction Unit deputy president Keo Remy called the conference to attack criticisms of alleged public statements by Prime Minister Hun Sen about the guilt of one of the tribunal’s three elderly accused, who are being tried for crimes against humanity and war crimes.
“There is nothing wrong in expressing that Nuon Chea is a killer and was involved in genocide during the Pol Pot regime,” Keo Remy told about 10 journalists.
“[Nuon Chea defence lawyer Michiel Pestman] is taking the opportunity to bring in political issues at the KR tribunal to cause chaos,” he said, adding: “I found that the chaos was always made by some foreigners [at the tribunal].
“We will not surrender to incitement caused by a small group of foreigners,” he said, adding that comments by court monitor Open Society Justice Initiative in Monday’s Post show they consistently back those doing the inciting.
Keo Remy said Hun Sen continued to consider his legal options in response to Michiel Pestman’s call for the tribunal to “officially condemn” the premier’s statements.
Government attorney Key Tech told the Post: “There is still no official discussion. I will wait to see.’’
No motion from the Nuon Chea defence team calling on the Trial Chamber to prevent the premier making further prejudicial comments on Case 002 was publicly available by deadline yesterday.
Tribunal legal affairs spokesman Lars Olsen said the admissibility of any such motion would be up to the Trial Chamber to determine.
Michiel Pestman could not be reached for comment yesterday.

Ki-Media,
Would please post the picture of Keo Remy. He is a trouble maker and working for Vietnamese puppet Hun Sen and serving his evil Vietnamese bosses in Hanoi.
Key Tech sounds very suspicious.
We (Khmer people) want to know the truth about what happened to genocide of Killing Fields. It is not about just indictment or conviction or guilty without the hearing and knowing how, why and what happened to the Killing Fields.
It is not alright that troublemakers, Keo Remy and Key Tech, are working the corrupted CPP Hun Sen and paid to screw justice and hearing. Again, it is not OK for these two troublemakers.
Thank you for your hard work.
It is Ok for Hun Sen to express his opinion about the accused at the eccc. BUT it is not OK for the jurists at the eccc to even contemplate investigating any form of association between the accused and his former associates such as Heng Samrin, Chea Sim and Hun Sen.
Childish!!!
KICK THE FOREIGNERS OUT AND WE WILL BE GOOD AGAINT AS HAPPEN IN 17 JANUATY 1979 TO 1992!!!
YEJ JO CPP!!!
