“The new UN special envoy for human rights to Cambodia is in connivance with puppet Tribunal,the Puppet Assembly and the Vietnamese Puppet Hun Sen government to bury the truth concerning the human rights violation in Cambodia”
The special gifts that Hun Sen government, the Vietnamese Puppet was giving to Mr. Surya Subedi, the new UN special envoy for human rights to Cambodia during his first official visit to Cambodia are:
1. The lift of Parliamentary immunity of representatives Mr. Mu Sochua and Mr. Ho Vann of the opposition Party by the Assembly of pirates, Assembly of ghosts and Vietnamese Puppet Assembly.
2. The sentence handed down by the Phnom Penh municipal court, the Vietnamese puppet Court, which had fined and sentenced Mr. Hang Chakra, the editor-in-chief of The Khmer Machas Srok newspaper to a year's imprisonment.
3. Chuon Chou-ngy said: “Therefore, when they held the hearing, they speed up [the process] to hand out the sentence. Even without the presence of my client [Hang Chankra] and my request to delay the case, they didn’t agree to it.”On the legal process used by the Phnom Penh municipal court to sentence Hang Chakra to one year in jail and fined him 9 million riels ($2,25), Am Sam Ath said: “We can see that it can seriously affect the rights of journalists to express their opinion.”Am Sam Ath added that this is an intimidation on journalists and a restriction on the freedom rights of journalists. The court action was taken to set an example to all other newspapers that are still undecided about whether to express their opinions or not.Am Sam Ath said: “Therefore, the Appeal court must think about Mr. Hang Chakra’s case. The information law should be considered first before the criminal code is used.”Judge of the Phnom Penh municipal court and justice ministry officials could not be reached to explain about the legality of this court decision and sentence.On 26 June, Hang Chakra was sentenced following a lawsuit brought up by the government lawyer. He was accused of publishing false information and defamation after his newspaper reported a number of articles in April and May. These articles accused a number of government officials around deputy-PM Sok An of corruption.An alliance of Civil Society organizations and the Cambodian Club of Journalists issued two separate statements to express their concerns on the press freedom in Cambodia, they were also disappointed that the court did not use the newly-adopted information law in this case.The threat of the Vietnamese puppet government obliging Co-Prosecutor Mr. Robert Petit of the Extraordinary Chambers of the Courts of Cambodia (ECCC) to resign.
4. The useT The use of the Police and the armed forces of the Vietnamese authority to rig up workers and demonstrators in Phnom Penh.
All the above proves quite well the flagrant violation of human rights of the Vietnamese puppet government against its own people. All the above was also a gift to the new UN special envoy for human rights to Cambodia.
It would be better for Mr. Surya Subedi to learn the experience of his predecessor Yash Ghai
The soft approach of Mr. Surya Subedi of leveling no direct criticism of the Vietnamese puppet Cambodian government's human rights violation is an expression of cowardice of Mr. Surya Subedi. This would tarnish the reputation of the UN which represents the hope of Cambodia people.
By not speaking out the truth Mr. Surya Subedi, not only is afraid of losing his job for being forced to resign as did Mr. Yash Ghai, in fact, is hiding the truth about the flagrant violation of human rights in Cambodia, consequently, encouraging the Vietnamese puppet government to arrest, sue, and eliminate Cambodian democrats and nationalists.
