  • Prime Minister Sends Park Packing
    Phnom Penh Post - Prime Minister sends park packing A 2013 Cambodia National Rescue Party at Freedom Park. Vireak Mai Prime Minister sends park packing Wed, 7 December 2016 Lay Samean Freedom Park, the 1-hectare public square in the centre of Phnom Penh that the government in November 2010 designated as the city’s sole authorised zone for protests, is set to be moved next to a petrol warehouse along National Road 5, officials said yesterday. The relocation was first announced in a morning speech by Prime Minister Hun Sen, who said moving the protest zone to the outskirts would help beautify the city. Yet the opposition CNRP, which has made liberal use of the park in the past, criticised the decision. Speaking at the 18th Disabled Persons’ Day at Koh Pich, Hun Sen said he had been in contact with Phnom Penh’s governor about the effort to move Freedom Park somewhere less visible, adding that the relocation would have no impact on freedom of expression. “Recently, I called Pa Soche-atvong, because now we will perhaps not keep Freedom Park in the middle of the capital creating problems. [Interior Minister] Sar Kheng told Pa Socheatvong to look for a new Freedom Park,” Hun Sen told his audience. “It will possibly be on National Road 5, at Kilometre 6, and we will transform that location into a public park,” he said. “The gatherings will not be different from the current ones, since people don’t go to look there, they watch it via broadcasts or Facebook.” City Hall spokesman Mean Chanyada said authorities had not settled on the exact location along National Road 5 for the new Freedom Park but that a large Sokimex gas station not far from the Chroy Changvar bridge was the preferred location.

  • Critics Say Nixing of Forest Land Titles Could Create Chaos
    Critics Say Nixing of Forest Land Titles Could Create Chaos Sok Khemara, VOA Khmer | Washington, DC Wednesday, 28 December 2011 Photo: AP Cambodia’s land issues cannot be solved by local leaders, who have for a long time exchanged land certification for bribes, said Kem Sokha, leader of Human Rights Party. “No one on any day is paying attention to the laws, but [they are] listening only to the prime minister.” Prime Minister Hun Sen has called for the nullification of land certificates in protected natural areas, but opposition lawmakers and rights groups say the edict will create widespread chaos and demonstrates Cambodia’s inability to follow the rule of law. Land issues have emerged as one of Cambodia’s biggest problems, with disputes over tracts of land across the country leading to protests, violent demonstrations and arrests. “Leadership today has caused anarchy and turmoil in society,” said Kem Sokha, president of the minority opposition Human Rights Party. “They don’t know whether to catch the head or the tail at all, if one just follows orders, follows the word of the prime minister, who acts arbitrarily and disappears. Keeping the issues for the lower levels to pursue, they can’t pursue them.” Cambodia’s land issues cannot be solved by local leaders, who have for a long time exchanged land certification for bribes, he said. An unclear land law and the decentralization of power will startle people when combined with an announcement from the prime minster to nullify land certificates in protected areas, Kem Sokha said. Speaking at a visit to a new hydroelectric dam in Pursat province on Monday, Hun Sen said he wanted to nullify land certificates in protected areas to strengthen conservation and prevent powerful officials from buying land in illegal areas.

  • Campaign Season Has Begun, Unofficially, Monitors Note
    Campaign Season Has Begun, Unofficially, Monitors Note 01 June 2013 Sok Khemara, VOA WASHINGTON — Election monitors and analysts say the ruling party and the opposition have begun an unofficial campaign, as a war of words heats up well ahead of the official campaign period. In recent weeks, Prime Minister Hun Sen and top opposition official Kem Sokha have engaged in a public debate, using speeches and the media to attack each other and to push their parties’ agendas. In the latest round, Hun Sen says he supports a demonstration against Kem Sokha, who has become embroiled in a controversy after statements he allegedly made about the Khmer Rouge torture center of Tuol Sleng. Ruling party officials say they have a recording of Kem Sokha, who is the vice president of the Cambodia National Rescue Party, claiming that the Vietnamese had staged or exaggerated the atrocities that took place at the Khmer Rouge prison, angering some victims of the regime. The controversy comes ahead of an official campaign period, but election monitors say the most recent spate of verbal attacks marks an unofficial beginning to the election season. It also coincides with the drafting of a ruling party strategy document for the elections in direct response to the opposition. This week, Hun Sen said he would support a demonstration that demands an apology from Kem Sokha over his alleged Tuol Sleng comments. Critics say the prime minister is attempting to discredit the opposition ahead of July’s national elections by stoking anger over the alleged remarks. “A huge demonstration will happen, and not just in Phnom Penh, but in the whole country, if the person doesn’t make an apology,” Hun Sen said at a pagoda inauguration in Kampong Cham Wednesday.

I had been deprived of all my education, the dreams that I would like to be highly educated. But these dreams were destroyed by the darkest period of the Khmer Rouge. - Yim Sovann, Civil Party * I. OVERVIEW This week, the Trial Chamber heard testimonies from three Civil Parties and two witnesses. The testimonies mainly focused on experiences during the evacuation of Phnom Penh, as well as the tough conditions immediately following the first evacuation. The testimonies also touched on the treatment of Lon Nol soldiers and hospital patients during the first evacuation. The Chamber heard legal arguments and issued two important rulings this week: First, the Court ruled that Civil Parties may state the suffering they endured during the entire Democratic Kampuchea regime, instead of having Civil Parties limit their statements to those relevant to events covered in Trial One of Case 002. Second, the Chamber ruled that Parties may not question witnesses based on expert witness analysis, if that expert has yet to appear before the Court. II. SUMMARY OF CIVIL PARTY AND WITNESS TESTIMONIES The Chamber heard a statement about the suffering of Ms. Yim Sovann, who was examined by Parties the previous week.1 Two new Civil Parties, Mr.

Ambassador Michel Kafando President of the United Nations Security Council Permanent Representative of Burkina Faso to the United Nations 866 United Nations Plaza, Suite 326/327 A New York, NY 10017, U.S.A Fax: 1(212) 308 4690 H.E. Mr. Ban Ki-moon Secretary-General of the United Nations United Nations New York, NY 10017, U.S.A Fax: 1(212) 963 2155, 1(212) 963 1185 Via facsimile Your Excellencies, On behalf of 442 Members of Parliament from 29 countries around the world, we are writing to urge the United Nations Security Council to launch an investigation into crimes against humanity committed by the military regime in Burma (Myanmar) and to impose a global arms embargo on that regime. Such action is long overdue. Burma’s military regime has carried out brutal attacks on its own people for decades. According to the Thailand Burma Border Consortium (TBBC), a humanitarian agency providing aid to Burmese refugees and displaced persons for 25 years, through these attacks, the regime has destroyed over 3,500 ethnic minority villages in eastern Burma since 1996. Here, at least 75,000 people were forced to leave their homes during this past year alone, and more than half a million people remain internally displaced. TBBC has described the situation in Burma as being comparable to the situation in Darfur. Furthermore, these crimes against humanity in Burma are well documented by various UN bodies, although none of them have taken effective action.

OVERVIEW Returning from the break for the Pchum Ben Festival, the Trial Chamber held scheduled document hearings on Thursday and Friday. The Prosecution continued their presentation of documents from the previous week, and was followed by the Civil Parties. Although only the Nuon Chea Defense elected to present documents, all Defense Teams participated in the proceedings through vigorous objections and submissions, mostly relating to the parameters and purpose of the document hearing. With the document hearing ending sooner than anticipated, the Chamber called Civil Party Yim Sovann to the stand on Friday afternoon. She testified on her experience of the years leading to and during the DK, particularly focusing on her family’s evacuation from Phnom Penh in 1975 and from Kandal Province in 1976. II. Yim Sovann’s Testimony Civil Party, Yim Sovann, offered the first testimony on evacuation in Case 002/1/3 on Friday.1 She testified mainly on her family’s evacuation from Phnom Penh to Kandal Province and, later on, to Pursat Province.
