A week after a damning report by ASEAN parliamentarians on the government’s attacks on the opposition, the state-run Cambodian Human Rights Committee said the assessment was flawed and failed to acknowledge the prime minister’s record on human rights for which he deserves a Nobel Peace Prize, the body’s president said.

 

The ASEAN Parliamentarians for Human Rights’ (APHR) Death Knell for Democracy report last week called the government’s systematic use of the judiciary and the National Assembly to target the opposition an attempt to dismantle democratic principles in the country.

 

Keo Remy, head of the government-aligned committee, held a press conference yesterday dismissing the report, saying the APHR did not represent the views of ASEAN and was going against the bloc’s policy of noninterference.

Nobel Peace Prize for hun sen ?  Too early guys, April 1st is a few days away haha. This thug should have been given the bums rush many years ago.

Hun Sen was a strongman for the Kymer Rouge. He was responsible for the killing of thousands. Mass relocation of countless souls. The burning of textbooks, and the closing of universities. Now, as PM, he has systematically stolen millions of acres of land, so he and his cronies could amass billions of dollars. He has ordered countless assassinations, and locked up his political opponents at whim. He is not running a democracy, and both the US and the EU are giving him a free pass. He deserves all the criticism he gets. And more.

 

A Nobel Peace prize? How about a life sentence in prison? He is far more deserving of the latter. 

Almost all the senior and not so senior people in the Cambodian govt. are ex khmer rouge who have evaded prosecution and are now flat out reraping the country for their own profit.
