PRETTY MUCH,THE JOKE OF TRIALS: eccc.gov.kh/en/all-cases

By: kebuL, The Historian

IF MEAS MUTH IS NOT PROSECUTED, ETERNAL SHAME ON ECCC!!! THEY WERE TOLD FROM THE BEGINNING THAT LOWER CADRE WILL NOT BE PROSECUTED... SO WHY WASTE SO MUCH TIME AND RESOURCES? DUH, DUH, DUH AND WOW, WOW, WOW!!! JUST TO SHOW OFF AND POCKET MORE MONEY? THAT IS BEYOND DISGUSTING AND HURTFUL TO THE VICTIMS. OLD WOUNDS HAVE BEEN REOPENED!!! HOWEVER, MEAS MUTH IS NOT LOWER CADRE AND CAMBODIAN JUDGES NEED TO RECOGNIZE THIS AS HE IS ONE OF THE MOST RESPONSIBLE LEADERS FOR THE KHMER ROUGE CRIMES!!!

Drop case #4 and just proceed with case #3. This will give western prosecutors psychological edge and when Cambodian judges see that there is no case #4; they will be inclined to proceed with case #3 (aka 003).

Meas Muth must be tried because he is most responsible. He was the navy commander who did unspeakable crimes, including delivering prisoners for torture, execution chambers like S-21 prison!!!

It's important to get Meas Muth at least as more justice is needed and this ECCC monkey court needs to save its face. More truth needs to be exposed; more history needs to be written!!! This trial will not result in civil war as Cambodian authorities and its idiot leader Hun Sen claim, DUH!!! Meas Muth is also responsible for at least 11 deaths of people outside of Cambodian/Vietnamese territory who strayed into Cambodian waters.

Meas Muth alias Achar Nen - Case 003

The investigation in Case 003 focuses on the crimes committed by Meas Muth, high-ranking member of the Revolutionary Army of Kampuchea (RAK) during the period from 17 April 1975 to 6 January 1979. Meas Muth was the Commander of Division 164, the largest division of the RAK that included the command of entire Navy, was a reserve member of the General Staff Committee and was the Secretary of the Kampong Som Autonomous Sector (which reported directly to the Party Center). Center for Justice & Accountability represents 76 Civil Party applicants to the Case 003 proceedings. It was headquartered in the Kampong Saom area, with bases in several ports along the sea coast and on islands in the Gulf of Siam. Meas Muth had command of 10 000 forces.

On 18 November 2018, the Co-Investigating Judges issues their Closing Orders. The National Co-Investigating issued an order dismissing all the charges against MEAS Muth on the ground that he is not one of the most responsibles for the crimes committed during the Khmer Rouge regime. Conversly, the International Co-Investigating Judge found MEAS Muth to be one of the most responsibles for war crimes and genocide and indicted him under the charges of genocide of the Thai and Vietnamese, Crimes against humanity, war crimes and homicide under the 1956 Cambodian Penal Code. As Navy commander Meas Muth had sufficient authority and culpability to be considered “most responsible". As Navy Commander, Meas Muth also delivered prisoners to the execution sites, including infamous S-21 prison and torture center whose commander was Duch, born Kaing Guek Eav was found guilty on running the prison and was also found guilty on all charges and served multiple life sentences like Nuon Chea, Pol Pot's right hand and Khmer Rouge's chief ideologist.

Unlike Case 004/2, all five PTC (Pre-Trial Chamber) judges found that the Indictment against Meas Muth is valid and legal, but there was no supermajority order specifically sending the case file to the Trial Chamber for trial. The Trial Chamber has illegally refused to act without having a case file before it, thus contradicting itself yet again.

Yim Tith alias Srei Chem/Im Chem - Case 004

When the Khmer Rouge took control of Phnom Penh in April 17, 1975, Yim Tith was appointed as the party secretary for Kirivong district (in Sector 13). During the regime’s power, Yim Tith rose to the position of Sector 13 secretary (until June 1978) and later became secretary of the North West Zone Sectors 1, 3 and 4. He is believed to responsible for crimes committed by Khmer Rouge cadres in Takeo Province from 1975 to 1978, in Pursat Province in 1978 to 1979 and later in Battambang Province in 1978 to 1979. He targeted Khmer Krom and Vietnamese communities for total elimination.

ECCC's prosecution was suggested to drop case 004 in return to get Cambodian judges to agree to proceed with Case 003 as Meas Muth was directly responsible for Khmer Rogue Navy and some districts. Conviction of Meas Muth would represent significant portion of Khmer Rouge misplaced regime as a whole. The Cambodian Prime Minister and dictator Hun Sen who has been in power sine 1985, himself a former Khmer Rouge soldier, does not want himself and his minions involved in additional trials, as more truth would come to light on lower level Khmer Rouge cadres who are now serving in the government.
