TO: Excellence SAR KHENG
Acting Prime Minister and Minister of Interior

Subject: Request the release to the public of all the files concerning the assassination of political
leaders, journalists, union leaders, Buddhist monks and artists.

Dear Excellence,

The recent subterfuges by the Royal Government Intelligence Bureau Q101under the order of Prime Minister HUN SEN and under the direct executive order of General MOL ROEURP have staged up the arrest of four people “suspected” of two foiled bomb plots in the city. But in reality, all those four people are active officers of the Bureau Q101. This stage aims to sap the moral of the opposition and democratic activists.

The Cambodian Action Committee for Justice & Equity (CACJE) notices and reminds that since
1993 to these days the assassins and groups of people behind the scene who ordered the assassination of political leaders, journalists, union leaders, Buddhist monks and artists were never arrested and put to trial.

The assassinated people or injured and crippled are:

1. Mr. THUN BUNLY Director of the Cambodian journal Khmer Ideology, supporter of SAM RAINSY Party was assassinated in 1995.

2. 19 union activists were killed and more than 160 people injured during the grenade attack on March 30, 1997 in front of the National Assembly.

3. Mr. HOU SOK, Secretary of State of Interior was killed in the building of Ministry Interior and his several collaborators were murdered during the coup of July 1997.

4. Ms. PISSITH PILIKA artist and professor at the University of Fine Art was assassinated on August 6, 1999.

5. Buddhist monk Ven. SAM BUNTHOEUN was murdered on February 6, 2003.

6. Mr. OUM RASADY was assassinated on February 18, 2003.

7. Mr. CHOU CHETHARITH, Ta Prum Radio’s reporter was assassinated on October 19, 2003.

8. Miss TOUCH SREYNICH, star singer, was crippled and her mom murdered on October 21, 2004.

9. Mr. CHEA VICHEA, union leader, was murdered on January 22, 2004.

10. Mr. ROS SOVANNRETH, union leader, was assassinated on August 11, 2004.

11. Mr. YIM SAMBO, journalist of Cambodian journal “Khmer Conscience” and his son were murdered on August 11, 2008.

12. Political Activists supporters of the Opposition were murdered. Human rights activist, defense of territorial integrity activists, and news reporters such as Radio Free Asia reporter’s LEM PISETH, all have received death threat.

The Cambodian Action Committee for Justice & Equity (CACJE) believes firmly that the Royal Government must according to the constitution assure and protect the fundamental rights of the people, the individual security rights, political rights, activists rights, union rights and render justice for the victims and their families.

Therefore, the assassins and those who ordered the assassination must be arrested and punished according to their crime.

The family victims, the victims and the international community don’t want to see the assassins and those behind scene who ordered the assassination lived free untouchable by the justice.

Excellence,

As acting Prime Minister, and as Minister of Interior you have all the responsibility of the police, the Cambodian Action Committee for Justice & Equity (CACJE) requests your Excellence to arrest all the assassins and those behind the scene who ordered the assassination in order to put them all on trial and punish accordingly to their crimes by the Court of Justice.

Sincerely,
SOURN SEREYRATHA
