VIETNAM WORDS OF LIES : June 8, 1967 North VN PM Pham Van Dong makes a declaration of recognizing Cambodian independence, neutrality, sovereignty and territorial integrity. The declaration makes in response to Prince Sihanouk’s appeal for the recognition and respect of Cambodia’s territorial integrity. VIETNAM CRIMES AGAINST CAMBODIA : VIETNAM INVASION OF CAMBODIA 1978. Dec. 25, 1978 PM Pham Van Dong launched an invasion of Cambodia. Some 100,000 Vietnamese with 20,000 KUFNS troops, under the direction of Gen.Van Tien Dung, launch an invasion of Cambodia. VIETNAM OCCUPATION OF CAMBODIA : Under Vietnam occupation of Cambodia in 10 years 1979-1989 : under Le Duc Tho rule, an estimate 460 000 innocent Cambodian had died through TORTURE, BURIED ALIVE, SIMPLE EXECUTION, foced labor,famine ,stravation, malnutrition and sponsor starvation by the CPP regime recorded by Amnestry international and others. IT CONFIRMS BY THIS BOOK : on the behavior and character of a Vietnamese. BOOK " GIAI PHONG " by T Terzani. It describes a Vietnamese as THIEF, A LIAR, A KILLER, A DECEIVER , a sleeper ...... And this proof shows how 116 UN member countries condemned the Vietnamese leaders as liars. Oct. 21, 1986 The UN General Assembly adopted a resolution A/RES/41/6, by vote of 116-21 with 13 abstentions, calling for a withdrawal of Vietnamese forces from Cambodia. Again Vietnam, has not respected the 10 UN resolutions calling Vietnam to cease her occupation of Cambodia and remove all her troops from the country.

But the level of political interferences in the judiciary have never been on a scale seen today....and the lifting of Mr. Sam Rainsy's parliamentary immunity is a case in point and a gross injustice perpetrated by the executive branch interfering in the affairs of the legislative branch (the parliament) and the judicial branch (the court)......To read the full text clcik below.
