This is a good move for the Plaintiffs against that unhumanity person.
The court system in Cambodia is controlled by him so no one can bring
him to court. Hopefully, our patriotic people will help to bring this
man to the U.S. court so he will pay for what he did to the people of
Cambodia.
I am so glad that our Patriotic people now actually went to protest
against Hun Sen at the U.N. This will let the world know how bad the
current PM. of Cambodia is.
