Has died 77 year old comrade was serving a life sentence for atrocities committed in the notorious mass murder when hammy force. It was here in the capital of cambodia that comrade committed crimes against humanity told slaying prison in phnom penh was when more than 14000. 00 cambodians was sent to be tortured and murdered under the orders of the khamenei rouges top executioner even though doing it said during his trial in 2009 that he was following orders he admitted what happened in the prison known by its code name is 21 claiming something that i would like to acknowledge my legal responsibility for all the crimes that happened in this 21 especially the torture and execution of people that the committee rouge wanted to reveal lucian eyes cambodia in the late 1970 s. And executed anyone who might pose a threat to those ambitions as many as 2000000 were killed including teaches and academics and anyone deemed the worst enemies of the regime was sent to be executed by doing he was convicted in 2010 and sentenced to life in prison for war crimes and crimes against humanity since then only 2 other cmere rouge commanders have been convicted and they may well be the last leader pol pot was never brought to trial and died in 1908 from the start the justice process has been hampered by funding problems and interference from the government led by Prime Minister hun sen hes a former member of the command and has repeatedly called for the trials to end a judge who presided at the dog trial says she was always concerned that the government would only let the process go so far. Last month the case of another leader was terminated by the judges after a dispute about the jurisdiction of the. Courts there are 2 more cases pending but no hearings meaning maybe one of the final chapters in the commit crimes with only 3 people convicted for the Genocidal Campaign that killed hundreds of thousands many cambodians may feel that true justice was never. Bangkok. When they saw speak to terri saying who is a human rights activists and a noir and both her parents were killed by the command who shes vice kind from and thank you very much missing for being with us what does the death of mean to you as a daughter of victims of the killing fields says it bring any sort of closure. There is no closure to the mass crimes committed by the my rouge the kids today oh yes its just another reminder of just is not i he was given a sentence that is way to life. But now 5 i believe that you meeting his own image is the ultimate judge in that regard there is. Some closure but we may be much remember that that though it was a small fry he was not one of the Senior Leaders of the d which he was one o. He was in direct why not oh to 100 written by the firings and i was in a prison where 30000 were killed including my mother and so the death of. A milestone is that reminded of what kids feel very much. Its up that way continue to do it with us so its a reminder and a milestone. That what component dont take notice of is more interesting i think in the International Community than many come bowden say dont even know that he passed away right. Himself said that he wasnt one of the main. Perpetrators and at the time of his trial he had expressed regrets for his crimes in 2009 he told the court i am so lonely and individually responsible for the loss of at least 12000 lives and even though days later he asks to be acquitted do you think he really did feel regrets and would you forgive him his feet ask for forgiveness. Its not my place to forgive because i didnt suffer directly and to do it. I i and its not my place to joe chance and sincerity theres an ultimate judge that he is facing face to face right now but if he did. C c that step forward its a step in the right direction that he confessed those crimes that may have knowledge of his participation and its responsibility but again were talking about 15000 lives out of 2000000 lives and there were 200 present there were 200 the tension centers and countless countless killing fields so the deaths the passing of do it is its a sad reminder of our past but it doesnt really affect many can body and its famous because the playing and it involved the lives of so and some poor and victims but it doesnt touch directly the lives of cambodians survivors or the victims the tribe you know has convicted 2 scenic members needers while 2 other defendants died before their tries could be completed what do you think needs to happen for cambodia to move on from this painful past can he actually move on from this painful past. Well we need to change the current leadership because the current leadership were former khmer rouge officials when signed it was former khmer rouge leader so if and if were talking about justice its really hard to somebody you know appoint anyone to company and justice when the former leaders and officials are still currently in government so this is the obstacle to our pursuit of justice so if there if there is to be a genuine kept forward we need democracy we need to have freedom of expression we need to have a new leadership that doesnt have on its hands thank you so much for taking the time to speak to us and giving us your reaction there terry sang a human rights activists and moir whose parents were killed by the khmer rouge we really appreciate you talking to us thank you very much like. U. S. President donald trump has accused protesters of domestic terror in a city where a black man was shot 7 times in the back by police in support of Law Enforcement and against the labeled antiamerican but he failed to mention the name of jacob blake who was left allies in the shooting john hendren reports some commotion. The rubble is still piled high in the streets of can no ship buildings boarded in tempers flaring president Donald Trumps arrival in this battered city pitted his hardcore supporters against the demonstrators protesting the shooting of another black man by police. He came to praise police but must give far greater support to a Law Enforcement its all about giving him Additional Support these are great people he came to condemn protesters these are not acts of peaceful protest but really domestic terror and he came to take credit once they responded and once we took you know control of it things were really were in the 2 hour tour the president declined to say the name of jacob blake the black man now paralyzed from Police Bullets the officer responsible he said just choked and you have people to joke theyre under tremendous i said it yesterday i said it last night theyre under tremendous pressure he left the city more divided than ever his supporters on one side bold to show support for him as well as show support for this. Victimized. Loot and murder to appeal and stands for in the protesters of black lives matter on the other its effect. Theyre seeing a spike in racism since. This is a fact its totally out of control right now its totally out of control americans are fighting americans everybody is talking about. The next. G. s we interrupt that report to take you live to baghdad where french president Emmanuel Michel has arrived to meet with iraqi leaders this follows his visit to lebanon lets listen in to what he has to say is that me and find the iraqi Prime Minister and stuff. This is not something new. As iraq is faced with many challenges including the ones you mentioned. And any foreign intervention may undermine the efforts exerted by you as a government and i believe this visit is a special significance as you would represent a heavyweight in the region you are the cradle of civilization and iraq has always. Enjoyed. Unique position in history. And graphical landscape and this characterizes our bilateral relations and thats why as i said iraq is a crossroads and we and you and iraq are living a very critical moment to you mr president the government of fishers which i had an opportunity to meet and those who would meet with him for coming was should continue to share this vision namely to restore iraqs sovereignty and this is a very significant enterprise not only for iraq but for the entire region. And as you mentioned we would like i would like to reiterate that france is totally support. Supporting iraq state. And institutions and we will also continue to support you in your endevor towards restructuring the armed forces. And also in other Cultural Education and economic fields france will never feel relend and as i explained during our joint meeting once you come to. Put the finishing touches to these enterprises make no mistake that france will be by your side supporting you and standing by you and it is also to the interest of the International Community to support iraq and france is not an exception mr president i have had the pleasure of. Meeting and discussing these issues with you during this short visit and i would like also to reiterate that we are prepared and willing to continue to cooperate with you once again i cannot play the challenges and difficulties iraq is faced with once again thank you very much. French president emanuel mark hall speaking alongside the rocky president there. And not the Prime Minister as i mentioned earlier mccaw arriving in baghdad just after having been to beirut he is the most senior foreign official to visit iraq since the Prime Minister to me took office in may. Saying he is there to launch an initiative alongside the United Nations to support a socalled Sovereignty Initiative for iraq lets bring in our correspondent dorsetshire bari who is in baghdad for us so a door said this trip was not publicly announced until tuesday evening tell us more about what the french leaders said his the aim of this visit and what message his bringing to iraqi leader. Well the french president was very clear there are 2 things that are very very important to him in his country and that is that iraq continue to strive towards achieving its sovereignty and also stability in iraq is very important not only for iraq itself but also for the entire region and the International Community french president mccall said that he understands that iraq is faced with many many challenges and that they are also heavyweight in the region he said he called iraq the cradle of civilization he said that he will continue to support president barham saleh his vision to restore iraqs sovereignty he said that he wants to reiterate the support that his country has for the various and devers that the Iraqi Government and on forces are embarking on now he said that france will not abandon iraq and that they will continue to support this country in trying to put together the countrys infrastructure after many years of war and he was very very supportive of a vision that president saleh and the government have for the future of this country how big of a boost will this be for iraqs leaders dorsai theyve been under a lot of pressure from the streets from iraqis to bring about change will this help. Well its certainly a step in the right direction and its a very big step its a very important step the french president is the 1st western leader to visit since Prime Minister himself to me took office in may and it will be seen as a very important one because francis said that it is important for the Iraqi Government to try and quit carve out their own path in light of the fact that theyre caught in between 2 very close allies that are at odds with each other that is the United States and iran the Iraqi Government has found itself in the past caught in the middle and they understand the french government understand that its very important for iraq to try and remain their own self in the middle of this ongoing dispute between those 2 countries the french president will go on now to meet with the Prime Minister mustafa all cover me and then hes going to be meeting a number of political leaders before meeting the kurdish president before he leaves baghdad hes only here for a few hours but hes meeting everybody within the government to reiterate that message that iraq is not alone and they have the full support of the french government thank you very much for that door for us there in baghdad.
