CAMBODIA: FORMER KHMER ROUGE LEADER MEETS BOUTROS GHALI

(30 Dec 1998) Eng/Khmer/Nat Survivors from a prison and torture centre run by the brutal Khmer Rouge say apologies from architects of the Cambodian genocide can't erase years of suffering. Khieu Samphan and Nuon Chea recently sealed a defection deal with Cambodian leader Hun Sen in Phnom Penh. But despite the pledges, Cambodian King Sihanouk has said he would not give amnesty to the defectors. On Wednesday, Khieu Samphan met with former United Nations Secretary General Boutros Boutros-Ghali. Former United Nations Secretary General Boutros Boutros-Ghali is in Cambodia to promote the French language as head of the International Francophone Organisation. He agreed to meet Khmer Rouge defector Khieu Samphan but made no comment as he left the meeting. The Cambodia Daily newspaper quoted Boutros Boutros-Ghali as saying that he did not support the formation of an international tribunal to bring the former Khmer Rouge leaders to trial. Khmer Rouge chieftains Khieu Samphan and Nuon Chea flew to Phnom Penh on Tuesday after sealing a defection deal with Prime Minister Hun Sen that included assurances they would not face trial for the genocide. A spokesman for Ieng Sary - another Khmer Rouge member who defected some time ago - said the past should be left alone. SOUNDBITE: (English) "Now we need not this war. I think that nobody want the war. Even you, you did not want. Q - Do you think they'll be talking about what the King has said. A - I don't know, I don't know." SUPER CAPTION: Long Noren, Spokesman for Ieng Sary But despite the pledges, Cambodian King Sihanouk has said he would not give amnesty to the defectors. King Sihanouk, 76, is receiving medical treatment in Beijing, and made the comments in a statement faxed to news organisations. His refusal casts doubt on the legitimacy of the deal Prime Minister Hun Sen granted the two leaders. Hun Sen has promised they can defect to the government in exchange for assurances they will not be tried for crimes against humanity. Khmer Rouge victims also believe the rebel leaders must be held accountable for the deaths of as many as 2 (m) million people during the Maoist movement's 1975-79 rule of Cambodia. SOUNDBITE: (Khmer) "They definitely should go to trial because the Khmer Rouge leaders killed my father and mother. I don't support the amnesty." SUPER CAPTION: Sok Sarat, Khmer Rouge Victim Khieu Samphan and Nuon Chea told a news conference on Tuesday they were very sorry for the deaths. But they refused to accept responsibility. SOUNDBITE: (Khmer) "When Khieu Samphan said he was sorry I wanted to ask him who was responsible for killing all of these people. I think I cannot give him amnesty, the people must have justice." SUPERCAPTION: Kosal Nea, Khmer Rouge victim The Khmer Rouge used Tuol Sleng, a former high school, for its treacherous activities and it was converted into a barbarous interrogation and torture centre for political prisoners. More than 20-thousand people are estimated to have perished at the prison, known by the code name S-21.
