Run for your Life - Cambodia

July 1997
A historic report filmed during CPP party leader Hun Sen's takeover of Cambodia.

Our camera follows officials of Prince Ranariddh's Funcinpec party as they are secretly smuggled out of the country. After a dash to the airport by car, Funcinpec Head of Security Hong Dar waits nervously as his false papers are checked by airport officials. Like many others denied assistance by foreign embassies in Cambodia's latest crisis, this is his only way out, convinced he'll be tortured and assassinated if he stays. Another fleeing Funcinpec official, his face disguised, tells how Hun Sen's soldiers came to his house and shot his wife. He too is smuggled out the same way. Surrounded by security guards, Hun Sen states he has "no regrets" in using force to oust rival Prince Ranariddh. Press reporters asking unpalatable questions are quickly shoved out of the crowd. Senior Funcinpec member Ung Huot admits Hun Sen approved his appointment as new First Premier. He promises free elections despite suspicions he's merely a puppet of the CPP. Can Kim lost two children when a shell hit her home. Her youngest child, still wounded, strokes her mother's face as she weeps. Human Rights Lawyer Brad Adams says Funcinpec fears are well founded.

Funan and Chenla were Khmer. They were just called differently by the Chinese.

The first Funan Khmer King was Kaudinya Varman and the last Khmer King is King Sihanouk Varman and the King is 90 years today living in the royal palace in Phnom Penh City. We don't use other people name if we don't belong to.

Hun sen didnt take over Cambodia,the vietnamese communist did.And they asked hun sen to keep his one good eye on the Cambodian,to make sure we don't misbehave.Any talk of freedom,free speech,human rights,free press and all that nonesense will be met with swift punishment.Uncle Ho is the law of our land and hun sen is there to enforce it.
