Exclusive: Yale tells students to keep [WAR CRIMINAL] Kissinger talk secret
International Herald Tribune
(Peter Baker, November 20, 2012)
Theary Seng, president of the Association of Khmer Rouge Victims in Cambodia, said, “President
Obama should have met with the human rights community and activists
challenging the Hun Sen regime, and while then and there, offer a public
apology to the Cambodian people for the illegal U.S. bombings, which
took the lives of half a million Cambodians and created the conditions
for the Khmer Rouge genocide.”

Protests Greet Obama's Visit
International Herald Tribune / New York Times
PHNOM PENH — Theary Seng
was taking aim with precision and anger. The 41-year-old U.S.-trained
lawyer and a regular on Cambodia’s crowded protest circuit was about to
throw a dart at a poster of former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger.
Kissinger is one of 13 politicians and senior Khmer Rouge leaders in a dart game created by Poetic Justice,
a nongovernmental organization run by Theary Seng that highlights
deficiencies of the special U.N.-backed tribunal judging the Khmer
Rouge’s crimes. Each player gets five throws. A bull’s-eye is worth
seven points. The highest score wins.
Last Sunday afternoon, Theary Seng
and three members of her staff were playing on Phnom Penh’s riverfront
opposite the storied Foreign Correspondents’ Club. On this occasion —
the fourth time the game has been staged in public — the point was to
draw attention to the narrow scope of the Khmer Rouge tribunal ahead of President Barack Obama’s visit for a summit meeting of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations.
