Vietnamese Man Arrested in Ho Chi Minh for Torturing Cambodian Child
VOA Khmer | 10 December 2016
Under Cambodian law, Nguyen Thanh Dung could be charged with
aggravated torture and acts of cruelty, which carries a sentence of 10
to 20 years imprisonment.
PHNOM PENH —
A Vietnamese man accused of torturing a toddler in Mondulkiri
province was arrested in Ho Chi Minh city late Wednesday after fleeing
to his home country, according to police.
The arrest of Nguyen Thanh Dung, 25, came after a graphic video
circulated on Facebook allegedly showing him torturing the two-year-old
child, sparking outrage across Cambodia.
Deputy Mondulkiri Police Chief So Sovan told VOA Khmer Cambodian
police had temporarily concluded that Nguyen was the only suspect in the
case.
“According to our temporary conclusion, we think that he captured
that video by himself. But we need to wait for the answer from the
suspect whether there was another person who helped capture the video or
only him,” he said.
In the nearly three-minute video, the child is seen blindfolded with
his hands tied behind his back, while the suspect tortures him with a
taser on his ears, legs, back and nose.
The child’s mother, 30-year-old Neng Chen, who works on a cacao farm
in Mondulkiri, told VOA Khmer that the Vietnamese man was always playing
with her child.
“When I go to work, I bring my boy with me. That guy always played
with him when I was there ... When I took my kid back, I saw bruises. He
said my kid stumbled. I did not pay much attention,” she said.
Deputy National Police Commissioner Kirth Chantharith said Cambodian
and Vietnamese authorities cooperated to arrest the suspect.
He added that Cambodia is asking Vietnam to send the suspect back to Cambodia.
“We don’t know how Vietnam will interrogate the suspect, but we want
them to send the man here to file the document by our legal process and
proceed to the court. But we have not received the response back from
Vietnam,” he said.
Officials at the Vietnamese Embassy in Phnom Penh could not be reached for comment on Thursday.
Sok Ratha, a human rights coordinator for local NGO Adhoc in
Mondulkiri, said that despite being guaranteed safety under national and
international law, Cambodian children still suffer torture, violence
and child abuse.
Under Cambodian law, Nguyen could be charged with aggravated torture
and acts of cruelty, which carries a sentence of 10 to 20 years
imprisonment.
A Vietnamese gay man tortured and raped a Cambodian 2-year old boy with the help from a 52-year old Dutch gay man. What kind of a world do we live in?
ReplyDeleteThey live in the world of Cambodia. First, bad people tend to go to Cambodia as they are rejected else where, next they got worse.
DeleteCambodian parents must not leave their children unattended. The fault is partially with the neglecting parents.
I understand the Cambodian parents are so poor and they have to work so hard to feed hand-to-mouth. But the overall situation is made worse by Sam Rainsy. He kept asking for EU to punish Cambodia economically as a whole so that he can get power from Mr. Hun Sen.
Sam Rainsy must find a way to fight Mr. Hun Sen without affecting the poor, or he must quit. Sam Rainsy can learn from Aun San Sukyi, but noooo, he is too stupid and cheap, untalented.

Deletedrgunzet, you were a Yuon child rapist, were you not ?
No wonder you're mentally off balance !!!
Anonymous10:03 AM is a Vietnamese dog eater called Drgunzet. This poster @Anonymous10:03 AM talked nicely, but deadly. Just read this poster's comment.
ReplyDeleteThis guy looks like Drgunzet who abused the little child (2 years old) in Cambodia. This guy and Drgunzet are the Yuon/Vietnamese predators.
