# 108 Liam Miller challenges the honesty of Samleang Siela and Thierry Darnaudet & the integrity of the Phnom Penh Post

Dear Chad

Liam Miller has written the following, asking me to post it on my blog. I will do so. Before I do, however, I think it only fair to give you, as editor of the Phnom Penh Post, an opportunity to respond to what Liam Miller writes.

I have written to you several times about the PPP’s refusal to correct or apologize for having published  an article that the Post knows to be untrue, defamatory and to have caused great damage to Mr Miller – both personally and professionally.

cheers

James

Chad did not respond to this email.

To Samleang Siela and Thierry Darnaudet.

In your recent statement on APLE"S Webpage it is stated that you:

" …are committed to honesty and transparency."

"…never participate in a case you know to be untrue"

These  are blatant and insidious lies, falsely stated to continue to perpetrate the success of the criminal organization that is Action Pour les Enfants .

Am I qualified to make these statements ?

YES

Am I, like you both and your organization, someone who throws out generalizations without specifics?

NO

My qualifications are as a man who was falsely arrested on the charge of sexual harassment on the basis of APLE’s staff in collaboration  with the local police in Siem Riep 

APLE  illegally obtained statements from  witnesses  through lies, coercion and promises of financial gain.

Context... 

- I had been working as a Lecturer at a local University in Siem Riep and had just been invited to join the Academic Board. Try though they did neither APLE nor the police were able to find any evidence of unprofessional conduct between my students and myself.

I had recently had a dispute with my landlord  over bills and a rent increase .

The landlord was in a relationship with a young woman by the name of  Thai Duong 

Proof          

Siem  Riep Provincial Court of First Instance NON SUIT ORDER No 6904  Page 2  

"Thai Duong stated that two men from APLE (Lawyers)  approached her at her workplace said they would take her home  to discuss legal action against me  and it would be to her benefit.”

Instead, they took her straight to the police station and asked her to file a compliant against me, which she did.  Later she retracted her statement as she said it was only because the two men took her to the police station and at that time she was angry with William because he had fired her from her job and in fact He had never committed any sexual harassment against her  

She also said in the court document that "she was sorry to see that I was in Prison" 

Footnote:

Thai Duong  was fired because when I gave her time off to visit her family she went back to a massage shop where she had previously  been working ,which she had promised not to do.  I had a duty of care to her family so I terminated her employment and informed her family why .

Thai Duong  and her older sister came to see me to ask/ plead for her job back I refused ( stated in the court document )

Page 5

""Phan Elen  stated that William had never committed any sexual acts against her and  she did not give those answers and when the police finished writing  the minutes she just affixed  her thumbprint on  the document  without looking or reading them "".

YANN Chun Leng 

Page 4 

The Foreigner did not commit any sexual harassment or physical abuse against her 

The evil that is APLE  did not end with my  arrest . On the APLE  website it was reported reported that I had been charged with

"rape and sexual assault of three girls " .

This was printed word for word in The Phnom Penh Post ( and is found worldwide on a google search ) but not by The Cambodian Daily.

The Daily wrote: "It had not yet been decided what the charges would be on the same day quoting the same police officer.”

Samleang Siela and Thierry Darnaudet , the evidence is clear: 

You do not act with honesty and transparency

You  do participate in cases you know to be untrue 

And you are in collaboration ( what else are we to believe?) with the Phnom Penh Post – a newspaper that allow malicious lies to be printed  that ruin a mans life; lies that continue to be disseminated worldwide through google.

Where is your honesty , transparency, common humanity and decency, Samleang Siela and Thierry Darnaudet?

If you have any at all, inform the Phnom Penh Post  that the google post under their banner is blatantly untrue , wrong and harmful .

I have requested many times of the Phnom Penh Post editor , Chad Williams  and of publisher Chris Dawe  to retract the news report that they now to be false and to request google to remove it from their search engine. Mr Williams and Mr Dawe refuse my requests.

Will you, Samleang Siela and Thierry Darnaudet, do anything  to rectify the damage you have caused to my life?

This is what an organization committed to honesty and transparency would do ?
